Ex-boss Leiweke cheering from afar

“I’m watching the fans. I’ve never seen a group suffer more or pay a higher price or hang in there when they shouldn’t have. They’ve earned it. That makes me the happiest.”

[Oldtimer]

I would be very happy to see a Toronto/Seattle final at BMO field.

We need to put that on the back of the 'Started at the bottom' shirt.

Yup...

Dominic Oduro quote "I’m not trying to put words out there, but I think we have a very good team and our chances of beating Toronto are very high.”

Haha....that is pretty overconfident words. I know he has to talk with confidence when talking it up to the media but really....chances of beating Toronto are VERY high? C'mon let's be realistic a bit.

I cannot hate that guy. Even when he's trying to be overconfident he sounds nice. So many ex players would have a go.

Yeah I don't have any issue with him. Plays with passion for whatever team he is on. Definitely can't fault him for that.

Where is the cup final being played this year?

Where is the cup final being played this year?

Highest seeded team in the final.

If its against Colorado, then its there for all teams.

The only one that cant host it is Montreal, as they are the lowest seeded team.

Colorado vs Toronto or Montreal - in Colorado
Seattle vs Montreal - in Seattle
Seattle vs Toronto - in Toronto

My prediction...Toronto is in MLS Cup final but plays it in Colorado. I don't know how Colorado made it so far but I think they find a way to sneak by Seattle. The games I have watched Colorado play were not that great and the defense looks alright but the final third attacking seems pretty weak. They had 23 of their regular season games end with 0-0 tie, 1-1 tie, 1-0 win and 1-0 loss. Not exactly an offensive powerhouse but are good at holding games to a 1 goal difference or a deadlock.

And Tim Howard may win for them again in the PKs...

I think they do have a very good and realistic chance of winning. They always play well in Toronto, and can beat us here. They're not scared because they know this. They absolutely can win in Toronto. In reverse, we can do the same in Montreal. As stupid as the away goal rule is, it really could come down to that. Both teams could say and feel that their chances of moving on are very high.

The problem is Montreal are made to play against our style.
Having said that i think the best chance we have to win the tie is to go there and score away goals. Get a 2-2 or lose 2-1 by dominating the game and occasionally getting suckered on the break. If they catch us on the break first we can hope for a score loss or a score draw. If we should score first than i think we could win the first leg.

Piatti-Mancuso-Oduro with a Drogba "joker" is a really efficient front group for them.
