<p>What’s the Impact’s problem with scoring? How could you dominate a game so bad and lose it on a stupid clearance (Stefano ma che cazzo hai pensato?) It’s frustrating because when you look at the Impact play and then you take a look at the standings; It makes no freakin’ sense. The Impact is solid defensively, creates plenty of dangerous scoring chances but still didn’t manage to slot one in the net. I don’t have anything special to say that’s different from the last time. A part from the fact that Rocco Placentino is an excellent addition, that doesn’t mean we’re scoring more goals. Mr. DeSantis will need to install the Strikers in front of a wall and let them kick it for 7 hours straight. By the way, Bob has all the game covered here.</p>
<p><span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>I’m sure we’re going to bounce back. The Impact just needs some fine-tuning and a little more Gabriel Gervais and we should start climbing back in the standings. Oh yeah, and let’s pop our Sauto Stadium Cherry already.</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact !</strong></p>
<p>Boswell que c’est frustrant. L’Impact a complètement dominé la rencontre de A à Z mais n’est pas parvenue à marquer un but! Montréal joue bien, le ballon roule de façon fluide, la défensive est solide et Rocco Placentino ajoute une 3ieme dimension en phase offensive. En regardant les performances de l’Impact et le tableau de la USL et c’est contradictoire. L’Impact joue très bien, mais ca ne se traduit pas en résultat dans le classement. Mr. DeSantis devra placer tout ses attaquants devant un mur pour pratiquer leurs tirs ! Je crois tout simplement que la machine de l’Impact a besoin d’un peu plus de milage et d’huile avant de vraiment prendre son envol. Tout va bien, on est capable de tenir notre tête haute face au FC Toronto, less gradins du Stade sont toujours bien garnis (Malgré leur Hochelaga-itude) En bref, il ne reste qu’à transformer les nombreux aspects positifs de l’Impact en points au classement. Je crois qu’il ne nous manque qu’une petite victoire convaincante de 3 ou 4 à 0 pour remettre le train de l’Impact sur la bonne voie.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s go L’Impact !</strong></p>

<p>That’s right, the words champions league and Canada in the same sentence with no mention of a certain Owen Hargreaves. As a Montrealer I will never get used to losing to Toronto Maybe it’s just because it happens so rarely, all sports included. But the Impact’s loss against Toronto hurts a little: maybe it was seeing Greg Sutton with a Red Uniform, maybe it was the fact that Montreal certainly deserved t be an MLS franchise before Toronto or maybe it’s just because Toronto is…well Toronto. The beautiful Saputo Stadium was near full capacity to witness the Impact go down 1-0 with 10 men. Toronto didn’t dominate the game, it was the Impact that shot itself in the foot once again. 1st with Pesoli’s red card and 2nd with the clear lack of finishing. Many would have thought the return of Rocco Placentino would have sparked the Attack, but that just wasn’t enough. The Impact created lots of chances but couldn’t put them past Mr. Sutton. We really need to start working on our finishing because the Defence is tight, the midfield is running smoothly and the Attack is getting fed some decent balls ; now it’s just of matter of putting them past the opposing keeper. We’re still not of the CONCACAF CL yet !</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact !</strong></p>
<p>Perdre contre Toronto, j’en reviens tout simplement pas. Cela arrive si rarement, tout sport confondus, que ca me surprend et me fait mal à chaque fois. C’est d’autant plus frustrant quand tu vois Greg Sutton dans les buts et que Toronto ne méritait pas une équipe de la MLS plus que Montréal(ou Vancouver). Maudit Toronto ! Bref, le Stade Saputo était quasiment à pleine capacité Ardi soir. La troupe de Desantis a bien parue malgré la défaite. Les chances de marquer étaient au rendez-vous, mais la finition ne l’est toujours pas. L’Impact se doit de trouver une façon de la mettre dedans comme dirait Jacque Demers. Le retour de Rocco Placentino n’a pas été suffisant pour permettre à l’Impact de l’emporter, d’autant plus que le carton rouge de Pesoli à la 52eme minute n’a pas aidé la cause de notre équipe favorite. Reste que nous sommes toujours dans la course pour le poste de Champions Canadien de la CONCACAF. L’Impact en Ligue des Champions, ca sonne bien non ?</p>
