CHAMPIONS!!!!! MONTREAL 3, VANCOUVER 1

By: Franck | Comments 3 Comments

So I’m a few days late. I was celebrating with my club. There’s nothing better than winning a championship at home!
Before the match started, the Ultras pulled out an impressive tifo with the word Victoire (Victory) spelled across it. The game was set: Victory or nothing!
The first half started out rather quietly, but soon enough, [...]

Vancouver 2 – 3 Impact : Almost there…!

By: Franck | Comments 2 Comments

Coming home with a one-goal lead…it isn’t much, but it’s better that than being in the opposite position.
In the 45th minute, Stephen DeRoux’s center for Roberto Brown went off a Whitecaps defender and into the back of the net.
In the 51st minute, Whitecaps Captain Martin Nash retaliated after a Roberto Brown tackle by providing [...]

Impact 2, Islanders 1: will it be enough?

By: Franck | Comments 3 Comments

It was a cold night in Montreal, a chilly 7C (45F) at Stade Saputo, and while there were only 10000 or so sold tickets, it seemed like less. But, the ones who were there were certainly into it. Tony Donatelli once again showed why he’s a clutch player in important games. After strong performaces in [...]

USL Semi-Finals Preview: Impact vs Puerto Rico Islanders

By: Franck | Comments No Comments

After making it through the Charleston Battery 4-1 on aggregate, we’re facing a tougher opponent in the Puerto Rico Islanders tonight. Just like Charleston, we haven’t beaten them this season. In fact, our record is even worse against the Islanders: 3 losses (3-2 in Bayamon, 1-0, at Stade Saputo, and 1-0 again in Bayamon). The [...]

Impact 2, Charleston 0

By: Franck | Comments 1 Comment

We’re halfway to the semi-finals.
David Testo got the party started with a hefty kick from a good 30 yards out that sailed into the net in the 10th minute.
While Montreal had the lion’s share of possession this game, the momentum shifted at the start of the second half, and it seemed hard enough to [...]

Tomorrow night we start our quest for the USL title, starting a home-and-away series at home against the Charleston Battery. I figured I’d go through some of the good, the bad and the ugly about our current situation:
The Good: We’re playing our best footie of the year right now, with Peter Byers scoring four goals [...]

Impact 1, Vancouver 0

By: Franck | Comments 3 Comments

A well-deserved 3 points for the Impact, who sit alone in 5th spot with 42, one point ahead of Rochester with the same amount of games played, and 6 points ahead of Vancouver, again on the same number of matchs. The Whitecaps didn’t seem to muster much on the offensive side, nor on the possession [...]

Meeting #5 for these two clubs. Montreal: 5th, 39 PTS 27 GP 11-10-6 30GF 28GA. Vancouver: 36PTS 7th 9-9-9 38GF 33GA.
They beat us twice in the Canadian Championship. We beat them twice in the USL. We,re 4-0-1 in our last 5, while Vancouver is 2-0-5 in their last 7. I’m guessing this one will end [...]
