Bordeaux Girondins Defeat Montreal Impact

The Bordeaux Girondins were in Montreal to play the En avant Guingamp Club for the Champions Trophy on Saturday, July 25. I guess they decided that since they were there anyways they’d play the Montreal Impact.

Bordeaux captain, Alou Diarra, celebrates after winning the Champions Trophy soccer match against En avant Guingamp in Montreal.

The two teams faced off yesterday at the Saputo Stadium and resulted in a not surprising Bordeaux 2-1 victory. The friendly match is a good sign that the Impact are serious about joining the MLS. The Impact have gain a reputation as a competitive and well organized team, yet the MLS still chose the Vancouver Whitecaps as the new franchise addition instead of the Impact. Hopefully with more recognition Montreal will not be overlooked as a great place for soccer.

Montreal Impact Upset Over Losing Streak

It was a sad day this week for Montreal Impact fans to learn that they lost against the Toronto FC in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship. There was only one goal scored during the entire game, unfortunately it was in favour of Toronto.

Toronto also defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps on May 6 (also in a 1-0 game) during the opening Nutrilite Canadian Championships. The Toronto FC are naturally excited by their recent streak of wins and hope that they will continue to be strong in the MLS. Montreal on the other hand continued to disappoint fans by tying their following game against Charleston on May 12. The club then decided that they had had enough with their head coach, so he was sacked on May 14. Lets hope the shake-up works.