<p><strong>Let’s Go L’Impact </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Montréal Impact managed to sell out the brand spankin’ Saputo Stadium last Monday but Mother Nature didn’t want to collaborate. The Vancouver Whitecaps held the Impact to a 0-0 draw on opening day.  No team found the net, so Saputo Stadium’s cherry has yet to be popped. The rain didn’t help at all, The sold out East End Stadium was Sold out but only about 10,000 people showed up and left gradually during the game. (After only 1 game, I’m pretty sure the Impact is the USL’s attendance leaders) However, Section 114 was chanting and dancing all day cheering on the hometeam. The Impact created many opportunities on offence but lacked finishing, however, the defence held the fort down well, with Matt Jordan making sure Eduardo Sebrango wasn’t going to be the 1st player to christen the Saputo Stadium. Nick Desantis’s boys showed some great spirit. New boys Pato Aguillera and Cedric Joqueviel played very well and Antonio Ribeiro is still an excellent option on the bench. All in all, the Impact managed to create a lot, it’s looking good for the future but we definitely need to start seeing some results from now on.  </p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p>L’Impact a fait face à Mère Nature en plus des Whitecaps Lundi dernier. Le Stade Saputo, sold out, a été témoin d’un match nul de 0-0 pour son inauguration. Par contre, la pluie et le mauvais temps a fait en sorte que plusieurs partisans sont restés à la maison et que les conditions climatiques rendaient le terrain lourd, ainsi affectant négativement le jeu au sol de l’Impact. Par contre, L’Impact méritait quand même la victoire ; la défensive a été solide tout au long de la rencontre et l’attaque a reussie a créer beaucoup d’occasion, malheureusement  la finition ne s’est pas pointée  au rendez-vous. AU moins la troupe a DeSantis commence à démontrer de belle chose. Di Lorenzo continue à bien gérer le milieu de terrain et Pato Aguillera semble être l’acquisition surprise. Il est solide sur les coups franc et possède une bonne vision du jeu et sait quand se lancer à l’Attaque. Stefano Pesoli et Cedric Jocqueviel démontre qu’ils sont d’excellent remplacant en défense. Les deux ont joués un match splendide et on voit bien que leur temps de réaction et d’anticipation est formé à l’européene. Il ne reste qu’à transformer ses aptitudes en points au classement !</p>
<p><strong>Let’s go L’Impact !</strong></p>

<p>The Impact really needs to understand the concept of a draw. The Thunder loss hurts because of the last gasp goal conceded. The Impact’s defence was compact for the whole game except for that 1 goal. But we seriously need to make the attack more fluid. Our best chances have come the opposing team’s errors rather than a kinky well-constructed attack. Not all is lost, The Impact hasn’t been clearly &#8221;outplayed&#8221; by any team yet and have 1 more road game to play before entering the new haven of the Saputo stadium and getting some damn TV coverage over here! It’s time to bounce back against the Battery on Wednesday and then concentrate on providing a nice win against the Vancouver Whitecaps on May 19th   at the spankin’ new Saputo Stadium </p>
<p><em>  Free Bocconcini for everyone !</em></p>
<p><span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p>L’impact a encore une fois cedé devant la foudre du Minesotta la semaine dernière. Avec tout l’engouement causé par leur venu dans le nouveau stade j’espère que l,équipe pourra offrir quelques victoires convaincantes en sol montréalais. J’ai bien hâte que l’Impact commence a mettre des points sur le tableau. La défaite crèv cœur au Minesotta ne fait rien pour améliorer la confiance de la troupe De Santis mais je suis convaincu que l’Impact rebondira dès Mercredi face au Battery !</p>
<p><strong>Let’s Go L’Impact !</strong></p>

