Translation of the relevant bits:

The Impact will begin the defense of its Canadian club championship and will also seek the privilege of begin the Canadian representative in the CONCACAF Champions League, when they meet Toronto FC at BMO stadium, Wednesday May 13th, four days aver the curtain rises on the season in USL-1. The Reds will battle in the return leg at Saputo Stadium, Wednesday June 17th.

As for the series against the Whitecaps, the confrontations will be a week apart, with the first leg in Montreal on May 20th, and the return match in Vancouver on May 27th.

Here's hoping that the 'Caps play TFC at home on June 3rd. That'll mean I can see the 'Caps-TFC in the Cup and 'Caps-Impact in the league a few days apart while I'm home for the week. I'm passing through TO on June 10th, but doubt the wife will be willing to detour to watch a football match.

If the 'Caps play TFC on the 3rd and 10th, it's going to be very hard on them. They play in Portland on the 30th of May and host the Impact on the 7th of June and Miami on the 12th. One way or another, they're looking at a trip out to TO for a midweek game sandwiched between to home dates. From a 'Caps perspective, it'll probably be better to host TFC on June 3rd and play the return at BMO on Sunday, June 14th. It'll mean playing in Vancouver on Friday night and Toronto on Sunday, but with a game in Montreal the following weekend, at least they wouldn't have to criss-cross the country.

In case you haven't noticed, V Cup games are midweek games.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that those will likely fall on June 3rd and 10th.

Also on the CSA site is news the Nutrilite has agree to sponsor the Canadian championship (Voyageurs Cup) for another 3 years. No news of Canadian participation in the CONCACAF club championship beyond 2009-10 but regardless it looks like the Voyageurs Cup will go on.

The Canadian entry gets the largest crowd for a Champions League game in 2008-09. I would say that spot in the CCC is a lock.

Just curious about the schedule after. I know they put the dates ahead to move the whole competition ahead, but do they intend to get a preliminary round or even another in before the Gold Cup? Will they actually play Concacaf Champions during Gold Cup, or immediately after?

If anyone knows the sched I'd appreciate it.
