Spirit of 2008
MONTREAL – The final whistle just couldn’t come quick enough for the travelling Montreal supporters on the evening of July 22, 2008.
The Montreal Impact were valiantly defending their goal against Toronto FC at BMO Field, protecting the 1-1 score at all costs. Salvaging a point here would suffice to top the Reds in the 2008 Canadian Championship standings – a round-robin tournament at the time.
No handbrake needed as Montreal Impact surge into Vancouver
MONTREAL – After his team filled the net in a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, Impact head coach Marco Schällibaum did something he hardly ever does: he talked about the next game.
“If I have a choice, plan A is scoring right away, but hey, there’s always an opponent there who doesn’t want that,” Schällibaum told the media on Monday morning. “What’s important is that we go on the field like we did in the last game – and even throughout that season – and to bring back the cup to Montreal with that objective in mind.”
“This team wants to go forward 100 percent,” Schällibaum said, “so why stop people who want to go forward and have success? We’re going to Vancouver in the same frame of mind. I can’t play another way with this team: they absolutely want to build on what they’ve shown these past few weeks, so I can’t use the handbrake.”
