Dwayne De Rosario Coming Home To Play For Toronto FC

DWAYNE DE ROSARIO IS COMING HOME TO PLAY FOR TORONTO FC!! The Canadian International and winner of four MLS cups with San Jose and the Houston Dynamo, will be suiting for Toronto FC for the 2009 MLS season.

I feel a major boost to soccer in the city of Toronto!! Toronto FC already easily has the best following out of any team in the MLS. Bringing De Rosario here will just add to the excitement of soccer in Toronto, as well as Canada as a whole. With Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver all looking to add MLS franchises, the face of football is changing rapidly in North America.

This trade was a great move not only for Toronto FC, but for Dwayne De Rosario as well. The thought of playing in front of your home town fans must be exciting, especially when Toronto FC is one of the most, if not the most successful franchise in the MLS.

What I would like to see now from TFC is to bring in a Portuguese or Italian footballer with a reputation as a designated player. If this were to happen, soccer will be the most talked about sport in the country(except for maybe Hockey, and the Raptors suck this year, very disapointing). Perfect for Canadian teams looking to enter the MLS.

The addition of Sweedish International Ljunberg coming to the MLS to play for Seattle, a Portuguese International needs to come to Toronto! I have heard rumours of both Pauletta, Figo and Nuno Gomez as possible candididates for the designated player.

Berbatov Wins Bulgarian Player Of The Year - OBVIOUSLY!!!


Berbatov winning the Bulgarian player of the year award did not come as much of a surprise to the footballing world, considering he wins the award as almost as frequently as he scores receiving the honor 5 times since 2002.

For Country Berbatov has manager to compile 41 goals in 68 appearances, an impressive stat considering the level of play in world football as of late. We all saw what he could do for Tottenham, and he is beginning to show his form for Manchester United. As a Manchester United fan (Go Ronaldo), I am hoping he hits it soon, cause Man U could really use the help. Ronaldo needs to step it up as well, especially after the season he had last year.

I would mention some of the other contendors, but unfortunately you would not no whom they are unless you follow the Bulgarian league, relegiously!
