MLS has released their All-Star Game media schedule, and in the mix is a planned "special announcement" by Don Garber at 2:30 MT (4:30 ET) Monday.

Word on the street is that Montreal is on the verge of being announced as Major League Soccer's nineteenth franchise.

Could the two be connected?

This past week, we learned that Montreal's entry into the league would be on the agenda for the league; with the new news that Garber has an announcement planned (with no detail provide), speculation is easy.

Add to it what Duane Rollins has heard over at the 24th Minute, and two plus two now appears to be four.

Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes on MFUSA tomorrow for any updates.

For what it's worth, you guys know that I'm solidly on the side of "expansion is good", and Montreal makes sense as an established soccer market with a stadium ready made to be upgraded.
