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.

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.

Changes coming in the Voyageurs Cup?

Amid all of the hullabaloo about the Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact possibly playing in a brand new American second division next year, their former (and possibly future) league has let loose that it may be adding two more Canadian franchises to its ever-fluctuating fold, possibly as early as 2010.

The USL has indicated that interested investors from Edmonton and Ottawa may land teams in its First Division within the next two years, effectively replacing (or joining) the disgruntled Whitecaps and Impact as the Canadian flagbearers of USL-1.
