Impact brain trust reflects on successes and mistakes in 2012 season 31 Oct 2012 “We do not want to be close to the playoffs, we want to be in the playoffs. We want to reach our season-ticket subscription objective. We do not want to experience a dip in attendance like we had in our first game at Saputo Stadium. We do not want to leave points on the pitch by allowing so many late-game goals.”
Fire burns slow Impact back four in 3-1 win 16 Sep 2012 The Impact pressed the host Fire early, and took a 1-0 lead thanks to some guile from striker Marco Di Vaio, but the Impact’s experience in the defence was outweighed by its lack of movement, as it surrendered three unanswered goals.
Impact gets a great goal — and lots of luck — in win over Revs 13 Aug 2012 Whether credit for the 1-0 win should go to midfielder Sanna Nyassi, or the 75-strong group of supporters who made Gillette Stadium sound like Saputo Stadium is a question of debate, but there is no doubt that the Impact stole one tonight as it won its second road game of the year.
No Di Vaio, no problem: Impact shuts out the Union 5 Aug 2012 Andrew Wenger, playing up top in place of Marco Di Vaio, presently in Italy facing questions in that country’s most recent game-fixing scandal, gave the Impact a one-goal lead moments before the interval.
Impact falls to Olympique Lyon in penalties, but keeper Bush shines 25 Jul 2012 Marsch also threw laurels at his young goalkeeper, saying, "We like Evan Bush a lot. We think he’s a good goalie and he has a great future. He’s moved himself along this whole season. I watched him play last season and I knew he was a very good goalie last year so the performance he gave tonight was not surprising."
Impact continues to work off an entirely different sort of expansion-team model 6 Jul 2012 Nesta was officially unveiled as an Impact player Friday, in a press conference that was aired live on RDS. But, without a working knowledge of the Italian language, the viewers would have to be happy to admire the legendary central defender in an Impact polo shirt, as he doesn’t speak English or French well enough to communicate to the Canadian media.
Wind, referee’s whistle, condemn Impact to defeat in Colorado 27 May 2012 Make no mistake. Castrillon’s goal was one of the weirdest you will ever see. But it should never, ever have counted. Why? It came after referee Mark Kadlecik blew the whistle and indicated that the ball was out of play.
Impact rests many regulars, then enjoys most impressive 90 minutes of the season 6 May 2012 A match against SKC? Sure loss, right? Wrong. The Impact won its first ever road game, 2-0 over the hosts and, frankly, put together the most impressive 90 minutes in the club’s short MLS history.
TFC gets stalemate at Olympic Stadium 3 May 2012 Playing to a draw is usually the best a road team can hope for. Toronto FC came out of the first leg of its Amway Canadian Championship encounter with the Montreal Impact having achieved its objective, playing to a scoreless tie and setting the stage for next Wednesday’s second game.
Corradi blows kisses to mom and dad after scoring decisive goal for Impact 28 Apr 2012 “They’re just here for a week and they’re heading back to Italy tomorrow. I saw my mother but my father was probably walking around the stadium somewhere. He has a difficult time watching me play.”
