Get ready to party tomorrow night, U-Sector!

The final Nutrilite Canadian Championship match versus Vancouver Whitecaps will give everyone in the stadium the rare chance to watch a completely stress-free Cup game in which the outcome really doesn’t matter.

On To The Next One

Vancouver Whitecaps fans (and organization): Be careful what you wish for.

Last year, it seemed that everyone connected to the Whitecaps was whining high and low about the Montreal Impact “bending over” for Toronto in last year’s final Nutrilite Canadian Championship match.

Montreal was, as you all well know, already eliminated from Voyageurs Cup contention heading into that match, and decided to rest some regulars ahead of a crucial league game against those same Vancouver Whitecaps only two days later.

TFC at Vancouver: Pros and Cons

Well, that was ugly.

In what hopefully will be the most forgettable TFC performance of the season, Toronto held on for dear life to scratch out a 0-0 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps.

You could tell before kickoff that this one wasn’t going to be a classic. The pre-match weather forecast called for gale-force winds and possible thundershowers that threatened to postpone the match. Toronto’s starting line-up included names like Jon Conway, who had yet to play a single minute for TFC this year, along with recent dog house dweller Raivis Hscanovics. Julian de Guzman was out again, replaced by 18-year-old wrecking ball Amadou Sanyang. Even everyone’s new favourite Red Chad Barrett saw himself pinned to the bench to start the match, with a still-hobbled O’Brian White – who sat out Saturday’s match at LA with an ankle ailment – taking his place up top.

Just win, baby!

Fans of the Vancouver Whitecaps are mired in all sorts of mathematical permutations that would see their team win the 2010 Nutrilite Canadian Championship. With Vancouver currently sitting five points below Toronto with three matches left to play, a host of different possibilities present themselves.

For TFC fans, the answer is simple: Win.

On a night when everyone in Montreal will be cheering for a team in red, that city’s newest major league club will be attempting to finally defeat a different one.

Toronto FC – who sources say will ditch the grey kits for its primary red – has never lost to the Montreal Impact. Many of us take great pleasure in reminding their fans of that fact.

Well that was fun, wasn’t it?

If there is such a thing as a temporary cure for any ill that TFC (both club and supporters) is feeling, a match versus the Montreal Impact is certainly it.

The rivalry between fans is hot, the games are chippy, and TFC is undefeated against the Impact. Wednesday’s game followed suit, with a dogfight of a match that resulted in numerous cards, a lot of bad blood, and two goals for the good guys.

Pre-Game: Who plays?

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 15 Comments

The 2010 Nutrilite Canadian Championship kicks off tomorrow evening at BMO Field, and the biggest question on the minds of TFC fans is, “who plays?”

No one knows the importance that Preki places on this event, and no one will until shortly before kickoff.

Toronto supporters, of course, relish this tournament. The Voyageurs Cup competition has resonated with this fan base, much more so than the average, run-of-the-mill MLS match.

Perhaps the fact that a real rivalry with Montreal (the city) existed long before either TFC or the Impact ever kicked a ball in anger helps fuel the passion, a rivalry that doesn’t really exist with opposing MLS cities. That the civic rivalry translated onto the field of play, backed by rather large fan bases that genuinely dislike one another, really comes as no surprise.

The Score’s Kristian Jack sat down with former TFC striker Ali Gerba, discussing Gerba’s time with the club, his controversial release, Director of Soccer Mo Johnston, new head coach Preki, and the general feeling of Toronto FC’s much talked about locker room.

Watch the interview, and draw your own conclusions.

Club vs. Country, TFC style

Yesterday the CSA finally announced what every hardcore Canadian soccer supporter had long known, that its men’s national team would be taking on powerhouse Argentina in Buenos Aires on May 25.

Somehow, little Canada got chosen as the opponent for Lionel Messi and company’s final preparatory match prior to jetting off to South Africa for the World Cup. In fact, the match will also headline Argentina’s bicentenary celebration.

Apparently, Toronto FC is the biggest collection of morons in the history of world sport, for (possibly) donning a star above its crest in commemoration of last year’s Nutrilite Canadian Championship win.

So says repeat Canada-baiter Bill Archer, who apparently hates all things Canuck so much that he finds the time to laboriously pore through every piece of available information on us in order to feel better about being a Crew supporter. All supporters of the Columbus Crew are supposed to hate all thing Canadian soccer, especially the stuff emanating from Hades’ lair also known as Southern Ontario, in case you weren’t completely up to speed.
