If he stays healthy, happy, and for his whole deal then he'll be kicking at Donovan's doorstep for that title.

He is incredible. It is a joy to watch him play and it is nice to be excited to go to matches again because you know he'll put on a show. Hopefully he doesn't leave next season for a swap with Verona.
I've had seasons since day one and not seen the likes of this. He appears to be a true "Jack be nimble" and he just runs about jumping over candlesticks. Kick start Jozy on a 7 game road trip? Sure. Do it by yourself? Sure. Im in 225 i've started shouting "you know you cant stop him" at the oppo right back.
He has to stay motivated though its a small sample size. If he was just De-motivated in Juve this guy may well be far too good for us. Nice.
Everyone is clearly overlooking the defensive prowess of Adam Braz.
But my god we are lucky. With a bit of momentum we might even get back some of the thousands who gave up on TFc after a years of ineptitude.
MLS staff considers Giovinco #2 in the league currently. That's pretty far from #1 of all-time.

However, he could someday get there.
Would be epic if they could get Pirlo to play with him, but wont happen :(
Giovinco's 2nd Goal vs DC United

Giovinco is the best player to ever play in MLS.
Giovinco is certainly on one of the best runs of any player since I started watching MLS. Maybe the best.
Schelotto had a stretch like this the year Columbus won the MLS Cup. He is really the only MLS guy I can think of who had the whole game at his feet the way Giovinco does, except Gio is scoring more than he did.

“He’s just a different type of player,” added Fabian Espindola, speaking in a Spanish-language interview. "Honestly, today, he earned those three points for Toronto. His involvement in the game was the difference - nothing else the team did really gave us any trouble. He was the difference."
Surprised the Atomic Ant thing hasnt been marketed more.
Dear Red Patch Boys
You have developed many great songs and cheers for us at BMO field. I would ask that you develop a new song for Giovinco to the tune of Volare. The lyrics for the song in English are as follows:
Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Possible opening lines
Giovinco Oh Oh
Fantastico Oh Oh Oh OH
......
why translate it at all? Im pretty sure ppl can figure out formica atomica
We figured out panini as a society, I think we can figure this one out
FWIW,

@KurtLarSUN their defensive structure through midfield is so good since the formation switch. Good team even w/o Giovinco IMO.
ESPN is now calling him the "best in the league." "Best of all time" is still a conversation to be had down the road.
Without Giovinco, we are still a decent squad, but let's be honest...He has been the difference so far this season.
Yup, makes it a lot easier to defend when your team isn't worried about having to push a lil more to score goals....With Gio, they give the ball to him and when he is in the box, pure leathal
Giovinco named MLS player of the week for 2nd week in a row. First time ever for a TFC player
