Impact hero Ubiparipovic marks return to remember
MONTREAL – When Sinisa Ubiparipovic received a pass from Lamar Neagle at the edge of the Toronto FC penalty area this past Saturday, the words “Remember me?” might as well have been flashing on the Olympic Stadium big screen.
OPTA Chalkboard: Ubiparipovic adds a touch of class to Impact's rugged midfield
The veteran added to his Montreal legend, scoring the Impact's opener 18 minutes in and marking his long-awaited return to the blue jersey.
Ubiparipovic could have made his first start earlier in the season, but an MCL injury he picked up in preseason in late February set the Bosnian back. That was pretty much the lone blotch on an otherwise spotless spring for the Bosnian, who was determined not to let it hinder his return to MLS too much.
“It’s been a frustrating three or four weeks,” Ubiparipovic told reporters following the Impact’s 2-1 defeat of Toronto FC. “I’ve been working hard to get my fitness back and whatnot. It just feels rewarding to get in there, I score a goal and the team wins. It’s a double bonus.”
Ubiparipovic had not taken part in MLS action since September 4, 2010, when Real Salt Lake defeated his former club, the New York Red Bulls.
That made his return this past Saturday doubly sweet. He hit the target on his return to MLS, and did so in Montreal, where supporters have already grown to love this elegant attacking midfielder. During the team’s 2011 season – its last in the second flight – Ubiparipovic led a furious late-season push for a playoff spot after being signed in the middle of the year.
The Impact eventually fell short of the NASL playoffs, but Ubiparipovic’s ability to both set up and score goals made him an instant hit and gave the fanbase a hero heading into their first MLS preseason.
It was a breath of fresh air to see the 28-year-old pick up where he’d left off. And he may have endeared himself even further to the Montreal faithful with his goal celebration. Upon scoring, Ubiparipovic immediately turned to the Toronto traveling fans and cheekily pointed to his ears.
“I heard them singing before the game, I had to give them a shout out,” Ubiparipovic said with a laugh. “It was too far for me to go the other way. I just had to be creative at that moment.”

Seems odd to turn down a pro contract to play in college (even if it is Akron).
if he can get drafted in the top 10 of the first round, he's looking at 100k + a year

For anyone on the fence about getting Martchday Live, I highly recommend it.
I like using it on the iPad. The picture quality and stream are outstanding on the iPad, and if you have an Apple TV, you can use air play to watch it on your TV. Here's a Promo Code to get $9 off: 2012TICKET15
Here's a link to the goal. When it's posted on youtube, I'll add the youtube video.

Zarek and Sinisa started for Montrel today against Toronto, and apparently Sinisa has scored to put them on top already.
ha, which is funny because I made a little rant on one of the MLS's posts for today's game saying, "Montreal needs to get the Akron boys into the game!! Evan Bush should be the starting goalie!!!!"
The soccer gods heard my prayers.

DeAndre's Mohawk is bad@ss. I like it.
Perhaps he should try some "Ampai" highlights.
I was thinking the same thing

Thanks for updates and some details. Was the PK shot wide, high , or just blocked by GK?
Not sure if I have this right, but it looked like he shot in down the middle at the goalkeeper. The clock was at 0:00 when it was taken.

We were late with today's game thread so it's better to start tomorrow's game early. I'll try to post updates throughout the game tomorrow.
