“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Unbelievably not nominated for goal of the week. Okay
mlssoccer's staff barely disguise their TFC dislike anymore.
Goal of the week tends to be more about weirdness & distance then technical ability.
Seba didn't even win GotW for his goal against NYRB that got us into the playoffs.
Yah probably the best goal in league history and it wasn't nominated. They also had us as low as third in the 'power rankings' that year despite being absolutely dominant.
it's always passive aggressive though, like when they did a piece a few weeks ago noting the two huge DPs coming in... and their belief that of the two insigne would have less impact than hector herrera...
A very, very, very, good goal. Then again, Seba had a few of those.
Seba should have been nominated for that at the very least.
IIRC, it clinched TFC's first playoff birth?
That play, kinda, sorta, reminds me of Michael's recent off the Lorenziello pass? Lol!
Most recently, Alejandro's Panenka is a good one.
Among my favourite? The latter... Football IQ 'Under The Wall' classic by Victor...

Was that Mukhtar at the end of the Nashville match that exchanged jerseys with Lorenziello?
First TFC MLS opponent player, of many likely, to do so?
You have your years mixed up jloome. We weren’t ever dominant in 2015, and were the recipient of the sixth spot in the east (it was the year they went from 5 to 6 playoff spots in each conference).
Not taking anything away from Seba's beautiful goal, which was even sweeter because he had been on Italy service and had just stepped off a transatlantic flight the same day
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
An interview mention by Lorenzo Insigne and connection with... Chris Mavinga.
Interesting.

Mavinga is an outgoing guy. Not surprised he'd be the one to make these guys feel comfortable.
I also think Mavinga is easily influenced by those around him, a crowd pleaser of sorts. So I agree hopefully this new relationship helps to elevate his game and commitment
Mavinga has looked better in the past two games, I think.
