I hope the Whitecaps pull it off tonight, just because I'd like to see a new team with the Voyageurs Cup. But I'm curious for the other Montreal and Edmonton supporters and neutrals who are people generally supporting?

As much as I adore the fact that Toronto teams refuse to work overtime by ending their seasons at the earliest date possible, I am pulling for them.

I would love to see them go deep again this year while going 0-34 in the league.

Then win Concacaf Champions League and off to the Club World Cup as the "Worst Team with the Best Dream"

LOL. I'm quite sure I'd piss my pants (repeatedly) whilst laughing as TFC dropped league fixture after league fixture and collected the scalps of MLS and Mexican giants in CONCACRAP Champions League play and get rewarded with a multi-million dollar payday and unprecedented world wide exposure. THAT would be magically bizarre.

Might save Winter's job too. Might...

You sir, win a cookie.

I'll be supporting TFC like I always do...

But in all honesty (cue the haters), if Rennie bizarrely decides to field both Teibert, Clark and Alderson, I'd be inclined to actually support the Whitecaps for this ONE match.

I think it would be better for Canadian soccer to see these young players, potentially gain experience in CONCACAF. Technically, TFC would likely still have more "Canadian content", but lets face it, De Guzman, Cann and Dunfield are past their prime. The only real benefit for the Canadian program is if Henry, Morgan and Stinson all got playing time.

With the apparent disunity in TFC's locker room, I'm not sure it is the best environment to be developing under.

Of course, Rennie will likely field a strong side and would not include the three home grown players in the line-up.

JDG and Le Toux having a contest to see who's the bigger idiot.

I don't understand professional soccer players, shut up, just shut up, all of you. And don't go plead your case after you've got a card, it won't change anything, just shut up.

At least for the Caps. We looked totally gassed and not much in the tank out there tonight. Just didn't have it on the passing front. Way too many long balls and not enough work in the middle. TFC just don't look like 0-9-0 bottom dwellers in their 4 V's Cup games.

Congrats. See ya next year.

Hell, I thought it was great fun. I mean that in all sincerity. Bit o' vinegar to put some bite into what was a pretty bland affair. With all the talk coming from TFC's players the past week (and more) you had to expect something like this was coming from that club.

And like it or not I think you have to admit the match improved after the red cards. Bit more elbow room out there seems to have helped things. That or the fact Toronto ratcheted things up and Vancouver wilting in the face of it. Or maybe Le Toux's absence put a spanner in the 'Caps gears but whichever way watching how the collective emotions of each team play itself out tonight was entertainment enough.

So far the Caps have had no luck at all in this tourney. Either they get robbed by outside results or find themselves (for a number of reasons) not at their best when they most need to be.

Anyway, good luck making those league playoffs, Whitecaps. Congratulation Reds. And Allez les Rouges.

I wish you could have seen Cannon on TV during the last few seconds of the game. He was all over the pitch ... thought he was going to tackle a TFC player near the half-way line. But looking at the replay, they missed it entirely. You'd have been proud of him.
