Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 – Aaaahhhhhh!!!

  Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Anxiety level: High That’s it really – the excitement, the nerves, the ANXIETY!  But at the same time I’m strangely relaxed – tonight’s game (historic, one of the games we’ve longed for the past 10 seasons, etc) is much more than what I’d both expected and asked from Toronto FC this year – so while I’m stressed...

THE STARTING XI: Advantages To Playing In Montreal’s Olympic Stadium

For good, bad or (really) ugly, the first leg of what is arguably Canada’s most important club fixture (for this week) is set for Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. The Impact decided to move indoors onto the turfy goodness and le cha-ching of 60,000 paying customers despite the general crumbliness of “The Big Owe”.  However, while it may not be the prettiest football ground in the world, there are some advantages to...
