cubaricho Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Botanical gardens are great too. When I take girls up there one of the best dates is a trip to IGA in Complex Desjardins for some baguette/cheese/meat/drinks then back to the Place De Arts Metro out to Botanical Gardens for some lunch by the lake.

Deuce Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 One of the things I love about Montreal, public drinking so long as you have food with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 One of the things I love about Montreal, public drinking so long as you have food with it. Is that a real law? I always just did it anyway. I find you can drink in public as long as you aren't like "HEY LOOK IM DRINKING A BEER RIGHT NOW HEHEHE" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 They really need to add a 20th so everyone has someone to play. I was mildly excited to check out the Revolution before realizing that they're the one team that doesn't play this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ought to happen, you get good support down there it seems. I hope the stain of having to contract the two Florida teams doesn't factor against it.

Oakie Doke Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 realistically, is the sport ever really gonna make it in the States? I doubt it, not in my lifetime anyway. And I'm only 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The sport I'd say is growing every day is term of popularity. Whether that translates to the MLS remains to be seen. Attendances in some places are better than some other sports However people want to see the worlds best players and I doubt that they will ever play in the MLS.

Deuce Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 MLS had a higher average attendance record than the NBA last season. And it's the 2nd most popular sport among young people (18-25 year olds I think). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Every year the age of the "stars" that come over gets lower and lower (Martins aside). Players are starting to see it as a realistic option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Its never ever going to be one of the top 5 leagues, but if it can be in the next tier alongside Portugal, Holland, Russia and whatever that would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Its never ever going to be one of the top 5 leagues, but if it can be in the next tier alongside Portugal, Holland, Russia and whatever that would be great. Thing is, we've got buckets of money. And the league is extraordinarily well-managed. I'd say MLS is currently on par with the Danish or Austrian leagues in terms of quality. Which is rather impressive considering the league's only been around for 20 years. The one thing we couldn't offer is a high-quality regional tournament. Can't imagine the CONCACAF Champions League will ever be an illustrious competition. Now, if they were to combine it with the Copa Libertadores...

Oakie Doke Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 could mean a lot of long distance travelling for teams though. Say if Toronto FC were playing Colo-Colo. Suppose that wouldn't be much worse than some CL draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Mexican teams already play in the Copa I believe, so the precedent's there. Granted, MLS teams have to first prove they can consistently beat Mexican clubs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose that wouldn't be much worse than some CL draws. That is the big drawback. They make the far-flung Russian teams travel to Moscow for European games don't they? Suppose something similar could be worked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
