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.

Portugal DESTROYED By Brazil 6-2! What is up with that!

For those of you who missed it, Portugal just got SPANKED by Brazil!! I can not even begin to tell you how wrong that is on so many levels, but I am going to try.

First of all, a little background on myself so you have a good understanding of why this matters to me so much. I am Portuguese, and a die hard football fan. It pains me to see the team that I take so much pride in get destroyed 6-2, thats right, 6-2 by a Country that speaks the same language as us. Brazil was once a Portuguese colony, and is now the Football capital of the world. They have enough players for 100 national teams. So they once again have bragging rights.

Second, Portugal has an incredible team. You cant blame everything on the coach. Yes there has been a difference in Portugal's style of play since Carlos Queiroz took over, but still why cant we come together as a National Team. I mean look at our team; Ronaldo, Nani, Quaresma, Almeida, Danny, Deco, Simao, Maniche, Bosingwa, Carvalho, Meira, I mean the list goes on and on. I would say our biggest weakness is the Striker position, which is the reason why we dont score to many goals. But still, 6-2. Thats hard to come back from. Oh yeah, and great goalkeeping by Quim, what the F%$ was that! It was if he was sleeping! Especially those by Maicon and Elano

On the flip side, how the hell is Brazil not the number 1 team in the world? I mean seriously, they can seriously put out the 1, 2 and 3 top teams in the world and still be eachothers biggest competition.

Anyways, Portugal needs to bounce back, from that embarassing loss. Ronaldo needs to step it up big time internationally. To be truly great, he needs to lead both his club and country.

Does anyone feel my pain? Any thoughts on the game? Comment below

Maradonna Wins First as Head Coach of Argentinas National Team

Diego Maradona won his first game in charge of Argentina in a 1-0 victory away to Scotland. Diego's first game has gone by with little criticism, but I am sure it will just be time before people are targeting him. I have a feeling Media is just waiting for him to mess up.

Personally, I dont think Maradona will last as Argentina's head coach. Of course he will win games, he is head coach of arguably the best team in the world, made up of the top players in the world including Sergio Aguero from Atletico mardid and Lionel Messi of Barcelona. I dont see Maradona having the mentality nor the composure to be a sold coach. His previous coaching assignments ended in disasters, not sure how being at the helm of Argentina is going to be any different. I have a feeling he will be in the headlines more for his antics then his coaching.

Im not sure having an ex-junkie in charge of a National Team is such a good idea. A position like that comes with a lot of pressure, someone with a substance abuse problem may be pushed into re-using.

But then again, this is Diego Maradona here, arguably the greatest player the game has seen, if anyone can pull it off, im sure he can.

What do you think of Maradona as head coach? Leave a comment below and let us know.
