    That list needs more Canadian options. What would really be great is another Ontario team (Kitchener/Waterloo, Ottawa, Kingston, London... who knows).

    You can't kill yourself with a shot to the foot.
    It heals and Montreal will rise again.

    It may not matter, Garber says we may not see expansion again until 2018.

    M.L.S. will add Philadelphia next season and its 17th (Vancouver) and 18th (Portland) clubs in 2011. But 19 and 20 may not come until 2018, the commissioner said.

    If this is true, then it doesn't matter what we think now, because 9 years is a hell of a long time for owners to flop, cities to change, etc.

    Garber is the king of posturing. As long as there's teams losing money in MLS there will be a need for an expansion fee cash injection. Garber's posturing is just meant to signal to prospective owners that the ship is leaving town so they better pony up while they still can.

    I was in Miami last week and on a side trip to South Beach I noticed that almost everyone had a football.....and not the pointy kind. Miami COULD be a good choice.

    Montreal, Rochester can't draw flies to shit. Montreal should've been in already. Move FC Dallas to Hamilton, give Montreal a team & everyone else can fuck off

    Montreal should be on that list. Sure, they shot themselves in the foot during the last round but Saputo and Garber know they need one another. Gov't money won't hurt either if Saputo can get funding to help with expansion of his stadium.

    Molson Stadium right downtown.

    I don't understand why no one else is looking to do this and tap the Montreal market.

    Of course, they can't even find someone to buy the hockey team....

    FC dallas at Ivor Wynne? thats all MLS needs is more pointy ball lined fields...Hamilton could support a USL team Div 1 but need a SSS and
    thats not likely in the Steel city.

    A poll about MLS expansion and no Montreal, the obvious choice. I'd expect that from this Montreal hating wingnut. I recommend this thread be closed down.
    TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)

    why should Montreal even be considered after what they pulled? If you want more Canadian cities...lets try Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg
    They are no more a risk the Montreal...Montreal may have the stadium, but they lack a quality owner...by the way you do know Saputo is trying to Bid on the Montreal canadians do you? for a guy that tried to lowball the MLS, he sure found the extra money to go after the Habs?
