    [Sorry for being a stickler about this given that the winner was determined more than two days ago, but let's avoid Voyageurs Cup 2011 Final Second Leg spoilers at least until the match video has been available for a few days (it will be up very soon).]

    Looks like the away leg will be played in Nicaragua this time. Didn't the Impact play them in Guatemala or something because their stadium wasn't up to FIFA standards? Anyways, TFC shouldn't have any trouble here, especially with Frings and Koevermans playing (I'm assuming they're eligible at this point?). The bigger test will be in the group stages, especially if FC Dallas makes it in too.

    Honduras.

    Also, TFC shouldn't have had trouble with Porto Rico either, we all remember how that turned out.

    Many teams have had trouble with PR Islanders in the CCL, so I would get too bent out of shape over that.

    They renovated their stadium to meet CONCACAF Champion's League standards so that is why they can now play in Nicaragua.

    That is one crappy stadium. No wonder Montreal had to play them in Honduras
