Solid killing off of the match... and it's game won 2-0. No away goals conceded.

I really hope they can pull it off in Costa Rica... 3-0 would have been nicer. But that is a good start.
Montreal win 1st leg!
The prospect of Montreal playing this well in the league has me deeply irritated.
Man, how did Cameron Porter fall to the third round?
Great win by Montreal, they played really well. Gave themselves a real shot to advance, although the second leg will be very tough
Good job MTL. The next leg is in three weeks! That is ridiculous.
Also, if they do manage to not screw this up... Which is distinctly possible, anyone remember that Santos Laguna game... I hope they sell out the Big O.
I was cheering for the impact to get past pachuca... Now I'm saying fawhkk them.
Being regional champs trumps any chants, any DPs signings, any playoff berths, any record sellouts.
What I'm saying is, they would be considered better than TFC forever until we have won it.
So I say now, Forza Allajuenese!
And I don't get why people worry about what supporters of another team think and say.
Win on the pitch on the day. Everything else is noise.
Or having your girlfriend of 6 years being an Impact supporter...
Monta-reds and Capu-blues
can't handle the pro impact comments in here. *pukes*
"Other supporters" is different from "Rival supporters".
This is how rivalries are fuelled.
WIN a league game on the day is noise. (Because you can get them next game or next year)
WIN a continental trophy is glory, praise, and world recognition. (Qualification for the next tournament is not guaranteed)
I don't see how you don't see this as such.
To compare Nottingham Forrest to Manchester City, it shows me you don't understand/or grasp the idea of true rivalries.
Those two teams are not rivals, and never will be.
so to help you out
Currently Yes, because they have way more league, cup, and European championships than city does, so all in all that club is better.
As previously stated, when people start treating Nottingham Forest as a bigger and better team then Man City, then I'll believe this means anything close to "forever".
I don't need praise and or cringing in woe at our success by others to support TFC.
And, although I could quote you quite a few people who support other rivals who are happy to see their big rival win on the big stage, no, I don't care about how rivalries are done in other countries. I support TFC cause I support TFC. I don't need loathing of the Impact in all aspects to do that.
(This is one of those "ur not a real supporter" discussions and is going to go nowhere)

You know I was not intending for it to be that way.......but I guess you're right lol.
all I'm saying is there is no reason to support them. There only Canadian team by name, as no one in their starting xi was Canadian. I get it if your wife/gf/bf/family member supports them....that happens.
I just cant understand supporting them to win it, especially when you have no ties to the club.
it was cool when they were in D2 in the semi finals (playing with Canadian content) but now.....I just don't get it.
"Hardcore" fan or not....this is not common.
Well, Montreal is a Canadian club playing in the MLS, so I'm cheering for a Canadian MLS club playing against a Costa Rican club.
As for not common, a person I know who is an ex-pat was cheering for Tottenham when they were playing against a German club.
I know he is a die hard Arsenal supporter so I asked him why he was supporting a rival, his reply was simply that they were playing against a German club.
Instead of being arrogant, why don't you assume that he was making a point you didn't understand, rather than that his point was ludicrous? Of course he wasn't comparing them as rivals, which is how you read it; he was saying that Nottingham Forrest has won Europe, and yet is not remembered as being better than Man City. So Montreal, by extension, won't necessarily be remembered forever as better than TFC.
Jesus. Take a second and think about what he's saying before you "help him out".
Question(s): If the impact win do they automatically qualify for next years tournament? And if so does that mean the Canadian Championship doesn't mean anything this year?
Ya I'm supporting the Canadian Club in the CONCACAF Champions League.
This is being made out to be more complex than it is.
I'll root for any amazing thing in sports, really. This would be an amazing thing.
