    Please use this thread for each match going forward and list your top three players - yes - I'm stealing this from the Barcelona board.

    Montreal 3/7/15:

    1. Hamid

    I missed the first two CCL Matches (well just the one as the first did not ever happen).

    I vote the Amtrak train-car the team had to ride home in.
    I think they must have ridden up in the bar-car.

    ... yeah when you can go down the list and readily think of something bad every single player did, it's hard to pick a winner from that bunch.

    I think we need to pick the 3 players that did the least damage:

    1. Birnbaum
    2. Arrieta (hustle points)
    3. Franklin

    So hard.

    James

    btw - watched most of the match via ESPN Go on my phone - spared the worst of it as the signal kept cutting out.

    Franklin or Rolfe -- almost by default. Birnbaum shit the bed on McCarty's pop fly to BWP. Kemp didn't have the minutes or impact to be considered. Arrieta did "hustle", but when Pontius kept drifting farther back downfield, he was left stranded up top with no support. What undid the team was the lack of ability to contain Sam. He roamed the field and it appeared no one had primary responsibility to shut him down. If he is denied the ball, the rest of the Pink Cow "attack" is pretty tepid because BWP needs service. Who else on that team scares you? The Ginger Ninja? The Bad Hipster Moustache? Sal (how many teams have given up on me already?) Zizzo?

    Rolfe took four shots and three were on goal. He's my MOTM, but the competition is thin.

    Not doing this for Orlando?

    1. Hamid, without question
    2. Silva, because 3 points.
    3. Dunno. Farfan for settling things down in the 2nd half after DeLeon was so terrible?
