We Deserve MLS Cup

[James17930]

Wouldn't you say?

Besides, wasn't it promised to us when we joined the league?

So givvit. 2010.

[Pookie]

^ format appears to be changing.

Finish at the top of the table (or be the highest remaining seed) and make it through the playoffs and we'd host a final.

[Parkdale]

I can see why Seattle got it last year, and they did a good job hosting.
This year is should be at BMO, and TFC should be in it to win it.


This Is Our Year

[Toronto Gunner]

anybody catch PBs tweet the other day?

Paulbeirne: Splitting hairs: if TFC hosts the MLS Cup Final and TFC is IN the MLS Cup Final, then it is no longer a "neutral" site... I'm only sayin'!

Don't know if it means anything or not.

[James17930]

Nope -- they just announced it would be staying the same.

[ensco]

Would we care, if TFC are not in it? Would we buy tickets in advance?

Most wouldn't, I'd wager.

[Toronto Gunner]

^ they'll make it a mandatory condition for renewing season seats for 2011.

Aux barricades!

[trane]

I do not care were the MLS cup is played, I just care that TFC is in it. Sure if they were in it, thenit would be nice that it were in Toronto. But otherwise I do not care.

[OneLoveOneEric]

I would hate to see the MLS Cup in our ground if we're not playing in it.
It would just be rubbing my nose in it.

[trane]

^ Agreed. 1000% [ a little something from Maury]

[Phil]

I have a feeling we are in the running for it. Hopefully our team is too

[Oldtimer]

Imagine if the Cup were in T.O. and TFC were in it.
The first Toronto playoff finalist in years.
The whole city would be abuzz.

[james]

when TFC started in 2007 we were basicly promised an all-star game at BMO field and a MLS Cup Final by 2012.....so far we did get the all-star game!

[Technorgasm]

lets nail these first. .


GET A GOAL
GET POSITIVE GD
WIN A GAME
GET PLAY OFFS
DIVSIONAL CHAMPS
CUP FINAL
CUP WIN

HOME OPENER WIN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[yellowfellow]

I think it's likely given that we have grass now.

[Hitcho]

^ I dunno. It can get pissing cold up here around that time of year.

[Hitcho]

This Is Our Year

I like this big red refrain you have adopted Parky, but as much as I'd love it to be true, there's really not much to base it on. We stank for much of last season, and since then we've lost Guevara and Vitti who were probably our two most gifted footballers and Amado in particular was often the key for us going forward while he was here. We have no wide players (Jimmy excepted but he's mostly been a full back since he signed for us and there's talk of him asking for a lower wage and reduced role next season). Our defence is disturbingly shaky. We have no natural goal scorer or reliable finisher. Yes, we have a new coach (who is likely to be much better than any of our previous coaches) but so far he has nothing new to work with and we have nothing to speak of in terms of draft picks as things currently stand.

So whilst I love the optimism and I want to get on board with it, it would only be based on blind faith (the one true weapon of hope for all sports fans everywhere).

But still, let's hope you;re right dude!

At least we have still got DeRo and hopefully De Guzman will prove more influential next season. I really hope Gerba can get fit preseason, it would be a boost if he could actually run. Hopefully some of the younger players from last season will improve even more having gained more experience.

TFC could win the FIFA Club World Cup and people would still rather watch the Leafs.

[Roogsy]

I wouldn't mind another MLS Cup in LA...it's a nice place to be in November.





But an MLS Cup game at BMO Field with TFC in it? I think I'd lose my mind.

[sulfur]

^ I dunno. It can get pissing cold up here around that time of year.

On the day of the MLS Cup Final this year, Seattle was 5C cooler than Toronto. Oh, and it pissed rain there all day with blustery winds. We had a nice, almost windless day.

Just sayin'.

[Canadian Blue]

TFC had years to go before they challenge for the MLS Cup

Me too, but as much as the thought of that day fills me with unctrollable joy, it also fills me with dread and fear that TFC SSH would not be given access to their usual seats and there would instead be some kind of lottery as the tickets would be split among the teams taking part. Imagine TFC in an MLS Cup final at BMO Field and half of the SSSH not being able to get in. It makes me want to puke. Still, Joe's would be buzzin'!

[Redcoe15]

I'd prefer TFC playing for, and winning, an MLS Cup before hosting one. Just sayin'.

[Hitcho]

^ Oh come on, live the dream - we play in and win it at BMO FIELD BABY!!!!

Ugh..




Never thought of this...I am feeling a little sick to my stomach.

[Redcoe15]

Yes that would be so sweeeeet. But, if forced to choose, then it's TFC going for and winning the cup all the way.

[Hitcho]

Ugh..

The first time I saw this dreamed about on the boards it went straight through my mind. "FUCKING A!!!! But what if I don't get my seats?"

This is probably one of the major reasons why final venues are always neutral. I mean yeah, sure, be fair to both sides and all that, but also avoid major fucking riots from your fan base by telling SSH they cannot have their seats for the final.

Fuck that for a game of soldiers!

[James17930]

But think about it -- if we're hosting it, that just gives us an added, extra incentive to reach the Cup (not that we should need such extra incentive, theoretically, but you know how it is).
