Jack Todd: Wilfried Nancy's CF Montreal is a very pleasant surprise

It was so hot and humid in Columbus on Wednesday night that watching it on TV left you dehydrated.

There was a long weather delay. There was a thunderstorm in the area. Columbus put CF Montreal ahead 1-0 with a 14th-minute goal from Lucas Seralayan.

It was destined to be a shrugged loss. Great team, on the road to face brutal conditions, email in the last few minutes and catch a plane back to Montreal.

However, Montreal coach Wilfried Nancy does not play that way. His cudgel intensified the pressure throughout the second half, effectively trapping Crews on their side and making it seem impossible to escape.

Somehow, the 37-year-old Kei Kamara played like his 25-year-old version of himself. He was killing the impact wearing Columbus' canary his yellow. Kamara created chances again and again, but in the 88th minute he flew over his meeting board in the box and finally scored with a crisp, brutal header to equalize. .

His fourth goal of the season for Kamala. He is currently tied for third in MLS history with 134 career goals. Joel Waterman's goal in the 4th minute of extra time was less spectacular but effective: CF Montreal 2, Columbus 1

It didn't go well. Did Inter Miamiat Saputo Stadium on another night when the air on Saturday was like hot soup. An irrepressible Romelu Chioto scored his two goals to give Montreal his 2–1 lead, but in the heat and humidity it cost him to play two games in four days. accompanied.

In the 79th minute, Miami's Emerson Rodriguez picked up his ball loose and fired his shot clear after diving into his area for a penalty. Rodriguez went down on the play and that should have been it. However, in front of Panthemis he had four defenders lined up, so he made the decision to play the ball.

Panthemis lost the race, with Rodriguez getting up in time and firing a second shot into an empty net, giving Miami a road tie. Still, surprisingly he finished CF Montreal Eastern He entered the All-Star break in his 3rd place in the conference, two points clear of New York City but three points behind the NY Red Bulls. You have 40 points.

Nancy is the best coach in his MLS incarnation on this team. (Currently Leeds his United his manager Jesse his Marsh was a raw lad when he took over the Impact.)

Even better, Nancy's team sizzling on the pitch. It's getting hot. CF Montreal is fun to watch. Unlike Alouette, for example.

Until his three quarters, the bomber could not decide whether to shoot the left leg or the right leg. They compromised and tried both.

Alouette scored a meaningless late score when Dominic Davis put together a long drive to replace a dazed and confused Trevor Harris. It was mainly the strength of a high-wire juggling catch from Eugene Lewis and an excellent TD grab. Tyson Philpott. More than

Since Trestman left in his 2012, Alz has gone through Dan Hawkins, Jim Pop, Tom Higgins, Pop Again, Jack Chapderin, Cavis Reed, Mike Sherman, Jones and Maciosia.

It didn't get any worse.

and bonus

Canada won his Hlinka Gretzky Cup this weekend. Canada consistently wins her Hlinka Gretzky Cup.

And if Canada wins, Scott Smith and Hockey his Canadian executives will be ready to receive their bonuses. Now Smith & Co. presides over the worst scandal in gaming history, with bonuses for wins as predictable as Sportsnet drooling over Leafs.

In Hockey Canada's armor he had only one crack. Michael Brind'Amour has resigned as chairman of Hockey Canada's Board of Directors — reportedly after an unsuccessful bid to remove Smith and his fellow officers, Hockey Canada Denied.

Not acceptable. Hockey Canada has been lying, deceiving and sabotaging every step of the way since a young woman was allegedly assaulted by a junior player (including a member of Team Her Canada) in 2018.

First,must go to Smith and his cadrethen healing and repair can begin.

Heroes: Kei Kamara, Romell Quioto, Mia Vallee, Amar Dhesi, Camryn Rogers, Nathan Rourke, Eugene Lewis, Tyson Philpot, Brittney Griner &&&& , Wilfried Nancy.
