jonovision Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Grande is the man. The defense is competent at playing the ball out of trouble (I'm actually quite a bit more impressed with their tackling) but even Braz looks to make the short pass to Grande, who always does the right thing, instead of thumping it 50 yards up the field, into the 10th row.

jonovision Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Cheeta Montreal 1-nil, wow. The crowd at Olympic Stadium, wow. I'm impressed. The turf at Olympic Stadium, wow. It's crap. Santos Laguna's defending, wow. It's also crap. Is it just me or does Montreal look like they're growing in confidence with every kick of the ball? And, I think the Impact can thank their lucky stars for the ref'ing crew. A favourable selection me-thinks. The turf looks bad, but I don't think it has affected the game as negatively as bad turf at Saputo did vs Honduras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh, Joqueviel has huge balls for dribbling that one play out of the back. That was Puyol esque! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadasBest Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 lol. Both goals set up by Roberto Brown. Neither of which were great passes but both goals stepped up by Sobrango... 2-0! Way to go Impact. Now don't let LS score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSwede Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Stayed up real late tonight but it was well worth it. As it was said on the blog the 24th Minute, we may just be entering into a golden era of Canadian Soccer. Just great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. I absolutely agree! I think this game will be a real turning point for Canadian club soccer, and by extension Canadian soccer in general. I just hope that Montreal makes it to the semis as that will have Montreals clamouring for tickets, and I think that game will sell out in days. This has also ramped up the importance of the coming Voyageurs' Cup series. You can't tell me that the TFC folks aren't thinking "damn, we could have put 50,000+ into Skydome. What a great night to be a fan of Canadian soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Richard Well done Montreal Impact, you were the better team today without doubt. Good luck next Thursday. OI! Your doctor know you're watching this match?! Have to say I agree with JDV and Reed, if Sabrango doesn't score all the goals in a 2-nil match Joqueviel gets MOTM. He was a monster out there. Rust or no rust, I think Montreal continues to surprise everyone they draw against with their tactical maturity. The discipline and smarts. This team has their head around the ball. No doubt about it. When they're in-season I can only imagine. HA! Gotta order a shirt while their still in stock! P.S. Montreal. What can you say? Well done.
