Voyageurs Cup Final discussion, Wed Aug 26 10PM

[Oldtimer]

OK, no love lost here on either the Whitecraps or the Limp Act, but the final is at 10PM tonight. Somehow it feels important to me that Vancouver never wins the VC.


Discussion of the Whitecaps "curse" here:

I feel the same way.

[BuSaPuNk]

Ahhh 6-1 the most amazing road experience ever.

[notthesun]

This is the only scenario in which I could ever cheer for Montreal.

[Mateo1985]

I'd actually want the whitecaps to win. Only because Montreal would have to lose in order for that to happen. Imagine how deflated they will be for a game with us on Saturday if they lose.

[Oldtimer]

I want it to go into overtime with the players getting totally exhausted, followed by 20 PKs wearing out the Goalkeepers. Am I wishing for too much?

Best case scenario indeed

As one of the "younger" fans I really don't understand why we don't want the shitecaps to win, I mean isn't Montreal our primary rival?

Because Vancouver fans and players are annoying AF and we never heard the end of their whining after we beat them in the 2011 final. There's something satisfying about the fact that they've never won it. Montreal have won it numerous times, so them winning it again doesn't change a whole lot in the grand scheme of things whereas Vancouver has never won it, and I'd like to see it stay that way

Cheering for Vancouver. It would suck to lose our lead on most Vcups won. Also would be nice to avoid a repeat of half the forum cheering for Montreal in the Champions League.

Vancouver has never won the Voyageurs cup before...

KEEP THE STREAK ALIVE

Those people would cheer for whatever Canadian team is in the CCL.

[pdubs]

Fuck the shitecaps

[OgtheDim]

Red cards - no injuries.


9 vs 8 into extra time and 30 penalties

[Carts]

2-words......... STADIUM FIRE!

[Redcoe15]

The earth opens and swallows both sides up, thereby giving TFC the Voyageur's Cup and a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League.

They'd make us play Edmonton.

[billyfly]

I hope both of them lose.

[Joe Kool]

I hope both of them lose.

Ditto...what I was thinking.

[TFC07]

Looks like a good turn out in Vancouver.

[OgtheDim]

Well that game is over.

[PopePouri]

So no extra time but I'll take a 10 man Montreal team who has to chase the game.

[Ajax TFC]

I guess we'll just have to win the MLS cup to keep Vancouver fans from thinking their the best in the country

[mistercorporate]

They'd make us play Edmonton.

With F**king Gantar officiating!

Montreal has 9 Voyageurs Cups. Toronto has 4. Until 2007 it was awarded for the highest league standings (all Canadian clubs were in the USL at the time). Though the Toronto Lynx came within 1 point of taking it in 2003, from 2002-2008 Montreal won every time. The nifty carrying case that the Voyageurs Supporters group had made never was used until 2009.

Another personal opinion of support question thread.

The only aspect that troubles me is how much I think of the tourney. I should support the tourney but like every other sport I have a team in, I can't watch while another team goes on to win. My team or nothing. I can't pretend I'm invested or "rooting" another team when mine is out.

Just my opinion and feel free to do the opposite.

That will be my mantra going forward. Until now I was invested in Vancouver's perpetual failure but now that's gone

cosign, just feels dirty watching Montreal and Vancouver play when they cant both lose.

I feel this for all other clubs I support but in the dystopian world of Canadian soccer, I want us to be well represented. Even in MLS play, all Canadian teams are underdogs in, let's face it, an American league.
