Mornin'


We have a winner
Ryan Johnston

Why would a four-time MLS Cup winner want to play in a city of losers?
I say this in partial jest as on a day when one of the Toronto sports dailies launched an unmitigated attack (http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090121.wsptblair21/GSStory/GlobeSportsHockey/JEFF+BLAIR) on the city's trio of professional losers, the excluded fourth professional team showcased exactly why it avoided being painted with the blue & white (and purple) brush.
(As an aside, isn't it irritating that the off-beat timing of Mo Johnston always pans out in his favour?)

TORONTO -- As the most decorated Canadian player in Major League Soccer history, Dwayne De Rosario inevitably had to face the "would you like to play for Toronto FC?" question whenever he visited Toronto as a member of the Houston Dynamo.

De Rosario signs four-year deal with Toronto
LARRY MILLSON

TORONTO — Dwayne De Rosario recalled yesterday how his trade to Toronto FC from the Houston Dynamo came about — he asked for it.
The midfielder from Toronto and Major League Soccer all-star has a good relationship with Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear, and after last season he made his request.
"I called Dom and said, 'I kind of feel like now is the right time to go back home,' " De Rosario said yesterday after a media conference. "He's a good friend of mine and he was open to what I had to say. And after that he said, 'Let me think about it.' "

`A dream come true' for De Rosario
Scarborough native `looking forward to bringing my winning ways' to Toronto FC

Daniel Girard

He's scored highlight-reel goals, dazzled fans with his ball-handling skills and excelled in big games.
Now, Dwayne De Rosario, arguably Canada's best soccer player, is a member of Toronto FC.
"It's a dream come true to play in front of my fans, my family and my hometown," De Rosario, a Scarborough native, said yesterday after inking a four-year deal with the Major League Soccer team.

De Rosario completes 'dream' move to Toronto FC

Toronto FC finally got their man.
The Major League Soccer team officially signed Dwayne De Rosario to a four-year contract on Thursday, bringing to an end the club's two-year chase of the star Canadian midfielder.
Toronto acquired De Rosario, a native of Scarborough, Ont., who began his pro career as a member of the semi-pro team Toronto Lynx in 1997, in a trade with the Houston Dynamo last month, but held off on unveiling him to the public until they signed the veteran midfielder to a contract extension — his new contract replaces the two-year deal he had with the club.

Toronto FC adds 2 years to De Rosario's contract
THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto FC have signed newly acquired Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario to a new four-year contract.
The 30-year-old attacking midfielder joined Toronto in a trade from the Houston Dynamo last month that sent young defender Julius James and allocation money the other way.

De Rosario intends on keeping streak alive
Tfc's New Addition; MLS star sniper has yet to miss the post-season

Goaltender? Sure, he would do it. Dwayne De Rosario will play anywhere his coach asks him to. He just wants to make a good first impression and get Toronto FC and its rabid fan base to Major League Soccer's playoff promised land for the first time in franchise history.
The Scarborough, Ont., native grew up scoring buckets of goals and terrorizing defenders all over the Greater Toronto Area, but he would happily make the switch from mid-field sniper to rookie stopper.

Thank god it's Fiday!

The energy drinks get to play one more season with the "throw ball" lines on the field... big surprize!

[ensco]

Not one reporter asked him about the plastic, even though DeRo slagged it last year.

None of these guys know anything about TFC or Canadian soccer. Plus they're lazy - do a news search before going to the press conference.

Frustrating.

[Lucky Strike]

These articles about DeRo coming home feel good to read. I am concerned though that the Vitti deal will blow up in our faces.

P.S. Whoever took the picture for the NP probably ought to get fired or something, lol.

Actaully Dobson asked him about it in an interview yesterday...but it is sad that it wasn't a top question to ask since DeRo has been so vocal about it.

It's great that all the DeRo stuff is now out of the way.

Glad the Sun realized that their readers aren't blind and made an effort to step up the quality of SSG this week.

I read the story but hadn't watched that video. Thanks for the heads up.

Dobson did touch on all the major issues there, so he's the only reporter that did. No surprise given that, like him or hate him, he has vastly more Canadian soccer reporting experience than any other reporter for a major outlet right now.

Glad to see that DeRo's held his ground re grass.

Also fascinating about the number - he wants that number 14 bad, I think!

[werewolf]

I understand the reporters wanted to keep it on topic, however I DeRo mentioned "Canadian soccer" a few times, and no one asked him about the national team.

Maybe his Red, White and Black reference was him rejoining the National Squad.

This is more ground breaking news. We have been waiting one month for DeRo, we have been waiting months for a decent SSG!
Lets focus on what really affects the team here guys :p

[Oldtimer]

All of the articles show the good side of MLSE's power. Their connection with the media.

Realistically, one would expect a team that's watched by 63,000 people on television to have coverage more like the Toronto Rock Lacrosse team. However, when MLSE calls, the media comes.

DeRo had better be prepared. His career will now be played with more media and fan expectations than he has ever experienced before.

Look, I'm sorry to be the one who has to tell you this, but you're in strict violation of the "MLSE is the devil" bylaw of these forums. Maybe if you could reword that first sentence to something like "MLSE is an evil corporation and must have held the reporters' loved ones hostage in order to ensure their turnout, plus they totally only got those reporters there to sell their own product, which is really wrong to do, because as anyone knows trying to sell something is immoral" it would be better.

Really what this shows is the potential of soccer in North America. Even the media are reluctantly coming around to the reality that it's going to keep growing.

I like lacrosse, my kids play it and Rock games are a lot of fun, but it's about as big a sport as it's going to be.

Those 63,000 viewers for soccer games are only the beginning, that's the difference.

