I feel that Seba really benefitted from playing against Mexican teams.
A great warmup for the next season is watching all 65 of Giovinco's goals in one video. It really stands out how difficult a lot of those goals were:

The reason Giovinco is not getting called up is the soon to be ex coach is terrible. Don't believe everything that you hear.
What I like about it especially are the tales of his childhood.
Seba's deadball skills:

The focus tends to be on former EPL players, Pirlo being an exception because of his legendary status on the Italian National team.
Very close to DeRo's record for TFC.
Look who just weighed in. It's been a while.
TFC is using this for marketing but isn't it great that they have someone on the pitch to marmarket around in instead of "come see those crazy supporters" that they used for the first few years.
Nemeth's defenders were much easier to defeat. They weren't as close and there was a misstep in there. Giovinco's defenders were beaten by his skills.

What does chicken dinner have to do with Seba?

Tie breaker is assists. Unless someone else scores a ridiculous number of goals, Giovinco has the Golden Boot.
No loan deals, good to read.
Mind you, he's already playing for Italy and doing a great job, there isn't the same motivation that some players have to keep a hand in Europe.
One thing I noticed in the slo-mo version is that he actually doesn't look when he hits the ball... only afterwards. It's like he knows where the goal is at all times.
So how many here have seen this goal 10 or more times? 20 or more times? It's hard not to keep looking at it!
Not only is that goal a likely candidate for goal of the year, but Giovinco is now tied with Kamara in the Golden Boot race.
That will really depend on the next media deal, too. It may not happen. Remember MLSE is owned by 2 media giants, so we have an exception to most of the rules.
Arguably he has been better due to playing for TFC. First he has a lot of playing time, secondly he has built up a tonne of confidence tearing up MLS.
That one calls for a Pope Francis (who is a football fan himself) facepalm:

Probably means Seba misses the October 14 match against RBNY
It's hard to know how much, guaranteed TFC will be offered silly money and refuse. Giovinco is worth more to TFC than to most teams in most leagues. He's a game-changer, and from a marketing...
The title of this thread may have seemed a bit premature in May, but Seba definitely seems to be in the conversation as the best MLS player ever:
