With the advent of of the CONCACAF Champions League, I found myself excitedly anticipating the games, hoping to make it a regular fixture in my sports-watching.
With Montreal getting their first win tonight, I found myself wondering what could have been. With such positive results against Toronto, I can't believe we didn't bring our A-game to take out Montreal. I think perhaps our FO/coaching staff undervalued the CC/CCL. I think we should have poured everything into getting that CC title and into the CCL. The exposure to Canadian media of winning the CC, and then the regular CBC coverage of the CCL would have been a HUUUUGE boost to the WHitecaps brand, and a real boon to their supporters as well as a wake-up call to both the Vancouver populace and MLS brass.
I honestly think we should have maybe even made a quality signing and breated more competitive focus on the CC, even if it meant losing some of our league form.
