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...

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Two Solitudes Derby Time – Can TFC Erase The Memory of Last Year’s Debacle?
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 3pm ET ~ Stade Saputo ~ TSN2 Two games left. Two points out of first. A sub-par homestand over and a tiny, goal-scoring machine finally back to fitness.
