A 1-0 win at home and it's 'bring on the Americans working in Toronto' time.

I'm not sure if that's a pointed comment or not, looking at Montreal's roster ... Toronto played 5 Canadians last night, compared to 3 for Montreal.

On this board, it’s cool for teams to be filled with foreigners but only if those foreigners aren’t American.

Well if we are splitting hairs, both started 3, TFC pulled 1 CDN for another, and subbed osorio for an extra 30min or so eh?  Montral had 3, pulled one for the last 20min.  Not a big difference, and like someone posted before, not enough for either team.  Follow that suggestion and make it 5 starters for next year, make it more of a level playing field and more "canadian".

I'm not sure how making two unequal teams "equal" makes it more Canadian ... though perhaps it does ...

Perhaps the best way to make it equal, is to restrict the competition to teams in the top league only, and go back to the original 3-team format.

Montreal are rotating their squad. They plan on using full strength at Spruce Meadows
