being a bit selfish why can't we shoot for both...having TFC in the playoffs and in the Concacaf champions league in the second season would be terrific.
Whats more important...league match or Canada cup

There's really no reason why we shouldn't be able to! It would be awesome!

the League is more important then the Canada Cup, but the Champions League would be a different argument.

But the Canada Cup leads to the CCL. Wouldn't that mean they are both equally important.
Is it ? Because winning the Canada Cup is what gets you into the Champion's League.
The Canada Cup is our CL qualifier.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
I want TFC to take the Canada Cup very seriously because, while it may be a small competition, it's a first step for TFC in terms of picking up silverware.
Canada Cup games are agianst 2 USL teams. The silverware means nothing when the opponents are nothing.
im sure english teams feel the same way when the play italian club sides!!
if you watched the Caps-Galaxy game...the Caps can play against MLS teams and hold their own if we go into the match thinking they will be pushovers...turn out the lights.
Sure it can happen, I'm not daying that. All I'm saying is that they are USl teams and the product isn't great. I wouldn't risk injury of players against thos eteams.
To me the league games are more important.
And as far as your comment about the Italian side goes how come Engalnd isn't in the Euro 2008. The top 16 teams in Euro have qualified and the weakest links in Euro (England,) didn't qualify. The English side is left to play friendlies against the US and Trinidad.
Another thing the English clubs have faired well against the Italian club teams this year for 1 reason - becaus eof their international players (i.e Balalck, Droga, Ronaldo, Nani, Torres etc) not because of their own players
remind me which serie a team is in the CL final again? and remember english teams don't NEED to bribe officals.. as far as the USL goes, a goodSure it can happen, I'm not daying that.

have could play right now in MLS, Montreal, vancouver, Seattle,Portland,
The US is not a "weak team" seeing as how it is ranked 21st above Euro 2008 participants, Russia (25) and Sweden (23) and Cup of African Nations semi-finalist Ivory Coast (21)Sure it can happen, I'm not daying that.

Trinidad IS a weak side at 88 and well Canada is...62

Where is the option for "They are equally important"? That's my vote.
They're both important, but I can't choose which is most important because I want us to win it all.
Not enough options in this poll I'm afraid.
Success in both increases our ability to attract good players
was going to add both as an option but...anyhoo

Chelsea...!!
yeah the league is the reason why we play.
i want to win everything including the canada cup. but the MLS cup would be something that we could hold over every other MLS team.
BUT, we can only get into the champions league though the canada cup.....so lets win that too
Both would be fine but I couldn't care less about the MLS cup. The chance to play teams outside the MLS? Not a difficult choice.
BOTH!!! It MUST be BOTH!!!
QFT !!!!!!!!!!
The Canada Cup as we are calling it is huge, going against Montreal and Vancouver will bring the game into a coast to coast National pressence. I just think for the game in this country this tournement can do a lot, also it will be great to see Serge and Adam make their returns to BMO Field. I really liked Serge and know what he was up against last year, very happy to see him back on the pitch.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
there really should have been more options in the poll.
I demand a do-over!
The league; no doubt in my mind whatsoever.
I don't get - If we win the the Canada cup we have proven we are better than two USL teams. If we win the MLS cup, we are the best of the best in Canada/USA... Seems like a no brainer to me...
Why aren't people looking further ahead? It's not so much about the league vs. Canada Cup. It's really the league vs. the Champions League. The Canada Cup leads to the Champions League. That's the no-brainer. I would love to hear how someone can argue that the Champions League is unimportant.