<p>The Canadiens have been kicked out of the playoffs by some brotherly love and we can now enjoy the soccer season in Montreal. L’Impact still has 2 away games left before entering the new Saputo Stadium in May. Out of the 1st 4 games played we’ve managed to pick up a cool 6 points and we’re getting better with time. I know that L’Impact’s Italian style means that team fitness will only ameliorate itself exponentially as we move along the season.  The last 2 games against Atalanta and Puerto Rico saw us lose Nevio Pizzolitto to injury for a little more than a month, but it also brought us 3 points ; Atalanta beat us fair and square but Matt Jordan managed to save a Penalty in Puerto Rico and L’Impact has left the Island with all 3 points in hand. 2 more road games and Montreal will be more than happy to welcome the boys back home. For now, bring on the Tunder</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact </strong></p>
<p> <span id="more-18"></span></p>
<p>Grace à l’amour fraternelle, L’Impact est maintenant la seule équipe sportive professionnelle encore à l’œuvre à Montréal. L’Impact doit encore jouer 2 parties à l’extérieur avant d’inaugurer le prochain domicile de l’Impact. Les 2 derniers matchs ont mis 3 points en banque pour L’Impact ; 1 victoire a Puerto Rico et 1 défate à Atlanta. J’ai vraiment hâte de revoir nos joueurs à Montréal, devant leurs partisans. Comme l’impact a un ‘’management’’ à l’Italienne, on peut s’attendre à voir la condition physique des joueurs s’améliorer tout au cours de la saison pour être en condition parfaite pour le dernier droit de la saison. Avec toutes les nouvelles acquisitions, la chimie de l’équipe n’est pas à son Nexus, mais il reste amplement de match pour que L’Impact trouve la chimie et le ‘’timing’’ parfait pour recommencer sa diomination de la USL pour encore une autre année. En attendant, faut penser au Tonnerre du Minesotta</p>
<p><strong>Let’s Go L’Impact !</strong></p>

<p>The Impact is well established in the extremely hockey friendly Montreal city. The fact that Mr. Spauto and the Impact have managed to find a nice little comfy niche in this Hockey crazed town is immense. Thank god Montreal&#8217;s multicultural community manages to provide more than enough loyal football fans to get an actual Soccer only stadium built is extraordinary. </p>
<p>The Montréal  Impact organisation even has it’s own Ultra group ! The Montréal Ultras will be able to call Stade Saputo home very soon !<br />
That’s how well established the organisation is in Montreal. <a href="http://www.um02.com/">They have their website and all !</a></p>

<p><strong> Dwight Barnett </strong> and <strong>Roberto Brown Perea</strong> scored to goals in the 2nd half that saw <strong>Nick Desantis’ crew</strong> come back from a 1 goal deficit to win the game. L’Impact ‘s win in Miami sends the 1st point on the USL board, and surely this is just the beginning to an exciting season. <strong>Bob</strong> has L’Impact’s win already covered, <a href="http://timbers.theoffside.com/usl-first-division/usl-first-division-week-2-wrap.html">right here</a>, in his, more than famous (I’d even say internationally recognised) Weekly USL Wrap Up.  Unfortunately for Impact fans, the Habs are riding strong so the little sports media attention L’Impact usually gets is even littler than usual. Because I don’t want to fork out 50$ for USL coverage on the Net, I need to wait a little longer before the Impact coverage hits full tilt. So it’s a good thing we still have 4 games on the road left, that should give the Habs just enough time to get eliminated before we unveil the new east end Satdium. The  <strong>Hochelaga-Maisonneuve</strong> neighbourhood is finally represented on a North American stage.</p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>But the Miami game showed us plenty of pleasant glimpses of what the future will hold. New comers, <strong>Severino Jefferson</strong> and <strong>Stefano Pisoli</strong> are looking more than USL worthy already and I just can’t wait to see the whole team gel. <strong>Gbeke</strong> and <strong>Matt Jordan</strong> are still the players they were last year and we can always count on <strong>Gabriel Gervais, Patrick Leduc, Adam Braz </strong> and <strong>Nevio Pizzolitto</strong> to be the good old reliables that they have always been. Add to that, the fact that Argentinean midfielder <strong>Leonardo Di Lorenzo</strong> has a USL season under his belt and it seems as though <strong>Joey Saputo</strong>, hit the nail right on the head with the timing of the new Stadium. It looks like the team will be more than tweaked before we get a good glimpse at what it can do. </p>
