Marc Dos Santos, Montreal Impact
Yes, it happens everywhere. Teams rest players when they feel that one competition is of greater importance to them than another. But, the way that Dos Santos mailed it in on the final night of the Voyageurs' Cup, was not really defendable.
He failed to understand the importance of growing a competition that is still in its infancy. He made Vancouver feel cheated and he made the rest of the country forget that TFC was 3-1 in the competition (outside of Toronto the thinking is that TFC is an illegitimate champion).
When there are only three teams involved you should probably at least fake that you are trying.
All things considered, handing Dos Santos the 'Who are Ya?' award is the least we can do.

You do have to also recall that Montreal was to face Vancouver on the Saturday, and did hammer them pretty badly...
When you know that you're long since out of a competition, save the resources for something more important. Doesn't matter how meaningful the competition may be overall.
Who are ya? has got to be the most lame soccer chant ever....
Its not cool because the brits do it, you bunch of Toronto poseurs....
