very vulnerable defence for Mtl
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Samesies. The wife and I are making the trip in from the dirty shwa to watch us pound the fuck out of the dirty impact
TIC TAC TABERNAC!!!!
Even though Montreal is taking this game lightly, I hope Nelsen doesn't return the favor. We have a title to defend.
It might not be much, but it's all we've got for now.

100% agree! In fact, I hope he goes the opposite...Even though Montreal is taking this game lightly, I hope Nelsen doesn't return the favor. We have a title to defend.

They left a bunch of regulars are at home - play our strongest 11 and try and win it 2-0 / 3-0 & stick it to them...
God knows, we could use a padded lead heading to MTL...

The danger is that he could look at the Voyageurs Cup the same way one would look at the League Cup in England: nice to have but not a real priority. It's more important than that for us, even if MLS is more important for most fans (If all Canadian MLS were to take the view that it's unimportant, we would see FC Edmonton in the CCL).
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I think Nelsen is going to take this very seriously. Fact is, we need a solid 90 minutes, and a win would do wonders, regardless of whether it is in the league or Canadian championship. Also, it would be a good psychological boost before going in to face the Shite Bulls.
Absofrigginloutly!!!! They made a mistake, & this is Our Cup, Our House.... Lets beat them

HAMMERS OF HELL...!!!
Let me do all caps!
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
I'm pumped I got the day off I can't wait anymore
Okay so I've "Borrowed" about 4 dozen red & white balloons from my work for tonight...... bring em?
That sucks I was hoping nesta would be coming out so my dad could see him play.
Well, if they do go at them like the hammers of hell, looks like they'll be doing it with "one of the greatest finishers of the modern era". Earnshaw, Bendik, O'Dea all rumoured to be starting on the bench for this one.
Why not...!!!
Crowd will be lean with this weather - anything we can do to add to the atmosphere will help...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
Yeah, it's too bad the weather forecast sucks tonight. It's going to be a sparse crowd.
FREI is starting...

"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
Yeah too bad. Some of the newer players will be wondering how thousands will travel to Montreal but we only get half a stadium at home. Players who were here last year will know weekday V-Cup and CCL attendance in Toronto sucks now throw in some cold weather (rain is supposed to clear) and there you have it. I don't care though. I am going....
That's what we like to hear! Me too!
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
I think a strong lineup is in order, but not 100% starting XI. I'm thinking something along the lines of:
---------------Frei-------------
-Richter--Agboss--Califf--Morgan-
-------------Hall---------------
-----Bekker----------Bostock---
-------------Silva--------------
-------Welshman---Braun------
If Emory is good to go, than I would play him. I like the fast striker - big striker combo, but I think Earnshaw needs a rest so Welshman is the logical replacement IMO. He also knows the importance of this tournament better than most (exceptions being maybe Henry and Frei) and will hold absolutely nothing back. Although I think I read something a while back about him picking up an injury. lets hope he's over that.

weather is unpredictable.. the only constant is..... I NEVER MISS A VC/CCL MATCH!!!!! see you all tonight
i would endorse this lineup if Richter was on the right and Morgan was on the left.
woops, you're right. I was thinking that Morgan was injured. I forgot that he was only suspended in the last game. So yes, start Morgan on the left
is there going to even be many people at the game tonight?? well more importantly is the supporters in the south end going to be in full voice even tho the stadium is probably going to be half empty.
I don't care if the stadium is half empty as long as the atmosphere is still good I am happy.
Open invitation to everyone...If you see an opening in the supporter end come one over and fill it in with us. I would rather one loud filled in supporter section versus everyone being scattered. I am sure others would agree.
"Its gonna be wet.....
Its gonna be cold.....
if you choose not to come,
Your getting to Old!!!!!"
The English based players are going to thrive in this weather. Just like home.
Haha, true enough. Maybe that's why the Impact left all of their Italian players at home, LOL.
Here's how I read the situation:
Both clubs are in tough with their schedules over the next couple of weeks.
Montreal coach hints he's starting second stringers. This is in fact a *hint-hint* *wink-wink* offer for both teams to play their bench.
Nelsen takes the offer, and he'll be playing depth players, with maybe a few starters. Montreal will do the same.
This kind of *nudge-nudge, wink-wink* stuff is done all the time with secondary competitions in Europe. Teams are supposed to always play their top 11, but clubs often find it in their interest to do something else.
So the question is, whose bench is stronger? I think our 'keeper is by far the best backup in MLS. We might be a bit dodgy in quite a few other areas. What do you think? Who has the stronger bench?

5834 to 9890 actual people in the stands. That's my guess. And Justin Braun is going to prove to the world that he's the best player in the MLS tonight. Unless Nelsen thinks he's part of the starting 11.
