Does anyone have any updates on Piette's condition? It seems a long stretch to be out from an ankle injury.

[canuckgbp]

They love taking risks with the passing from the back eh. 

[jonovision]

Camacho is a problem.

[jonovision]

Well shit. Camacho and Miller get lost leaving Johnston against 2.

I think this tie is finished, Montreal gives up a very sloppy goal after having a good bit of play, this team isn't very good!

[narduch]

Cruz Azul lead 1-0 at the half.

Montreal need to score 3 to advance

He has no other option aside from Zouhir who was the same problem, and creates less offense.

[Big_M]

he does...miljevic mihailovic wanyama were great together and there are a couple others on tonights sheet who can play there

[jonovision]

Ugh, Miljevic in. The first footballer I've seen that seems allergic to running.

[narduch]

Montreal out after a 1-1 draw.

With a bit of finishing Montreal could have made this interesting, I thought Miller and Breza had good games which is encouraging from a CMNT perspective!

Miljevic sucks.  Haven't seen him do a fucking thing this year and he's played in every game.

[Big_M]

was very good vs nyc and even tonight when he came on did good things including a great through ball to quioto for a breakaway...better on both sides of the ball than kone zouhir...

That was Mihailovic's ball to Quioto, no?  I never see Miljevic do anything overly positive if i'm honest.

[Big_M]

was miljevic

I was at the game, good crowd... I thought Miller was the best Montreal player, he's progressed very well...It's to be expected but there was way too much time wasting and obvious feigning injury by Cruz Azul. Horrible ref... Having said that, the better team went through.
