SoccMan Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Good game some exciting end to end soccer . A deserving win by the Impact and this coming from me a TFC season ticket holder since day one and still a TFC season ticket holder. However, the Voyageurs final needs to be on regular TV and maybe even the semis . Out of sight out of mind. Just imagine if a CPL team had been in the final and this game being shown on some obscure App what a missed opportunity that would have been for the CPL. Moreover, again remember I’m a big TFC fan , but that non penalty call against TFC when as we saw on the replay TFC’s Auro clearly handles the ball is a reason why you need VAR, if the Impact go on to lose that game that non call would have been big . dyslexic nam and Moldy9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Can't say that I'm overly beat up about the loss. TFC had won three Cups in a row, and frankly if they had won this time it always would have felt somewhat tainted by that ridiculous format of giving them a bye all the way into the Semi-final round. I really hope they change the format for next year. TFC paid the price for only having one striker on their roster who can reliably score - Altidore probably had his worst game for TFC other than that game last year where he got a red card about 4 minutes into a must-win game. The Impact, all but mathematically out of MLS, made the wise move of resting their key offensive players rather than flying them to LA & back. TFC can't afford to do that as they have no reliable back up plan for Altidore - he looked gassed the entire game and was off his game and there was no plan B for a guy who could come off the bench. Mullins doesn't cut it for me as a #2 option, and I thought that was the case even before his horrible PK attempt tonight which reminded me of a 10 year old house league player taking a PK for the first time, not having a clue of how to take one properly and just blasting it quickly without looking or knowing where it was going rather than properly placing it). I hope Altidore plays like that against Canada on the 15th, but chances are they don't even take him to the Cayman Islands ahead of the game against us. jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can repeat in October!!! Fixed. The Impact are no more Canadian than TFC. They're just less American (which I guess is all it takes to appease people on here). Good on them for holding on for the win, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Has to be said these Vs Cup finals are almost always dramatic finishes. Kind of surprising this is the 1st time it's gone to penalty kicks. Maybe it wouldn't have had there been an overtime period. All three MLS sides winning the tourney in the last 5 years. Good.

With a quota of 4 at least it would be guaranteed there would be at least one Canadian still on the pitch in the CANADIAN Championship!

I am never going to be convinced Mullins is a better option than Hamilton was, Vanney sure seems to think so and I guess that's all that matters!

Ansem Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Too bad season ticket holders dont care about that point. That's why TFC will continue down that path. I dont want to hear that MLS academies are the "creme de la creme" anymore. Can't have it both ways with bragging and being utterly incapable of playing more guys at that level that you produces.

The issue at hand is TFC pulling Canadians and finishing the game with 1 canadian...and still losing in a Canadian Championship of all places. I dont think anyone's giving Montreal a medal for starting 3 Canadians but pulling Canadians like they were last night by TFC was cynical... It's really irrelevant from where the balance of the team are from, what matters is more Canadians playing in that tournament. Are you against increasing the Canadian quota in the Canadian Championship. Yes or no or without calling people hypocrites. If no, why?

Are you against increasing the Canadian quota in the Canadian Championship. Yes or no or without calling people hypocrites. If no, why? So you’d be cool with TFC had they won last night while making the exact same squad moves? Since that’s “the issue” you seem to have. Coaches are free to do what they wish with their lineups as long as the rules are being obeyed, and that’s how it should be. TFC’s justification for replacing the fullbacks was because they were being asked to push the pace all game long, which makes sense from a tactical standpoint. I probably would’ve started Shaffelburg, but that just comes down to personal preference as I think he can wear down IMFC’s old RB. I’d love to see more Canadians in the tournament, but the current quota is what it is right now. Given that the CSA’s definition of a Canadian is far more stringent than CanPL’s from a roster standpoint, I’m not sure adopting those rules for the Canadian Championship is necessarily a good thing at the moment. And yes, anyone who decries TFC’s lack of Canadians while letting IMFC skate on the issue is a hypocrite. But I know... Toronto bad, everywhere else good.