<p>Now it’s time to think about Siverbacking some Atalantans on Friday Night</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and head on to the new <a href="http://rochester.theoffside.com/">Rhinos page</a>, they’re non-raging this year so let’s see how that affects the heated rivalry. Alessio’s has all your Rhino needs covered (Come to think of it, I think I need to hate you Alè ! Already you’re a Juve fan and now the Rhinos, what other skeletons do you have in your closet ? Are you a Leafs fan too for god sakes!?<br />
At least we both love the  Azzurri )</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact </strong></p>
<p><strong>Dwight Barnett</strong> et <strong>Robert Brown Perea</strong> ont permis à l’Impact de combler un deficit d’un but pour obtenir leur première victoire de la saison. La saison  ne fait que commencer et je ne parle pas de la LNH! Honnêtement, j’ai bien hâte que l’Impact se retrouve sur (pas <em>à</em>, mais bien <em>sur</em>) la télévision. J’adore le Bleu-Blanc et le Rouge mais il est temps (dans mon livre à moi, je ne veux pas me faire crucifier par les fans finis des Habitants) que l’hockey ne prenne pas toute la place méditatique. Non seulement d’un point de vue ; Média sportif, mais aussi d’un point de vue médiatique en général. L’Impact jouera encore 4 match à l’étranger avant d’arriver à Hochelaga Maisonneuve et casser la baraque. Ce sera merveilleux. </p>
<p>La bade a Desantis a fait voir de belle choses à Miami. <strong>Severino Jefferson</strong> et <strong>Stefano Pisoli</strong> ont démontré qu’ils sont des joueurs complet et très bien outillés pour affronter les rigueurs de la USL avec flair. <strong>Nevio Pizzolitto, Patrick Leduc, Adam Braz</strong> et <strong>Gabriel Gervais</strong> ont encore une fois été les vétérans fiables qu’ils sont et <strong>Leonardo Di Lorenzo</strong> possède une précieuse année d’expérience en USl derrière lui. Sans parler de <strong>Charles</strong> ou <strong>Jordan</strong>&#8230; L’équipe devrait bientôt possèder la chimie, oh combien importante qui permetra à la Bande à Desantis d’entrer bien rodée dans le nouveau Stade. </p>
<p>Avant de revenir à Montréal, et sur les ondes télévisuelles, l’Impact doit affronter Atlanta Vendredi le 25. Allez les gars</p>
<p><strong>Let’s go l’Impact </strong></p>

<p>Not unlike Will Smith, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp5IP76PeY">Impact is going to Miami </a></p>
<p>Montréal’s Impact will be paying a visit to Miami FC tonight in United Soccer Leagues First Division action at 7:30 p.m EST   (You can watch the game on USLlive.com)</p>
<p>Midfielders <strong>Cristian Nunez</strong> and <strong>Matthew Palleschi</strong>, and defenders <strong>Cédric Joqueviel</strong> and <strong>Luis Aguilar</strong> did not hop the plane to Miami.</p>
<p>The Impact have never, EVER, lost or conceded a goal against Miami FC and it’s not going to start tonight. Miami FC drew their 1st game of the season while the Impact will be looking for their 1st points after falling to Vancouver in this season’s opener. </p>
<p>Of course this game’s in Miami because L’Impact’s new <strong>Saputo East end Stadium</strong> needs some fine tuning. I’m sure the Impact should be able to get the wheels of the squad in motion and <strong>Nick DeSantis</strong> will be looking to lead his troops to victory tonight.</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact!</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p><a href='http://montreal.theoffside.com/files/2008/04/willie-miami.jpg' title='willie-miami.jpg'><img align='left' border='1' style='margin-right:7px' src='http://montreal.theoffside.com/files/2008/04/willie-miami.jpg' alt='willie-miami.jpg' /></a></p>
<p>Comme Will Smith, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp5IP76PeY">Montréal s’en va à Miami</a></p>
<p>Le Miami FC , sans Romario, accueille l’Impact en Floride ce Samedi a 19h30.. L’Impact n’a jamais concédé de but ou de victoire au Miami FC l’an dernier. Le but sera de voir cette séquence positive continuer ce soir. Ainsi l’Impact pourra récolter les premiers points de la saison, qui sont si précieux. La route au championnat est  longue et l’Impact doit encore disputer 5 matchs avant de rentrer à la maison dans l’Est de Montréal. Le nouveau <strong>Stade Saputo </strong>sera prêt à accueillir nos héros sous peu.</p>
