Well, it’s almost here. The most eagerly anticipated game for Montreal and Toronto fans since the MLS-is-Back draw was made, kicks-off at 8pm local time this evening.
The Impact must not lose. Even a draw at the end of 90 minutes does not spell disaster, although it would mean the last game must be won against DC United.
The Impact must walk tall. A repeat of the performance against New England and they may as well make plans to return to Quebec before tonight’s half-time interval grinds to a halt.
I’m not convinced that Thierry Henry refers only to that last game when he mentions lack of fighting spirit, but I’m prepared to be stood corrected.
