Pablo Mastroeni

Comeback player of the yearagain could go either way)
Frank Lampard
Kevin Molino

My thoughts on the awards. Van Damme really held the Galaxy together while Lodeiro reenergized the Sounders and propelled them into the playoffs. I'm leaning towards Nico but could see that one going to Jelle. I think Lampard will win the Comeback player but I think Molino should win it.

Christiano Ronaldo signed an extension with Real Madrid and I was pissed about it. That's how far this league has grown.

 

[Dominator13]

It's be pretty cool if both Standard defenders win best defender award 2 years in a row.

 

[Brock Anton]

Holy **** what a strike by Gashi.

Jesus that was magnificent. Quality needs to be a lot better for the Galaxy. Only need 1 goal to to be in the drivers seat.

Badji

 

[JWK]

Yesssssss!!!

 

[Brock Anton]

Howard earned his money there. I think he guessed right every time.

 

[kingsboy11]

For **** sakes. Didn't deserve it in this game, didn't deserve it in the regular season. Extremely pissed off.

Pretty much.

Van Damme was about the only real positive to take out of this season.

So MTL-TFC it is.

Hopefully this provides that break through for MLS in Canada.

 

[TRG]

Haven't been this hyped for an IMFC game since the CCL final.

 

[TRG]

Tesho! Hopefully it makes this series interesting.

?? Toronto has always been amongst the best supported teams in MLS.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Been a decent year for Toronto, as far as sports go. No championships or anything, but....decent.

Well, the Leafs and Argos were complete writeoffs, but the other teams did well.

Marlies - AHL semifinals, but lost.

Raptors - NBA semifinals, but lost.

Jays - MLB semifinals, but lost.

TFC - MLS semifinals.......and we'll see.

While people do come out to games, TV ratings have been terrible. IIRC, TSN is not going to renew their MLS contract due to the crappy ratings. But CBC might pick it up.

Oh I see, yeah the games used to be on a specialty channel Gol? You are correct TSN then started showing games. I hope CBC picks the games up as I don't have cable.

Man, that's too bad. I did not watch the games much on TSN, but I liked having the option. You would think that some other network will pick up the games. I mean, there are so many dedicated sports channels that are presumably looking for content, so theoretically, it just a matter of agreeing to an adjusted price tag.
