Phase two of Stade Saputo in Montreal.

In my opinion, the best stadium in Canada.

Toronto and Montreal both have outstanding stadiums. Vancouver, get on the stick.

True but better to have one in compared to zero. I think Houston actually has a chance to advance even further.

We play Mexico in the US on Feb 11, venue listed as TBA.
