OT: Montreal Impact Thread - #MLSisBack or #MLSisn'tBack Tournament? Edition

[JuicyHam]

That's remarkably low. I didn't realize the MLS was that unpopular. I know LigaMX out draws the MLS in the US which kind of puts it into perspective but that's just not good

That is why the MLS isn't even mentioned when they talk about the major sports in North America, despite having the word "major" in their league name.

 

[Laurent]

Idk how to explain but this is just the most montreal impact game ever so far lol

 

[SquiddFX]

It’s odd hearing the players yelling at each other and not some random chant from a crowd

It’s like watching a higher talent level rec league

 

[Krnage]

its just a matter of time before New England score 1 goal

 

[Luigi Habs]

Mtl looked absolutely terrible in that 1st half.

 

[Dominator13]

Well, the good news is, it can only get better in the 2nd half.

 

[Tabarouette]

I didn't even know it was tonight

I tune in and we're losing, it's like a sad, comforting blanket

 

[Luigi Habs]

Why is Henry still playing with 5 defenders?

 

[Luigi Habs]

Well. We’re losing and will end the game with 5 defenders. Should brought in Lappi and AJH for Piette and Binks.

Didn't watch the game because I knew we would lose and after seeing Taider and Joban starting, I know why we lost lol. 2 players who should ride the bench. First Taider should stay home with his pregnant wife and 2nd Try Shamit, Seijic or Maciel and rather see a scrub like Ballou who has more to lose than journeyman Bojan

And Potato at RB ? really ? With what pace lol Honestly, try him as secondary striker or CB. not RB.... I think he'll be decent as a SS off the bench. Camacho should play at RB and they should forget ZBG is still on the roster.


I think Henry got himself some good Floridian weed before the game

 

[EurOConnEcton]

Yesterday's game was atrocious from an Impact perspective. From questionable coaching tactics to just absolute horrible player execution and effort. We made the Revs look like an MLS All-Star team. If this is what to expect moving into our next game then Toronto is going to tear us a new .....

Montreal Impact 0, New England Revolution 1 | MLS is Back Tournament Match Recap

Thierry Henry: Post Game Press Conference (20/07/09)

"No shape. You don’t fight, and you don’t win battles and you lose balls. There's no need to talk about tactics because there was nothing to do about tactics today. It was about desire that we didn’t have, and it cannot happen."

"We didn’t know where we were going to be physically, but that’s not an excuse. We do fight. You saw that before the beginning of the season. It’s something that we want to have and did have before the break. And so hopefully we'll come back as quick as possible."

Impact : Training (20/07/10)

Impact falls 1-0 to New England Revolution

Taider:"It's a lack of options available from everyone and a lack of effort to win the ball back. It's a team job and we should have put in the effort. In the second half it was better, but the goal hurt us."

Raitala:"I'm very disappointed. We didn't have a good game today. We can't make excuses because it was the same for both teams. They were sharper. We made poor decisions individually and as a team and we can only do better. It's tough to play after so many months, but it was the same for all of us. Now we need to analyze this game and see where we can improve and show up and play a lot better against Toronto. It's going to be a tough game, but all our focus is going to be on that game and playing a lot better than we did today. Hopefully, we can come away with three points. The focus is on us because we were really poor today.

Papi had a rough night yesterday. Raitala as well. Wanyama had a flawless game. Other than that it was pretty boring. Nice to see Ballou get minutes. Hopefully he builds on that. Really weird to see Piette as a RB. I'd rather see Bahiya there...

 

[ahmedou]

Circulez, il n'y a rien à voir...

Ce sont de simples fonctionnaires et des mercenaires professionnels...

Point final...
