vs. San Jose Earthquakes

we got this

i hope

 

I'm not too confident about his one, of course, but at least we're playing at home. Let's hope they put Nesta on Wondolowski!

 

so happy too see the city finally getting into football...

 

Oh man... Nesta and Mapp doubtful for saturdays game

If this is actually the case I'm starting to get angry... we NEED a healthy lineup to have a chance to compete.

 

Anyone know if Bernier will start? He got some quality minutes in Canada's match vs Trinidad and Tobago

 

Almost certainly. He was subbed early in the second half and should be pretty fresh.

The earthquakes players who played USA vs MEX in Azteca will be here, Bernier should as well.

 

I'm kind of curious to see how SJ does it .. Lenhart seems to be having a good yr along with Wondo and Gordon. When TFC had Gordon, I thought he looked good, but of course TFC let him go for basically nothing because he wanted to play on the West coast. Just like they let Dero go because he wanted more money. ex-TFC Cronin starts for SJ as well .. I don't remember who they traded him for, but you can bet it was silly. Their management is imbecilic..

 

In all fairness, most of San Jose's roster is made up of players other teams in the league gave up on. Steven Lenhart was a nobody in Columbus and Wondo was playing reserve league football with Houston. Frank Yallop has done a really good job turning Koolaid into wine- the real question is why did he suck so much as the Canadian NT manager?

 

My wife and I are in Montreal for the weekend and we want to go to the impact game tonight. I looked online and the only tickets are really expensive. Any thoughts on if we can pick up two from scalpers outside the stadium? Long time MLS fan who has been to almost all the stadiums across the US and Toronto and looking forward to experiencing a game at Stade Saputo.

 

I was gonna say SJ seems like the Tampa Bay Rays of soccer .. CMNT has had a problem no manager can solve.. Little money to support it. So little time spent together. Few friendlies. And an association which has been dysfunctional, where provinces fight amongst each other for the scraps.. Clubs reluctant to release players because they know Canada has the leverage of a worm. Players choosing other countries. Even now, look, Canada plays a friendly and it's not broadcast! Against T&T .. why, was Pitcairn Island busy ..

 

Scalpers are posted all around the SS try there.

 

Cool. I will be there routing against the Smurfs!!

 

Dammit, no Nesta, no Mapp and no Nyassi! Doesnt look good for the Impact

 

You mean not starting, or not available? I see neither Mapp nor Nyassi starting, but Nyassi is often used as a sub.

 

''MTL - Perkins; Iapichino, Ferrari, Camara, Brovsky; Neagle, Bernier, Warner, Felipe; Arnaud, Di Vaio
Subs - Bush; Gardner, Ouimette, Thomas, Mallace, Ubiparipovic, Wenger''

Nope, no Nyassi, that sucks big time.

 

The MLS site is ridiculous, I remember they didn't list Nesta injured (they finally did a game later) and now no mention of this.. I can't rely on them. Get a load of this 'game guide' .. how useful is that, they got three players starting that won't be.

I'll be hoping Bernier doesn't get a yellow, he's suspended next one.

 

Argh, well I got my info from the Impact website, let's hope they're wrong. This is far from the ideal lineup to beat the best team in the league.

 

Good grief, Ipiachino headed it right to Wondo in the box ..

 

Ipiachino has made 3 mistakes in ..the first 6 minutes.. ok, I won't keep ragging him, but he makes me real nervous..

 

Lenhart elbows Camara in the nose, and Camara red .. oh Lenhart out too .. Lenhart was really throwing himself around, physical player .. poked Camara in the eye earlier. Won't miss Lenhart. he was trouble. Penalty tho. Wondo scores... Actualyl I don't know why the penalty kick.. lol

 

Di Vaio easy one, set up by Felipe, foots it in close .. Felipe plays well at home.

 

Fun game, 10-10 really opens things up.

 

Everything that happened between Camara and Lenhardt was after the ball was out, the ref didnt see out. I really don't get the PK
