Let's do this! I want this win soooo bad!
Scouting:
Montreal @ Portland
--------------Perkins
-Camara-Nesta-Ferrari-Brovsky
-------------Bernier
Nyassi--Martins--Arnaud--Pisanu
-------------Di Vaio
-Montreal is 1st in Eastern Conference with 2 away wins at Seattle and Portland to start the season.
-They've also had the 'advantage' of playing in 2 turf fields
-Schillabaum has instilled a sense of belief in Montreal, evident by their character in away wins.
-Montreal plays on the counter, using Bernier's passing as the outlet. May be more aggressive at home.
-Montreal's set piece has improved, both on attack and defend, a key weakness last season.
Key players:
-Marco di Vaio: Not only he can score, but he's got vision to bring his teammates into play. Underrated passer
-Felipe Martins: Potential to be MLS MVP. Is learning to be a box to box mid.
-Alessandro Nesta: So far, his legs are holding up to MLS play. And Montreal defence is hard to break down with him leading.
