We just have to beat montreal, we just gotta

i can see TFC doing well if we win

[FluSH]

Man!

We need to score those 4 goals... we HAVE to...

Cruz Azul!
Saprissa!
Our Step-Child Columbus Crew!

This has rivalry matchups written all over...

[InTheCrowd]

I'm sure we'll defeat Montreal 4-0! Keep the faith........

[SmokedPanda]

6-0 next thursday for the TFC.... we got this!

[Lennon]

Oh man ... TFC vs. Colubmus in champs league ... that would be so epic ...

Get Gerba signed in time for the Montreal game !!!

[Kickit09]

I'm sure we'll defeat Montreal 4-0! Keep the faith........

not with barrett and vitti starting. they have combined for 2 goals in 25 games. at that rate they will need 75 games to score 6 goals combined. and those are our starting strikers...so sad.

[InTheCrowd]

Oh man ... TFC vs. Colubmus in champs league ... that would be so epic ...

Get Gerba signed in time for the Montreal game !!!

I have no idea about this, but would Gerba be alowed to compete if we signed him before the Montreal game?

Yes, let's remember, Montreal has collapsed in big games before.

[rocker]

Yes, let's remember, Montreal has collapsed in big games before.

ya what was it, 5 goals in one game?

yer never out of it against Montreal

[bertal]

it's a tall order

[Lennon]

Yes, let's remember, Montreal has collapsed in big games before.

Yea but we're not Santos and this time Montreal is at home ...

Having said that ... I still believe

[zeelaw]

OMG Columbus!

We have to win now... we just have too!

[profit89]

Great pairings if tfc qualifies. I doubt it though.. 4 goals. Barrett is our striker.

[icecoldbeer]

Can we change our name to Santos Toronto FC for vs. Montreal then?

[FluSH]

Both Cruz Azul and Saprissa are HUGE clubs... winning against either of these teams would bring so much joy to my life... seriously =P

[James17930]

You know what's going to happen:

We're going to win 3 - 0 in Montreal.

Mark my words.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

I have no idea about this, but would Gerba be alowed to compete if we signed him before the Montreal game?

he should be able too...but can we get him signed before then?

hmmmm... this should be interesting REAL soon.

[nascarguy]

road trp to Puerto

[TFC 420]

road trp to Puerto

Now you're thinkin'

[TFC07]

TFC needs to score 5 goals to win Canadian championship?

[SilverSamurai]

ya what was it, 5 goals in one game?

yer never out of it against Montreal

It was like 3 goals in the last 3-4 mins.
It was baaad. It was as if the team had a melt down of epic fail proportions.

I think Santos was even down a man...(might be confused with that though)

[SilverSamurai]

TFC needs to score 5 goals to win Canadian championship?

4 and we're in.

[Redpunkfiddle]

4 and we're in.

To be clear we need to win by 4. That includes such appealing possibilities as 5-1, 6-2, and 12-8.

I look at this draw and am numb. Saprissa. Cruz Azul. Incredible opportunities. I can't feel it.

All I have on my mind is that little bit of hope that we can dominate Montreal like the last game, except we score all the goals we might have.

[Bobo]

not with barrett and vitti starting. they have combined for 2 goals in 25 games. at that rate they will need 75 games to score 6 goals combined. and those are our starting strikers...so sad.

LOL! As funny as it is sad.

[Mojo]

Even if we beat this USL team, theres no way in hell we're gonna beat a USL team in CONCACAF.

[Shway]

We Have To Believe...!!!

I Would Definately Do The Puerto Trip
All The Pretty Woman

[Toronto Ruffrider]

Puerto Rico will be a tough opponent for either Vancouver or Toronto. There are no chump teams from Belize or Nicaragua this time around.

[twistedchinaman]

Montreal then Puerto Rico and then on to kicking Columbus in the balls on a North American level.

Hoo, it gives me the willies.

CARN YOU REDS!!!!

[thrillgill]

You know what's going to happen:

We're going to win 3 - 0 in Montreal.

Mark my words.

yeah..... either that or MTL will score on a penalty in the 93rd minute from a Wynne handball to make it 4-1.
