Let's face it: We've got #CCLFever and we’re all in on #MLS4Montreal.


Because, you know, the Montreal Impact are facing off against Club América in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final tonight.


In honor of this massive day for the players and fans of l'Impact de Montréal -- not to mention the rest of MLS -- we're going to add a little français to our Twitter game on @MLS.
