Cheese Eating Surender Monkey!

JE ME SOUVIENS 18 JUIN 2009
I remember June 18 2009

So, this piece probably needs an explanation...

On June 18th, 2009 the Montréal Impact football club faced off against Toronto FC in the final match of the Voyageurs Cup (Canadian Championship).

The Vancouver Whitecaps would win the championship, if only Montréal could manage to win, draw or lose by no more than 4 goals. If you lose by 5 goals or more in professional football/soccer, you're pretty much not trying.

With the Whitecaps front office in attendance to accept the trophy post-game, Montréal decided to field their reserve team against Toronto - resulting in a 6-1 loss.

Toronto would win the championship on goal differential, and hence Whitecaps supporters have known the Montréal Impact as the "cheese eating surrender monkeys".

The 2012 MLS Montreal Impact season was good.
I wouldn't say they are a bad team.
