i think he should stick around on the roster next year.. forget this retirement stuff.
even if it's just as a super sub.
I am starting to think the same thing.
I am sure he is taking it one year at a time.
Why not, he's playing well, is a treat to watch & scares the shit outta the opposition
ONE MORE YEAR!
Come on Danny...do it.
I bet he'd be a good sweeper as well
Great videos on his site !
" What he was thinking when he was celebrating "
" Does he have a seat cushion "
AND
" Does he sing along with the fans"
That's be a great thing to chant at the games.
Now .. can he play for our national team?
I believe Dichio declared for England and unless he reverts back to amateur status, he cannot play for CanadaNow .. can he play for our national team?
Haha and people worry about our defence now giving up penalties and getting sent off
Does he live in Thornhill?
I believe his would be in the position of being counted as domestic player as he now has status in Canada that is unrelated to the fact he is playing for TFC. Danny has never capped for England at the senior level, so playing for the Red and White might be something that could happen.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Doesn't matter who you declare for.
I declared (just now) for the Belgian squad. But since there's not a rat's chance in Hell that they'll actually select me (which is what counts), I'm still eligible to play for Canada or England too.
i thought you had to pick which country you want to play for when you turn 21 with governing body?Doesn't matter who you declare for.

He's not a citizen though....how does he count as domestic?congrats Danny!!!

Danny Dichio breathes Fire
You do... but you can change that all you want until you're actually selected.
A domestic player is one who does not need a work visa to work in that country. For example, a Honduran holding a Green Card is considered a domestic player for US purposes (ie... Amado Guevara). A permanent resident is considered a domestic player for Canadian purposes.
Anyone remember the reaction on these boards when Dichio was signed?
We'd played three of the worst games in soccer history, zero goals for, 9 goals against. Mo signs Dichio, and this board goes nuts. 75% of the comments were along the lines of "Dichio's a useless, never-was has-been who can't get on the field at Preston".
He comes out on the field against KC and there was something about him, we just knew it. He picked up two hard fouls in the first 5 minutes of that first game at BMO. You just knew - that is what a football player looks like.
And it still feels that way.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
i love dichio
but i think he should call it quits at the end of the year.
open up our cap space, and have him begin his coaching career.
Last thing you cant to see is him seriously hurt b/c he decided to play one more year. He has a family and future to think of
Ok, that makes more sense now...
he doesn't take up that much cap space. and if the cap goes up after the CBA negotiations, he's taking up even less space. 100K or so for him (around 4% of the cap) isn't a problem.
