Something to occupy the mind on this cold day:

Year two of the prestigious (*cough*) 24th Minute awards! (http://www.24thminute.com/2009/12/24th-minute-awards-year-2.html)

Debate, discuss and give me feedback...do you agree, disagree or assume I’m on some type of narcotic...

Starting with:

The 'Who are Ya?' award (http://www.24thminute.com/2009/12/24th-minute-awards-who-are-ya-award.html)

nice call on the Hoser award. Despite the accent, and his affinity for impractical jackets that no self respecting Canadian would ever wear, he's easily the most "keep you head down and your stick on the ice" kind of player we've ever had.

By the way, the Simeon Jackson goal was a great pick, posted it on the blog as an anon. Just wanted to make it clear, I approve.

Just looking at the the Obrien White goal, omg TFC played possession football with like 10 passes leading to the goal. Why can't the team do this on consistent basis! ARRRRGH! That Chad Barrett strike is just ridiculous. For someone who sucks at finishing, he sure has couple of really memorable goals. (remember that freekick against Colorado?)

Funny. Before I even read this I was on the Gillingham website this morning pricing out a Simeon Jackson #10 jersey. I know very little about the team, but ever since I saw him play a few times for Canada this summer I've been really impressed. Good Canadian talent who deserves recognition.

generally it's opinion pieces in the TFC section, and news releases or opinions from published sources in the News Section.

In light of the USSF decision not to sanction NASL/USL for 2010, I'll be continuing these tomorrow.

Chasing the story now.

As I just wrote on the 24th minute website, re TFC goal of the year:

Agreed that Barrett's goal was amazing, but it was a bit of a fluke. As Barrett mentioned himself in an interview, his first touch was a bit off, not quite putting the ball where he expected. That forced him to volley the ball, and prevented him from overthinking like he usually does.

However, I think that OBW's goal deserves the top honour. Amazing shot from OBW, and amazing assist from DeRo. But more than that, it was the beautiful team play before that which really makes the goal top-notch. Twelve, (that's 12!!) short passes by TFC, starting with Wynne's steal. 7 of the 12 were one-touch passes. And all those passes were on the carpet, except the final assist, where the looping ball was perfect.

Preki & the boys, more of THAT please, thanks!!!!
