TFCTeens!

Hey guys, as part of my class, I've started a blog of sorts.

http://tfcteens.blogspot.com/

Here's a little bit from my first post, about everyone's favorite new right back, Dan Gargan, and what his signing means for the direction of this team.

"Dan Gargan is no Dwayne De Rosario. He doesn’t score goals, doesn’t carry the team on his shoulders, doesn’t have those blistering, “Marvell”-ous runs which made Wynne so popular, and, as a personality, isn’t over the top or Antonio Cassano-like either. He is very ordinary. It is this normality which makes him relatable. Let’s be realistic, at one point, Toronto FC seemed like the Justice League; You had Marvell Wynne as the speedy Flash, Amado Guevara as the moody, often silent but deadly Batman, and even Adrian Serioux as the resident Superman, who, ironically, ended his career here due to “Neck Injury.” Sounds too much like Superman’s “accident” if you know what I mean."

If you'd like to read more, head on over and feel free to leave a comment. My dream job right now is writing for TFC, so I figure this is the first big step. If you have any tips or recommendations I'd be really grateful. Thanks, and enjoy!

is this a high school class? which one if so?
I liked it, just wanted to point out you titled it Unleashing The Gargan but then threw in the chant "release the gargan"
Not such a huge deal, just wanted to point it out
Good post though.

"But wait, there’s two others in the justice league, you say? Well, Wonder Women is probably the Scott’s girl...and let’s be realistic, no one cares for the Green Lantern anyways"

hahaha!

Good luck, man. I blogged about TFC when I was in high school as well. Just don't try to interview any players, Michelle Lissel will shut you down.

It's High School grade 12 writers craft. I figure I'll go to Ryerson afterwards.

I tried getting in contact with Doneil Henry, I have a couple friends in the TFC Academy, so far no luck.

You're in high school and you're bald? Tough break dude.

I hate teenagers. They loiter too much.

[ArmenJBX]

I will loiter extra hard just because you hate it then

[Chevy]

I miss my grand ol' loiterin' days.

Not a horrible idea if you ask me

The Pursuit of the Playoff Dream

"Away form has been an issue for as long as I can remember. Today, Toronto FC must fight the Fire with our own brand of red flame. If not, we may see Toronto limp their way to a 10th place finish, with calls for the ol’ revolving door to start spinning again."

My take on tonight's game!

Feel free to comment!

Like how Bruce Wayne uses Batman, everyone knows of his incident with bats when he was little, no one would expect it.

[ArmenJBX]

Exactly!

Exactly what I was thinking.

What are you going to Ryerson for? My girlfriend is finishing up her journalism degree this year there.

[ArmenJBX]

Journalism as well, or at least, that's the plan!

Learning from Maicon Santos

"Maicon Santos is what the other players on this team need to become, or at least try to become. Peterson gets the ball in a good, offensive position. He takes a few steps back, gives up, passes to Gargan. On the other hand, Maicon gets the ball in a good, offensive position. He takes a look, runs towards the defender and takes him head on, in the most unbrazilian way possible. It’s ironic, but if it works, it works. The other players, specifically, those in the midfield, need to watch Maicon and learn."

[CanadaLFC]

Will look forward to seeing you at some ryerson frosh events next year.

Looking at the Numbers

"There’s still a good chance that Toronto FC can make playoffs this season. A couple of scenarios should be considered. If Toronto wins 5 games, they make it no matter what the other 2 games produce. If Toronto wins 4 games, it would take a further 2 draws. If Toronto wins only 3 games, the other 4 need to be draws, at even then we’re at 67%. So, what number should Toronto FC fans dream about as they go to sleep in their downtown condos? 42. 42 points will give Toronto FC an almost 80% chance of making playoffs. 43 means Toronto has a 90% chance, and 44%+ means we’re in."

Today, I summarize Toronto FC's playoff chances! If you want to read more, just click the link and don't forget to comment!

What's wrong with that?

At a time like this we must look to the children. They are our future.

Consequences Will Never Be The Same

"Toronto FC’s loss to DC United once again showed its loyal fans just how woefully inconsistent our little red club really is. Reminiscent to last year’s 5-0 thumping by last places New York Red Bulls, Toronto FC’s underperformance against a weak and limping DC United squad just shows that when push comes to shove, Toronto gets knocked down to the floor."

[ArmenJBX]

The Whirlwind

"De Rosario and de Guzman’s reactions tell a deeper, darker story. Hinting that Preki had lost the room, De Rosario’s character has now been called into question; certainly he is no longer the do-no-wrong kinda guy Toronto FC fans have been enjoying. His lack of goals and pace has been coupled with new revelations that De Rosario may not be happy at Toronto or may not be a good team player."

[Dv23]

Good work on the blog man. I loved Writer's Craft when I took it two years ago. Weird that you have blogs for yours as well. Maybe you go to the same school that I did. In any case, keep it up brother!

[ArmenJBX]

Double Leafs All The Way!

"Ultimately, Adrian Cann and Ty Harden were the kind of players Preki was trying to build a squad with, and unfortunately it looks like Preki’s work was cut a little short. Another season under Preki may have solidified the defense and shored up the midfield with a plethora of utility players and journeymen, who can finally find themselves a home, like Dan Gargan and Ty Harden did."

As always, enjoy and feel free to comment!
