According to the french language Montreal footy blog Histoires de Foot, the much drawn out expected announcement that Montreal will become Major League Soccer's 19th team will be made next week.
Here is the direct translation:
" A rumor is worth what it's worth. But this one, without saying where I heard it from specifically, indicates that an announcement will be made next week in regards to Montreal joining MLS. That is what the Impact players seem to be mentioning to certain people who gravitate very closely to the club's day to day affairs. "
This would seem to make sense considering that the Impact's home opener is scheduled next Sunday against Portland, also joining MLS in 2011.
For myself, an ideal scenario would be for the announcement to take place prior to game time so as to benefit from the atmosphere of the Montreal supporters.
Hey Garber South Florida wants MLS.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet South Florida won't even support the team that they have. First things first.
ReplyDeleteBlame it on Traffic Sports/Miami FC. They do not do any marketing. Its sad that people don't know that the team exists.
ReplyDeleteOdd..Last year Traffic were blaming it on the league (USL).
ReplyDeleteIf there's no press conference during next week, should be before the home opener or after ! If the rumor is true of course
