Don't look now folks, but we've got ourselves a back alley tussle shaping up between CF Montreal and Toronto FC. If you've been following along this far, you already know this one's got all the elegance of a bear wrestling a moose. Let's dive right in, shall we?
Toronto is propped up by keeper Sean Johnson and his 17 saves, which, while numerically impressive, isn't exactly making poets cry. Meanwhile, CF Montreal has a bit of a dilemma—do you go with Sebastian Breza, who's saving shots like a small town cop on his third espresso, or Jonathan Sirois, who’s been just a little flatter than day-old soda?
Enough about our sieves, let's talk about the flashy folks up front, shall we? Toronto is led by Theo Corbeanu and Lorenzo Insigne, who clearly misunderstand that this is soccer and not a passing accuracy competition. Then, there's Sigurd Rosted, who's managed to find the back of the net exactly... wait, no, zero times.
CF Montreal, on the other hand, seems to have misplaced their "to-do" list, titled "Scoring Goals". They do have George Campbell and Prince-Osei Owusu, who actually seem to remember they're supposed to shoot at the net. Luca Petrasso and Giacomo Vrioni, you are also allowed to play.
If you have got some nostalgia going on, you might remember the past matchups, particularly the 5-1 shellacking Toronto handed out to Montreal. However, their recent record looks about as attractive as a raccoon eating garbage—two wins, four draws, six losses for Toronto, and a pitiful one win, three draws, and eight losses for Montreal.
So, what’s going to happen? Some magic? Some dreadfully boring pass-fest? A meteor strike? All guesses are valid at this point. But when the dust settles...
