EXPANSION: Vancouver or Montreal Announcement Today?
Montreal. When you have a guy like Gilette involved, it makes sense for MLS.
if it's Montreal, it would be one hell of a week for them
Frankly, I hope it's MTL because that would set up a mouth-watering derby.
Even better would be if they replace (rather than expand) one of the bottom-feeders like kc or columbus who cant get shit when it comes to support
kinda negates this story

somebody on Voyageurs said the premier of BC was gonna be at the all-star game... which made people wonder if he's just there to talk up Vanny for MLS or there to sit behind the table when they announce the team.
I can't see an announcement BEFORE the game tho.. leagues don't like to upstage their events in this way.
I think they'd announce it before rather than after. This year the NBA announced their plan to potentially expand into Europe and make a European conference/division, and they announced this before the game.
admittedly, it would be an appropriate time to announce a canadian team.
give it to Vancouver rather than those inbreds we saw last night
Prefer Montreal (even tho i despise those bastards with all my heart, I hate them like i hate columbus). But i think its going to be Vancouver.
IF this happens at all...
Steve Nash said he had a special All-Star announcement... he's from Vancouver.
mls rumors? did they ever get anything right?
ya but vanny fucked us over in this Cup by rolling over and playing DEAD against Montreal and then actually coming to play against TFC. cunts.Originally Posted by TFC Cityboy
at least we didn't lose a game to Montreal.... so I say let in montreal first.
It has to be Montreal. They have everything in place. If they choose a 60,000 stadium in BC Place over a SSS in Stade Saputo, a lot of people will be pissed.
Montreal for 2009... Plus Seattle... Single Table, 16 teams.. that would be amazing.
This league would take off !!!
Give it to Montreal! They deserve it and i can't wait to fuck'em really good in league games!!
The annaouncemenst should come today.
Montreal promoted to the MLS
and
Toronto Fc should be derulated to the USL.
What a joke , we took 5 out of a possible 12 points from the USL team.
Thanks Carver - You moron
Thats just jumping on the "hate MLS rumors" band wagon. They've gotten plenty right.
or a serious inquiry. i would love for you to name a few things they got right because i cant come up with anything
I say Montreal and Vancouver.
Montreal, with Gillette backing.
Vancouver, with a SSS and Steve Nash backing.
Demoted? Relegated?
Spurs/Arsenal, Liverpool/Everton, Wolves/West Brom, Galatasary/Fenerbahce...those are derbies. I get your point, but can a five-hour drive be called a derby?
It would certainly be great and would become a "rivalry".
whatever it is,
both of them. All I know is that they shouldn't be in the MSl. TFC should be playing the likes of the Toronto Lynx, Toronto Croatia, Toronto Italia etc.
I'm fairly certain these teams would give us a run for our money.
right....oh logic how it gets lost

Hah! For the real deal, you have to check out MLS Rumors Rumors. Our insiders' poll (open to the public, natch) shows Throgs Neck, NY as the leading candidate for the next expansion side. If Don Garber's sister's hairdresser's bartender said it, you know it's true.
And there is this...............
According to a Vancouver radio station, Toronto FC may soon be getting some Canadian company in the MLS.
The TEAM 1040 is reporting that MLS Comissioner Don Garber will lift the original ceiling of 18 franchises and announce Thursday a new expansion plan of not less than 20 and up to 24 franchises by 2013-2014.

"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
^ wow... 24 teams??!!
if that's the case the Montreal and Vancouver would surely be in there...
I would love to see both of them join!
Great news if it happens. It can only help soccer in Canada.
24 teams is just stupid. Max 18-20.
Instead they should be looking to implement a deal with USL re promotion/relegation.
i'll be;eive when I hear it from the commissioner himself
