Vancouver is coming into this game in pretty good form while Montreal has been struggling a bit of late.  Coupled with home field advantage, I think Vancouver wins their third trophy.

GA section is apparently sold out. We'll see how the rest of the stadium does. 24k last year.

But Vancouver has dressed the bulk of their starters 4 times in the last 2 weeks already, giving them no rest because Vanni doesn't have a clue about squad rotation. He's going to put out a team where a number of them looked exhausted on the weekend and he still played them 90.

Also, the team will have Teibert on it, and that's a great equalizer for anyone.

Vancouver is the better team, on MLS form. But they will have to dress at least 3 players (3 Canadians) that aren't part of their best XI. I'm expecting a very even match.

Maybe Vanni will make 3 subs about 2 minutes in…

What does ZBG need to do to get a game….?

I predict the Vancouver plays their 3 Canadians less than 180 minutes tn.

Odds of that are just a touch worse than the sun rising tomorrow.

My wife perked up at that one.

Holy shit Sirois.  Wow 

[El Hombre]

Ummm...Sirois?

[Cheeta]

Holy crap.  All 'keepers need to spend a couple of years in Winnipeg.

Walking the streets really helps with the peripheral vision.

Herrera really not impressing this game in that position.

[Cheeta]

Ouch.

[El Hombre]

I really think Waterman is an underrated defender.  He didn't make the CNL team, but I wouldn't have been mad if he had.

[Cheeta]

Yikes.   

Man, 'Caps might rue the missed opportunities this half.  Still a bit to go but damn.

[SoccMan]

So our national Cup game and guys are calling the game from Toronto off of a tv screen . Are there no flights to Vancouver? Moreover , the only guy actually there is Platt ? I can understand if say Sportsnet or TSN showing this game and not having anyone actually there, but this is a dedicated Canadian soccer app , channel whatever you want to call it and yet treated this game like just another game , a bit disappointing in my opinion .

It's got that feeling, hasn't it?

For that matter, the way the Montreal keeper is playing, I don't want to see this game go to penalties either.

 

[Cheeta]

Montreal really has to get something going.

Too late.
