So it has been just under a week since I last made an entry to my blog, which is way too long. Now I know that basically I am writing this blog for myself since I don't think that anyone else reads it but what the hell, its therapeutic.....right? Wow, now I am even talking to myself via my blog, I hope I am not losing it. Anyway I spent the weekend shoveling out my driveway from the near 30 centimeters of snow that fell and believe it or not it really wasn't much fun, but what can you do. All I know is that spring is just around the corner and not only will that bring warmer weather but it also means the return of Toronto FC for their sophmore season. I will be kicking off Toronto FC's second season with about 2000 of my closest friends at Crew Stadium in Columbus Ohio on March 29th. This game is turning into a monumentus event......I bet this will be the largest contingent of MLS traveling supporters in the history of the league. Now I just hope that Toronto FC is able to match the enthusiasm and determination of its fans including the casual supporter and the rabid members of the various supporters groups. Last year Toronto FC finished last in the league and also managed to set a league redord for the longest time without a goal....not really the records you want to have in your trophy case. Let it be said though that Toronto FC did suffer from many many injuries last season so if the team can stay healthy this season a top third or middle of the pack finish is well with in their grasp. Obvioulsy I would love to see Toronto FC win their division and then go on to win the MLS Cup but I am a realist and it still may be a bit early for such lofty goals. Even though Toronto FC had a dismal first season there was a ray of sunshine shining through the storm clouds and that was MLS Rookie of the Year Maurice Edu.....better known as ProMo due to all the publicity work he did with the club and its official sponsor BMO Bank of Montreal. Edu had a stellar season playing along side Welsh international and Toronto FC co-captain Carl Robinson. I am personally looking to see Edu improve in the attacking third of the field this season not neccesarily with his goal scoring but with his playmaking. I would love for him to step and be the provider for Danny Dichio and Jeff Cunningham.
Anyway, regardless of how this season turns out I for one can't wait to be surrounded by my fellow Toronto FC suppoters all for one in voice when the reds go marching in!!!
