"We're confident that we'll be able to announce a 19th team shortly, and our hope is that 19th team will be in Montreal," he said Thursday during a meeting with the Associated Press Sports Editors.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Super Sex!!!
Good news and not really surprising. Can't wait until we play them on the road on a weekend. This will make the 1800-2000+ at Columbus look like childs play.
this will be EPIC!!!
What does it mean that they "hope" its Montreal? Have they decided upon who gets the 19th spot or what? But yeah, this is certainly good news ... not a surprise but good news none the less. It looks as if Saputo's withdrawal back in 2008 paid off.
^ How so?
Saputo said the other day on some podcast that they were just looking over contracts and getting clarification on certain points (points unrelated to $$$). He also said the announcement will come soon.
Finally, a rivalry that isn't manufactured!
This could be the closest thing to a West Ham v Millwall.
Woo hoo!
Finally another road trip I can attend!
VanCity and Montreal!
Atlanta or South Florida?
Why are all sports commisioners fucking retarded.

i wouldnt say that the TFC-Columbus is manufactured, its very real for many of us and was that way before the trillium cup nonsense
still super psyched for tfc-l'impact games
I think the fact of two cities both different in culture and traditions duking it out on the field sounds sweet to me .. I just hope it doesn't spill out onto the fans and the streets.. We all know how much the montrealers love to break shit and burn shit when they win something..
This could get really ugly (in a good way) muahahahaha

It was always just a matter of time before Montreal was brought into the league. Admittedly, we don't get a huge number coming out for the NCC games as it is, but once we start playing them on weekends...
OH FUCK!
It's gonna be intense!
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
Can you hear the impact sing?!?!
MLS will be a huge hit in Montreal in my opinion... I have feeling that Montrealers will take great pride in being the French invasion of the Anglo league. And they love their football there....
I wonder if Montreal may tap into second division French league players if they find the talent pool a little thin in MLS circles in 2012.
Fuck the Limp Act!
I'll bring the bricks and you can bring the hammers!
So how does this change the NCC?
Will we just play Montreal and Vancouver more often with league games not counting towards the NCC?
It actually would be awesome to play Montreal and Vancouver 4 times a year instead of just 2... could really help grow the sport here in Canada.
Yeah that would make most sense ^^^^
well league games currently don't count towards the NCC.
So we'd face them twice in the NCC and twice in MLS league play.
Montreal will be a hit. They'll problably make the playoffs before TFC at this pace
NCC would be outside the MLS schedule I would assume like the US Open Cup. Would be nice to open up the NCC more with FC Edmonton around the corner too.
