    The treble is domestic league, domestic cup and continental trophy (think Man U's in '99).

    Because of the overlapping schedule of MLS and CCL, for us, the next available one would be:

    2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League (April)
    2010 Voyageurs Cup (July)
    2010 MLS Cup (November)
    Optional quadruple: 2010 World Club Cup (December)

    Imagine culminating the perfect calendar year with a World Club Cup win in December?

    That would also effectively mean two straight Voyageurs Cups.

    We could win a treble with any three tournaments, including Supporters' Shield and Superliga (equivalent of the UEFA Cup now that teams can't be in both CCL and Superliga).

    In that same light, the double would be MLS Cup and Voyageurs Cup.

    A
    double would be any two tournaments, arguably including the Trillum Cup and the Pan-Pacific Championship.

    i find myself getting sucked into it. i don't know why, but it's hard not to watch.

    what's more crazy, is the audience at dart comps.

    Bringing this back now that Montreal could win a double. I looked at the history of US/Canada's treble here - nobody from Canada or the US has won it yet; the US' few Champions' Cup wins never coincided with an MLS Cup (or even SS) win. If Montreal were to somehow win this edition of the CCL, they could go for a treble next year with the Voyageurs Cup/MLS Cup in 2014.

    the traditional way of looking at it would be:

    - domestic (voyagers cup)
    - national (MLS cup or supporters shield)
    - international (champions league)


    i enjoy the TFC version, it's far more attainable:

    - disney open
    - trillium cup
    - a playoff berth

    ahaha yes. I'd take a Trillium Cup, Voyageurs Cup and playoff spot. That would be a dream season, along with CCL advancement would make the manager an instant legend

    There's a possible quadruple in England too. League, FA Cup, League Cup, European competition. Cup competition winners qualify for Europa League, just like how we qualify for CCL through Voyageurs Cup, but we could also qualify through league standings too, just like in England.

    Three away wins, three wins in a row, and three straight clean sheets, the TFC treble.

    TFC (Also VWFC and IMFC) can't qualify for the CCL through the league standings, those spots are awarded by the USSF and only go to US teams.

    Meh... Supporters Shield is nice but it really means fuck all if you don't win the MLS Cup.... especially to the average fan.

    Someone make sure this man is seated, before breaking the big news.

    ** * **

    Sadly, the Trillium Cup will soon be a defunct contest, as we bid farewell to our provincial/state-flower brethren (interestingly enough, our area codes are the same, when reversed; 416 & 614).

    We should win the last instalment, and then, as a show of camaraderie, let the Crew fans keep it (because, who wants that clunky thing knocking around, anyway?).

    Really hope the league doesn't try to replace this, by adding a trophy for us and Montréal to compete for. >.>

    Seems like the place to mention how great it was seeing Danny and Dero lead the parade Monday. You could see it meant something to them, and to us.

    (I wonder if Dero had a Celtic kit on under his TFC stuff....)

    Voyagers Cup, Trillium Cup, Shield, MLS Cup

    Hey @flatpicker - you seem to be good with the predictions - who's going to win the Stanley Cup, World Series and MLS Cup in 9 years?

    Lol
    I’ve never seen myself quoted from so long ago. You think I was good with predictions then? Imagine how good I am now as a much older and wiser man!

    In 9 years the Stanley Cup will be won by Hamilton, the World Series by Manchester, and MLS Cup by Detroit.
    Yup, there’s gonna be a lot of expansion in the coming years.