<p>Mais pour l’instant, l’Impact doit se concentrer sur Miami…</p>
<p><strong>Let’s go l’Impact </strong></p>

<p>Again this year,  the <strong>Montréal Impact</strong> organisation will working in association with &#8221;le Club des petits déjeuners du Québec&#8221;, a local charity who helps underprivileged youth to provide a healthy breakfast each and every, and absolutely free. The goal is to provide children with a healthy meal and an environment that helps promote self-confidence.</p>
<p>Not only is the Impact a solid and well-structured team on the field, its organisation is extremely involved in the community and the players are always more than happy to give back to the Montreal community. The Impact is classy, from the field to the boardroom to the streets!</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact </strong></p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>Encore une fois cette année <strong>l’Impact</strong> s’associe avec <em>le club des petits déjeuners du Québec</em>. Comme nous le savons déjà, l’Impact n’est pas seulement une équipe de foot bien huilée, c’est aussi une organisation qui n’oublie pas ses racines montréalaises et l’importance de redonner à la communauté locale. Encore une fois , chapeau à l’Impact pour leur travail communautaire et leur humble modestie et sourire sincère. L’Impact réussi extremement bien à créer un sentiment d’appartenance, et pas seulement en dominant la <strong>MLS</strong> (pardonnez mon lapsus) la <strong>USL</strong> plutôt, depuis plusieurs années déjà !</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact </strong></p>

<p>The only officially bilingual city in North America (it’s not official Los Angeles) is finally going to be represented on The Offside, so I feel it’s only normal to have bilingual posts seeing how Montreal is the sexiest city in North America and all.  So whatever your favourite <em>&#8221; Solitude&#8221;</em>would it be Québec or the ROC, rest assured that you’ll be able to find all you amusing Impact tidbits right here on The Offside.  And <strong><a href="http://timbers.theoffside.com/">Bob</a></strong> finally has someone to hang out with in this lonely USL section. (come to think of it the USL representation on The Offside has just doubled)Btw i&#8217;m Marco and you can find me on the <a href="http://italy.worldcupblog.org/">Italia</a> and <a href="http://livorno.theoffside.com/">Livorno</a> pages as well </p>
<p><span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>This is the 1st post so I won’t be talking about the 1st loss of the year or the New Stadium, the 4 road games remaining before the season opener <strong>Nick Desantis’ </strong>sexy calfs, not even my infinite love for Saputo Bocconcini’s won’t be mentioned for now. I won’t even be talking about the possible Liverpool  loanees L’Impact could be considering for next year</p>
<p>In the meantime, if you have any questions suggestions or plain old comments, feel free to feel free !</p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact</strong> </p>
<p><strong>Montreal</strong> est selon moi une des plus belles villes en Amérique du Nord. La seule ville officiellement bilingue en Amerique du Nord ( Los Angeles c’est pas officiel, et que personne ne me dise qu’Ottawa est une ville bilingue) mérite une page sur le merveilleux site qu’est The Offside. C’est pourquoi l’Impact est la seule équipe qui aura des articles bilingues sur The Offside (pour l’instant, qui sait)</p>
<p>Comme c’est le premier jour, un peu comme a l’école, il n’y aura pas vraiment de profondeur ; ni même la mention de la 1ere défaite, de l’inauguration officielle du Futur Stade Saputo, je ne mentionnerai pas les mollets sexy de Monsieur De Santis et je ne vous parlerai même pas de mon amour pour les Bocconcini Saputo. Ni même de George Gillett et encore moins des Habs. Tout cela sera pour un autre jour !</p>
<p>Pour l’instant, si jamais vous avez des questions, commentaires, suggestions ou si vous voulez tout simplement corriger mes nombreuses erreurs de syntaxe et d’aurtogaphe ; sentez vous libre de vous sentir libre !</p>
<p>En passant moi c&#8217;est Marco, vous pouvez me trouver en <a href="http://italy.worldcupblog.org/">Italia</a> et à <a href="http://livorno.theoffside.com/">Livorno</a> </p>
<p><strong>Allez L’Impact !</strong></p>
