    http://www.concacaf.com/page/CL/NewsDetail/0,,12813~2728793,00.html says the tournament will take place on four consecutive Wednesdays in May. Here is the schedule with the home club listed first:

    May 2: Montreal-Toronto, Edmonton-Vancouver
    May 9: Toronto-Montreal, Vancouver-Edmonton

    May 23: Final Leg 2

    It doesn't say who will host what leg of the final.

    Off topic: but it's still just so stinging that we're trying to evolve a respectable soccer culture in this country and our national tournament is sponsored by Amway.

    Toronto has already sent tickets to season ticket holders to the second leg - May 23rd.

    Considering their league form...a bit optimistic?

    Maybe, but they are playing Montreal in the first round.

    They've already beaten us once.

    Which required a TFC red card and some amazing stops by their keeper. Not something they can count on repeating.

    I'm not saying TFC will win, I was just refuting the idea that its being optimistic to predict TFC getting past Montreal. Against Vancouver it would be a different story in current form.

    Why wouldn't they? Otherwise they suddenly have to sell 20,000 tickets in 2 weeks, possibly against Edmonton! Lot easier just to give everyone a credit on next years tickets.