So...other than his name - what did he write? (if anything)

[Oldtimer]

Now... a more negative article (should keep Giambac and others happy):


Nobody can accuse Toronto's professional teams of not being able to create a big splash.
Here's hoping the latest splash doesn't end up where so many before it have -- in the sewer.
Jason Blake was supposed to goose the Leafs' offence. Kerry Joseph was supposed to be the Argonauts' shining star and Scott Rolen was going to give the Blue Jays punch. Everybody knows how well those turned out.
"It's the biggest signing TFC is going to make in the next three, four years," Toronto FC general manager Mo Johnston said after Dwayne De Rosario signed a four-year contract to return to his hometown. "I've been trying to get Dwayne for two years. This is a proud moment."
This turned into a Cinderfella story. De Rosario was introduced at a packed news conference that had TV and camera lights a-poppin' with Obamania frequency.
Then came a fan reception. Outside the Air Canada Centre, fans clustered hoping for an autograph. Inside, the accolades flowed.



"With the quality we've added, we should make the playoffs," Carver said.
They better. Both Carver and Johnston's jobs could well depend on it. With the team heading into its third season, fans are no longer willing just to watch a team. They are starting to demand a winning team.

Ouch! A bit of a generalization, don't you think? Considering the likes of Nigel Reed, Ben Knight, myself and several other knowledgeable soccer scribes were there.

I asked him about it in the one-on-ones after the presser, but he didn't really have anything interesting to say about it, which is why I didn't include it in my piece.

yesterday, the story was about him coming home to play. I suspect Dero and the plastic pitch stories will surface once he plays his first game on it as a member of the team.

just my 2 cents.

Now... a more negative article (should keep Giambac and others happy):





http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1400602


hahah.

I can't believe he's comparing Jason Blake, Kerry Joseph, and Scott Rolen to De Rosario. De Rosario has done much more in MLS than those guys have done in their respective league. Oh well, not all journalists are knowledgeable about soccer.

[Roogsy]

^ Sheesh...DeRo isn't Jason Blake.

This is a signing that HAD to happen...and Mo made it happen.

That really is a negative article. The DeRo signing is already paying dividends that the Blake signing never could. And if the team doesn't make the playoffs...I don't think we could look back at THIS signing as a mistake. I would be shocked if we did.

[Beach_Red]

^ Yeah, I forget, how many "Goals of the Year" did Blake score on his way to the four Championships?

[Parkdale]

So...other than his name - what did he write? (if anything)

Can't agree with you on this one Techno.
While I can't help but covit the Red Bulls new stadium I think its a disservice to the league as a whole dancing to the tune of their misfortunes.
That stadium is a big step in showing foreign players that the league and team ownerships are starting to make serious attempts at giving fans a better environment and players a proper facility to apply their trade.
An extra half season of us having to watch the teams playing games on an artifical turf covered in pointy ball lines does nobody any good.
Now having said all that.... the Red Bulls are shite! :canada:

And despite that 10 goals and 19 points in his last 20 games.
What a bum. *shakes head in disbelief*

[Hitcho]

"In those words is why the two-time MLS Cup MVP is here: Winners love a challenge."

Amen to that. I really think Dwayne will drag us forward through his attitude and experience alone, nevermind the huge amounts of skill he can offer to boot.

You can see it in his response to the Dobson question re the shirt number as well: "but whatever number I get, I'll wear that number out and you better believe I'll put my heart and soul behind that number."

Amen to that too.

From that comment, I had to push the Designated Player issue once again...

Blake is a fine player, it wasn't personal.

And for me, I'm just tired of hearing about the Leafs and it bugs me when they get brought up even in an article about TFC. So, it's more the media and their Leaf-obsession that gets me.

(hey, I still remember when the mdeia here was pushing Doug Gilmour for MVP - remember who actually won it that year?)

John:

I generally like your work and appreciate what the CBC is doing for TFC. I apologize for perhaps being insulting in my comment, which is uncalled for. Please allow me to re-state what I was trying to say.

I'm very surprised that you didn't "press" him on it, or report on it. The media wear a lot of hats in life, and one of them is to keep the klieg lights on what is important. The fact that maybe DeRo wanted to duck this issue, is no excuse.

There is a widely held view (one that I know many people in the media share) that TFC's ability to attract fans and players is severely affected by the fieldturf. It's probably the single biggest issue around the team.

DeRo (and JdG) were the public face of CMNT unhappiness with the BMO turf last summer. Mo pledged last year that he would try to get the Edu transfer funds used for grass at BMO.

It's inconceivable to me that you had DeRo (and Mo) in front of the press for an extended period, and nobody thought it was worth pursuing.

[johnmolinaro]

No need to apologize.

I don't think anybody thought, myself included, that it wasn't worth pursing - it's just that yesterday's story and focus was on him signing with the club. Try to remember we all have editors to answer to, and often times we are under orders they want us to write certain stories at certain times.

Those other issues you raised are quite valid and I can assure you they will be dealt with in due course. Dero isn't going anywhere, so there's going to be plenty of chances for us in the media to grill him about them.

98% of the newspaper industry has always bitten ass. It's frustrating though, I'll agree, when they're covering something you care about.

It's not really laziness, it's apathy.

Really? It's unfortunate that you feel that way because like it or not, having a strong team in NY is good for this league. We need NYRB to fill their stadium and attract interest in the largest US market if MLS is to succeed going forward.

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) announced Friday that it has entered an agreement to purchase Insight Sports Ltd's ownership in GolTV Canada. The purchase, made by one of MLSE's affiliate companies, will see Canada's premier sports and entertainment organization acquire an 80.1 per cent stake in the 24-hour soccer network. The transaction will require CRTC approval.
