The Impact IS the little brother (or as some TFC fans said in a banner: the retarded little brother).

I'm a diehard Impact fan and was extremely dissapointed at the lack of live TV (on a "real" channel) that this final received. Luckily, I was at the stadium!

The media need to step up and start treating this team like what it is: a professional sports team. Then again, I think the front office needs to start doing the same thing and stop making it so much of a forced family event. Get some soccer fans at the games! Most of the people at any given game at SS come on discounted tickets for their once-a-year visit with the kids' soccer club.

They sure don't make champions (or championships) like they used to, huh?

It's not that the Impact is unpopular, it's that they're not as popular as the Habs and Als, at least as far as the media is concerned. It's still the city's third-biggest sporting team.

This is a very good idea. I believe the impact website had something like this live events blog. But this is a good idea. Perhaps this will lead to a better media situation for the impact.

Regarding the unpopular little brother comment. Really? The impact had won twice the USL cup and had twice a parade held on st-catherine. They have 2 fan-based websites and if security were more open-minded, we'd have an ambiance more like what they have in Toronto with the ultras of montreal. Just google their forums to nderstand what I mean.

Well, I am looking forward to buying my tickets for that match against Real Esteli FC...
