Soccerpro Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Montreal are playing really well tonight. They're fast up front and their defence is rock solid. I'm really impressed that they're controlling the game early on in Columbus. In my opinion, they are best Canadian MLS team by quite a bit right now.

ThiKu Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 "best Canadian MLS team by quite a bit right now." Which is fine and wonderful for MTL, but meaningless overall. Great for their fans! But in the end all that need be observed is the standings at the end of the year. Although I am a Vancouver fan of course, I am thrilled MTL is playing well. It's good news for all of us!

Red and White Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 They're playing great, but they need a goal badly. Columbus is right behind them in the standings, with a couple of games in hand. I'm not sure if a draw is good enough tonight. I'm not taking anything away from the Impact though. They've been really fun to follow this year. If everything stays on track, they should be a formidable side next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red and White Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 There it is, 1-0. Di Viao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn_strat Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Losing 2-1, I think they are done for this year, or they need to win the last five games. They have three more away games, so I don't think that's going to happen. But they had a great year for an expansion team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 They MUST win in Chicago. The Chicago match is the end point. They lose that, season is definitely over. Too much mystery to how fixtures will finish in MLS, that honestly the league is open till the last weekend. In this case, however, I'd say if they lose in Chicago they are totally done. They should have finished tonight with 3 points after Di Vaio's goal but they failed to control the midfield in the last 15 minutes. Bernier seemed burnt by halftime, which isn't a good sign for Friday vs. Panama. Wonder if Hart will re-evaluate his involvement in the game next week.

I think it was hot out there tonight - and a tough away loss. Seems like 4 or 5 games where Montreal have lost the three points in the final 10 minutes + added time. But hey, Colombus is also a great team right now. In fact, I'd say they are looking very dangerous for the playoffs and all round better than DC, Chicago and even Red Bulls. Things are wide open in the east I'd say. Friday weather should be more favorable for the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
