Mornin' all Can you hear Montreal sing ?


No TFC news for now.



Who else?
Gerry Dobson

There seems to be a feeling in some circles that since Miami is officially out of the MLS expansion sweepstakes, Vancouver has moved into the frontrunner position.

News flash: Vancouver has always been a frontrunner. Whether you believe it or not, Vancouver has been the league's No. 1 choice, almost since the day they submitted their bid last October. They've always had the money. They've always had a stadium plan. They've always had a strong organization. They exist in a soccer market with deep roots. Nothing has changed.

In fact since day one Vancouver has been the only application without any warts.

Stunning second-half collapse sinks Impact
By SUN WIRE SERVICES

The Montreal Impact is out of the CONCACAF Champions League after a shocking 5-2 loss to Mexican side Santos Laguna last night at Torreon in the second leg of their aggregate quarterfinal. The Impact held the advantage after winning the first leg 2-0 in Montreal on Feb. 25, but fell apart on Santos' home ground and lost by an aggregate score of 5-4. The home side scored four goals in the second half, the final two coming during four minutes of injury time.

[nascarguy]

did we click on different links?

[CretanBull]

did we click on different links?

SSG = cute
COED = low by their standards

Some slack has got to be cut, they're usually not in the same universe, today they're atleast in the same ball park!

[manic.street.preacher]

wow, mtl that is just embarrassing

[Luanda]

Not suprising really. Mtl was missing 5 starters from the line-up. They put up a good fight in the first half, but the second was a complete melt down. Thus beyond the starting 11, Mtl is not particularly deep.

Stunning second-half collapse sinks Limpact

i think i agree

though there's something about SSG's nose that makes her pretty... manly

and first time i've heard of a white girl named Alisha

[Eastend]

Seriously though, too bad for Montreal to lose it that way. I, for one, was rooting for them.

OK now, let's hear it: blah blah blah blah %^@#$&$%*&*$@#%@% blah blah blah.

[Pigfynn]

Finally, now can we go back to keeping this thread about TFC and MLS news?

Fucking Limpact....it's almost worse when you make it almost to end and lose isn't it?

See you May 13th when we hand you your ass.

fixed!

[rocker]

what, only 1 story on the impact loss? I was hoping for more!

[Oldtimer]

It's not bad that the Impact made it this far, good for Canadian soccer.

However, it also feels good that now they are out (and what an epic flameout!) and we won't have to hear anything more from them or their boastful supporters until we beat them for the Voyageurs Cup.

From BBC Football's site:

Beckham to extend AC Milan stay


David Beckham will stay at AC Milan until the end of the season after a 'timeshare' deal was finally agreed with Los Angeles Galaxy. The 33-year-old former England captain will then rejoin LA Galaxy for several months, before returning to Milan at the end of the year...

However, it is understood the 'timeshare' agreement means he will miss at least 17 games of this year's Major League Soccer season, which has a total of 30 matches per club, with his return to action in the United States now set to be on 18 July at the New York Shite Bulls.

I've heard this story many times, but this is the first time that BBC Football has reported it as fact.

I like this headline:

Impact out after ugly late collapse

http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/597489

CBC had a great quote:

The team should have done better as far as applying the basic principles, which we normally execute well," Limniatis said. "Santos Laguna showed a lot of energy — this is normal when a team scores goals — and it kept them going until the end."

Strongly disagree. SSG today just isn't for me. COED is damn sexy today.

[CretanBull]

^Everyone is entitled to their opinion - and every opinion that prevents the mention of the Impact or David Beckham is a very, very good opinion.

[flatpicker]

The Montreal loss was one of the biggest blunders I have seen in sport.
I was in a mild state of shock that they let that one get away.
I'm no lover of Montreal, but damn! my stomach turned a little watching a team disintegrate like that.

Terrible display.

Makes you wonder though how successful an MLS team can be in this competition with such limited roster sizes. 3 or 4 injuries will put a lot of pressure on any MLS team to be able to produce a quality game.

[TorontoBlades]

the ball is round and there are 11 aside - think about the luck they had...starting with the game at BMO when the ball fell in front of the one person in the world that can't finish from half a yard out. they weren't there on merit that's for sure

[S_D]

Well the best team in the tourney won it.

TFC certainly didn't deserve to be in it and neither did Vancouver. Let's face it TFC last season left a lot to be desired as they were still building. I do have higher expectations this season though, but do not expect the other teams to roll over.

This is really a pretty stupid arrangement. Do you think the Galaxy fans are really going to cheer him on and welcome him back with open arms in July?

They should have let him go for the $3 mil or whatever and been done with it.

On Iron Mike in the morning on 97.7 HTZ FM, they rate the sunshine girls..today they gave her the best rating they've given any of them..

honestly i don't think she is as hot...Coed is hotter...

on a side not, hearing the montreal impact collapse, it reminds me of the recent Portuguese NAtional Team collapse against Denmark when they were up 2 nil and gave up 3 goals in last 5 minutes or so including injury time...

[TFC Cityboy]

I have never seen such one way traffic in a match -I wish we'd had access to the possession stats that Setanta and Sky use- I'd guess 90/10 over the match (99/1 2nd half).

Montreal's run was great for Canadian football, and I wanted them to go thru...having said that a loud chorus of " 4-1 and you fucked it up " will be called for in May

LMAO!

So this is essentially a repeat of Becky's first season here where he showed up injured after finishing the season in Spain and played something like 30 seconds the rest of the season?

Well done MLS! You just got owned Limpact style!

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

I have never, ever witnessed a worse collapse than what Montreal managed last night.

And with due respect to Santos, it's not like they were playing AC Milan or something either. They should have held on.
