2009 V-Cup prediction thread

Since Vancouver is clearly rebuilding and

Re-tooling.

The turnover is for improvement. Rebuilding suggests low expectations. Expectations by the club for the squad they are putting together is pretty high, probably higher then what Vancouver fans expect. Definitely not a rebuild.

no sense in even trying to predict. anyone can win this thing. i dont think even any southsiders predicted the Whitecaps win in Toronto last year.

this tourny has nothing to do with names on paper, or reputation, or even your current league form or your overall skills. The Vs cup is won by whoever wants it more. Whoever cares the most. Whoever happens to have the most hustle on a given day.

The young players on the Caps will be hungry, so I don't count them out. Montreal has a better backline and better keeping that TFC, no doubt, and they have the best and smartest coach in Canada.

This will be close, and will come down to the last game in MTL.

There seems to be two of these threads going, but this is the original.

If Teitur got better league results from Caps than John from Impact, and if Caps knocked out Impact, if Caps won the league Impact is in, doing better than a concachampions quarter finalist, then who is the better coach?

Sort of an Adam delved and Eve spanned question ain't it?

Mods, can we merge this thread with http://thevoyageurs.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18854 ?

They are both the same topic.

Key for the Impact is a good result at BMO to start cause the Caps won't have Sebrango this year to put a dagger in TFC's heart so we can't rely on them for any help.

EDDIEEEEEEEEE SEBRANGOOOOO OUUUUU AHHHHH I WANNA KNOWWWWWWW HOWWWW U SCORED THAT GOALLLLLLL

In any handicap of the V cup you have to look at the TFC lack of experience in any big games, and that really gives the advantage to the Impact in terms of experience and ability to harness a desire to win.

TFC under the Mo and Jo duality have little real emotion and precious little big game experience in the recent past.

So, I would rank Montreal over TFC in the home and home, MTL versus Whitecaps.. I would think Sebrango will want to make some statements to the Van fans and the cabel that has ignored him for national team duty so give a split perhaps but Montreal on points.

I still think MOntreal is going to go after the Laguna scientifico as loan player, this summer.

I can just see him ripping the TFC defence.

Nothing wrong with showing some love for your team, even if i think your predictions are crazy. []
