Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) VWFC vs. IMFC - Round One New striker stokes Vancouver-Montreal rivalry Despite never meeting in MLS action, Montreal and Vancouver have an extensive history, with several folds added just this offseason. According to Etienne Barbara, who had to wriggle out of his obligation to the Impact, Vancouver snatched Montreal's first-choice coach, Martin Rennie. The Impact then turned to Jesse Marsch, but neither organization or the coaches have discussed the coup until Barbara dished. On the opposite side is Lamar Neagle, fresh from his trade from Seattle. “In the long run, this is better for my career,” Neagle said. “The more minutes I get on the field, the better I’m going to be and the more money I can eventually make.” The teams play tonight in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic (8 pm ET, MLSsoccer.com Channel 2), but don't expect a friendly tone from the two Canadian clubs. “You have to make tackles,” Donovan Ricketts said. “And if someone feels the tackle is unfair and then we take it over into the first game of the season, then it's already a derby game.” http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/02/24/kick-new-striker-stokes-vancouver-montreal-rivalry

Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Recap: Le Toux, attacking Whitecaps spoil Montreal debut VANCOUVER, B.C. — Two debuts. Different results. Goals from Caps debutant Sebastien Le Toux and Camilo propelled the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact, who made their MLS debut on Saturday night at BC Place. The victory is the second straight season-opening win for the Whitecaps, and the first-ever for rookie MLS coach Martin Rennie.
