Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Impact could break attendance mark once more vs. LA Theoretically, Saturday’s crowd could now reach 60,000, and the club is advising fans to arrive at the Olympic Stadium at least an hour in advance. Impact spokesmen would not confirm any further figures during training on Thursday, but kindly invited reporters to “do the math.” The first-ever visit to Montreal by David Beckham’s Galaxy is certainly a factor in the impressive figures, and Montreal head coach Jesse Marsch is well-aware of that fact. He does feel, however, that Saturday’s game will be an opportunity to show Montreal supporters how much his team has grown. “The last time we had 60,000 was like the coming-out party of our team,” Marsch told reporters. “Now I think our team’s moved along more, and it’s a more accurate representation of who we are. I expect us to be sharp and ready to go.” http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/05/10/impact-could-break-attendance-mark-once-more-vs-la
Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Hey, don’t I know you? With first string goalkeeper Josh Saunders is dealing with personal matters, former Impact goalkeeper Bill Gaudette has been promoted to the starting role. He is winless in three starts (0-2-1), allowing four goals against on 11 shots. He played in nine games for the Impact last season, going 2-5-2, before an ankle injury injury sidelined him for the remainder of the year. He has over 80 games experience in the NASL with the Puerto Rico Islanders, taking Goalkeeper of the Year honours in 2008, along with 17 games with the Columbus Crew in MLS from 2005-2007. The Galaxy will also face an ex-keeper, as Donovan Ricketts should be playing in nets for Montreal on Saturday. Battle of the exes? http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/05/three-things-you-should-know-about-la-galaxy
Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Recap: Beckham free kick snatches LA draw at Montreal MONTREAL – Cometh the hour, cometh the man. And the fans – 60,860 in all, a record attendance for a professional soccer match in Montreal – came to see David Beckham ply his trade at the Stade Olympique. The Englishman’s curling free kick in the 62nd minute canceled out the Montreal Impact’s eighth-minute strike from captain Davy Arnaud as the LA Galaxy snatched a 1-1 draw on the road on Saturday. http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2012-05-12-mtl-v-la/recap
Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Montreal Impact U21 team ties York 0-0 in season opener Goalkeeper Jason Beaulieu earns the shutout RDP, Quebec - The Montreal Impact U21 team opened its Canadian Soccer League season on Sunday with a 0-0 draw versus the York Region Shooters, at the Centre Sportif St Jean Vianney, in RDP. After a few spells of sluggish play over the first 60 minutes, the Impact U21 picked up their game and had most of the possession in in the final 30 minutes, but was unable to score as York’s goalkeeper made a number of key saves throughout the match. Next game The U21s will be back in action on Sunday, May 20, at the Centre Sportif St Jean De Vianney, at 2pm, versus the St. Catharines Roma Wolves. The game is open to the public and admission is free. LINE UP: GK- Jason Beaulieu; D – Karl W.

Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Timothée Atouba on trial with the Montreal Impact As per the Montreal Impact, the '' Lion Indomptable '' Timothée Atouba of Cameroon has joined the Montreal Impact on a 1-week trial as confirmed via the Montreal Impact official twitter account. The 6'3 Cameroonian defender has been mostly playing as a left back during his career which included playing in the Swiss Super League, the English Premier League, Dutch Eredivisie and the Bundesliga. With Josh Gardner being injured and Tyson Wahl not playing very well (but not that bad) , it makes sense that the Montreal Impact would be looking for left backs but in the same time, trial players are proposed by different agents in a team's network so sometime the timing does not necessarily makes sense http://www.mountroyalsoccer.com/2012/5/15/3021814/timothy-atouba-on-trial-with-the-montreal-impact

Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) Reserve League: The Impact ties Toronto FC 2-2 Ubiparipovic and Sebrango on scoresheet for Montreal MONTREAL, Quebec – The Montreal Impact tied Toronto FC 2-2 in Reserve League action on Saturday, at the Claude-Robillard Sports Complex. TFC forward Keith Makubuya opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he one-timed a low cross, originating from the right flank, which was curled behind the Impact defence by midfielder Nick Soolsma. The Impact tied it up on a similar play in the 49th minute, when half-time substitute and invitee Carl Haworth, an Impact 2012 Supplemental Draft pick, sent a cross in from the right side of the box. Midfielder Sinisa Ubiparipovic one-timed the ball past TFC goalkeeper Quillan Roberts, low-right. http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/06/reserve-league-impact-ties-toronto-fc-2-2
Re: MONTREAL IMPACT (Impact de Montréal FC) The Impact U21 shut out Toronto FC Academy 1-0 Stefan Vukovic scores winner against former club MONTREAL – The Montreal Impact U21 team (2-0-3) remains undefeated this season, earning a shutout victory over Toronto FC Academy by a score of 1-0, Sunday, at the sports complex of St-Jean-Vianney College. Impact forward Stefan Vukovic, who was playing against his former club, scored the lone goal in the 48th minute, beating the TFC goalkeeper with a low shot that went cross side from inside the 18-yard box, finishing off a nice play by Zakaria Messoudi. “I am satisfied with the win, but a little less so in the way we played,” said Impact U21 head coach Philippe Eullaffroy. “We played a good first half without taking advantage of it. The courage and determination were better than our technique on the field. Defensively, we gave nothing away. I would have liked to see a little more from us but it’s always nice to beat Toronto.” http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/06/impact-u21-shut-out-toronto-fc-academy-1-0
