Are you smarter than Paul Mariner: Round 12

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, Toronto FC will kick off the finals of the Voyageurs Cup this Wednesday. It’s a road we’ve been down before but somehow not calling Toronto FC Canadian Champions feels weird. Even if you are of the mindset that Toronto should focus on league play and put the cup competition on the back burner looking across the pitch and seeing the Impact could very likely change your opinion. Losing the Voyageurs Cup to Montreal is very different than if Toronto had been knocked out in the semis.

To be kind Montreal is hurting this season. Sitting dead last not only in the Eastern Conference but last place in the single table through one third of the season. Montreal made it to this stage due to a dubious penalty call, in stoppage time, against a hard working FC Edmonton squad. Marco Di Vaio has been hurt for much of the year and as Di Vaio has been hurt so has the Montreal attack.

For all the "Toronto should be playing better" talk out there TFC are in superior form compared to Montreal. A shorthanded comeback performance in KC hopefully shows everyone that this is a different TFC than previous years. There isn’t the lay down and accept it mentality anymore. More than any squad Toronto has put out this one could very well want it more than others have.

This could be a game Toronto controls the flow of. On the face of it TFC should come away with a lead for the return leg next week.
