Timbers 4 – Impact 0 – We really need a new team.

What can I say about tonight’s game? We didn’t play exceptionally well offensively, thanks to Roberto Brown’s absence, Rocco Placentino not being part of the starting eleven, and Eddie Sebrango being (once again) ineffective. We also didn’t play a stellar game defensively, thanks to the absence of several key players such as Pesoli and Braz [...]

Where teams go to die (or give up 3 points)

We’re facing the Portland Timbers tomorrow. In Portland. I’m not expecting much from Montreal. Not much at all. Portland has given up a grand total of 2 goals at in 6 games at home this season. They’re also undefeated at home this year.
We’ve been doing well as of late (minus the Nutrilite Canadian Championship), with [...]

Call them whatever you want. “Forced-by-USL-to-have-a-nickname-FC”, “Clip Art Logo FC” (that title is also used for FC New York), we’re playing the Miami FC Blues tomorrow. *Yawn* It’s not that Miami is a bad team (though they’re hardly tearing it up in USL-1), it’s just that I can’t get excited for a club that probably [...]

After Thursday’s “The Humiliation” match against Toronto FC (see also: “The Miracle in Montreal” and “The Disgrace”), it was imperative for the Impact to come back with a win. Which he did. That isn’t to say the game was spotless (far from it, even).
This time, head coach Marc Dos Santos fielded a proper team, and [...]

The day after our disgraceful 6-1 loss to Toronto FC, it still stings.
« In the locker room, we lowered our heads. It was all silence. Nobody dared to speak… »
said Leonardo Di Lorenzo, the only player who dared speak to the media.

Here it is: a paper bag.
Seriously folks, after tonight’s game, we really need to consider changing our uniform to that.
Sure, I could try to remind myself that this game didn’t really mean anything to our team. We were already eliminated, and we weren’t going to go all out when we have a game on [...]

Normally, I wouldn’t be so worried about a match that really doesn’t have much importance for the Impact. We’ve already been eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions’ League by not winning the Nutrilite Canadian Championship.
However, this is Montreal, and our opponent eternal rival is Toronto. We owe it to our city, our [...]

A sixth international match has been announced by the Montreal Impact. Saputo and the gang said today that the Impact will face off against Argentina’s River Plate on August 4 at Stade Saputo.
In the past, Montreal has held tryouts in Argentina, so I suppose this match is a natural choice for the Impact. Of course, [...]

I was saying yesterday how there’s a lot to be hopeful for in 2009. Now we have yet another reason to be happy about our club. This one isn’t a total surprise, actually.
Saputo and co. announced yesterday that Montreal will face off against the FC Girondins de Bordeaux, Ligue 1 Champions, three days after Boradeaux [...]

2009 has been one of highs and lows for our beloved Impact. After starting in February with a grand victory at home against Santos Laguna of Mexico in the CONCACAF Champions’ League, we suffered a humiliating 5-2 defeat in Saltillo, Coahuila, home of Santos Laguna. It was the end of a long, exciting international [...]
