Whats more important..League success or canada Championship
one or the other folks
League
League, no doubt. The other teams in Canada play in a percieved lower league, and there are only two of them.
League.
Winning the league, anything else on top of that is gravy. The Supporter's Shield is 1st in my books.
Neither. They are equally important and the Canadian championship is only 4 extra games no need to prioritize.
I need to see TFC smoke the 'Caps and win the CC, but I voted league.
I said CC only because its so short and has minimal impact on the big picture
And having just read that I realize its a total contradiction.
I just want some silver.

Canadian Championship. It's the only way we can get into CONCACAF Champs League.

you dont have to choose between them.
but i want silverware....and i want INTL games that mean something.
Well you never added Concacaf Champions League in this.
Winning the League is better then just winning the Canadian Championship since Canadian Championship only has 3 teams in it while MLS has 15 teams.
But id rather win Concacaf Champions League and get a chance to compete against the worlds best in the World Club Cup then just 1st place in MLS, and only way to get to compete in Championship League is by winning the Canadian Championship. So really they kinda cross over eachother here.

AS far as the players are concerned, I'm sure it's the league.
I dont believe they get an extra cent for the CC, and if they qualify for the CL, they have to play more games, a longer season (meaning shorter break and earlier pre-season) for no extra compensation.
AS a worker, it's like being told to work overtime for nothing.
Furthermore, there is no real consequence for not qualifying, so why bother?
well they might get paid extra for those games. Montreal sure went far. And MLSE could alywas pay them more money if they want for extra games. I dont think there is any rules or salary cap in Champions League stopping clubs from paying players extra money for extra games. More games for TFC means more revenue for MLSE. Means ticekt sales and TV deals. TFC did already sell qualifying matches for Champions League, seems like they are kind of pushing to get some extra games in.
Heh. Exiled, ask Cunny if theres any consequences to not playing hard in those games. But definitely league. Taking the MLS Cup or Supporters shield would be UNREAL. We're supposed to win the CCC. Now, if we were able to be competative in the club world cup, now that'd be a WHOLE other story
Exactly! The CCL is more important than the league IMO therefore winning the Voyageurs Cup is job one!

The whole team played like crap in that tournament. Cunny played like crap throughout the season.
the way the league is formatted in MLS comming in 1st place may also not always feal like you won the league because its broken into 2 divisions East/West and you dont play every team the same amount of times. Winning the league by having a few more points then the 2nd highest rank team may not always seem justified.
if MLS was in a 1-league table format then id say finnishing 1st in the season means much more.

Montreal is not restricted by MLS salary cap.
TFC players can't get paid extra for those games without affecting the salary cap, MLSE doesn't make the rules here.
THATS IT RIGHT THERE.
I hate the Impact and the crew.
So this weekend we can get the ball rolling.
TFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know MLS has salary caps, but when its not an MLS match like in the Canadian Championship or in Champions League matches i dont think they play by MLS rules. Couldnt they just say to TFC players for every X-number of matches you guys win in Canadian Championship or Champions League we will pay you X-number of $$$. It would be like a bonus for games they arent playing in MLS.
A perfect example would be the Super Liga they had. The club that won that tournamnet got an extra $1 millions dollars. So im pretty sure TFC players can get paid extra for extra matches in the CCC and Champions League if MLSE really wants to push to win some International matches!

BOTH!!
You're guessing.
I've had this conversation before, and I took your position, apparently the teams in the CL are bound by the rules of their domestic leagues, also, players can't get extra bonuses or incentives beyond the cap, or we would be able to stack the team way over the cap and claim the players are getting paid for being on the squad for the CC.
If you're going to contradict this again, please quote a source.
Champions League
Road trip to Columbus or road trip to Cancun..............

Wouldn't Nutrilite be fronting the cash for any prize money? Just a guess, but if none of the players on each team were getting any compensation I doubt we'd have a tournament at all.
