Congrats to Montreal, but Canada teams have the easiest path. I'd hate for MLS's first win be the pathetic Impact.
Anyways,,,
unless america pulls out a miracle in the azteca ( which i doubt considering their lackluster season even in liga MX) then its easy pickings for the impact as i dont see herdiano being as strong as alajuelense, at least in my opinion.OK nice job getting to finals, now lose so we can be first MLS team to win it.
technically yes at least i think so, even though the format did change drastically. however under current format only RSL has reached final but before that i think its been like 10 years or so since the last MLS win.Galaxy and DC won the Champions Cup before it became the Champions League - those don't count?
but they did go thru, even if its with away goals this and previous round. By now i feel they know what to expect and can manage their way thru.Easy pickings? I had a great time watching the games and Montreal deserves a lot of credit but it isn't as if they've been dominant.
Nothing against Canadian teams but they do have a simple path to get to the final rounds. Montreal qualified last year and they were the worse team in MLS, literally. Worse than Chivas.can you explain this to me? i see lots of hate on twitter too because they are a canadian team ( even though i think they do have more americans than canadians in that team) but i thought all MLS fans would be in a "lets go MLS" mentality.

I would think the MLS fan is a carryover from when the league was struggling domestically, but since we're still struggling internationally, it makes sense that some non-Impact fans are happy for them (like myself)This is a concept I've noticed in being fairly new to following an MLS team. There seem to be people who are fans of MLS in general in addition to being fans of a team. That makes no sense to me. I pretty much despise all other MLS teams, to varying degrees, and I don't want to see another one do well in any competition. I wonder if the MLS fan is a carryover from when the league was struggling more, who knows. Comments?
if they win, they may say they are the kings of MLS since they have the CCL title? even though they have yet to win MLS title since CCL title> MLS title?Nothing against Canadian teams but they do have a simple path to get to the final rounds.

Add to that I don't want montreal winning before my team. So no not everyone wants a MLS team to win it.
But I'll probably root for them anyway :sigh:.

Oooooof course once I criticize America they decide to "wake up"
Though I didn't expect it to be over in 36 mins.
We'll at least it should be an interesting final.
Btw does anyone know how the location is determined for CCL final ? How does Montreal get second leg ? Seems both America and Montreal had same points so not sure how leg order is determined?
Those tickets might be available at a discount if/when they get destroyed by Club America in Mexico.Impact sold 10,000 tickets in 2 hours and reached 20,000 in 12

I bought 2 actually. Montreal in the spring is amazing, hopefully they don't get blown out in the first round and spoil my trip. One of the best destinations within an hour flight from the city.
