O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever

I’m Sorry DeRo
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...im-sorry-dero/
I make a heartfelt apology to Dwayne De Rosario and welcome him back home to Toronto FC.
I spoke with Dwayne De Rosario and with Jordan Hamilton today, here's the article:
http://rednationonline.ca/Articles20...nHamilton.aspx
"I want to learn from all the experienced players, try to break into the starting 11 or A-team, just do my best," said Hamilton. "I'm an attacker, out and out, I score goals, that's my job. I can play anywhere along the front and I'm just going to work my hardest for the team."
"If we want to be taken seriously in terms of the national team level, it's important that we start raising our own, developing our own and taking care of our own,” said De Rosario. “I’m sick of seeing Canadians going across seas to get recognized and then being appreciated at home. I think it’s time we step up as Canadians and make our own people feel at home and stay at home and reward them for their achievements.”
"A lot of them know, Kyle Bekker and those guys, they know I'm a winner and I'm competitive so they better be ready because I'm coming in, crackin' the whip!" - De Rosario

Defoe & Bradley Join TFC
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...dley-join-tfc/
Thoughts on the arrival to Toronto FC of Michael Bradley and Jermaine Defoe and how a renewed sense of credibility for the club has come along with them.
Spoke with Tim Bezbatchenko and Tim Leiweke at yesterday's news conference, on Alberto Gilardino, Matias Laba, the SuperDraft and the star signings:

“We spent a lot of time down in Italy, we spent a lot of time talking to clubs and players in Italy, and I have great respect for Gilardino,” said Leiweke. “I think he’s a beautiful, fantastic player and a great striker, a great finisher.”
“I think our goal here eventually is to find the right Italian player to come join us,” said Leiweke.
“Time will ultimately reward us for the efforts and relationships we’re currently doing with the Serie A clubs,” said Leiweke. “And although it was a little disappointing, because we’d love to have [Gilardino], obviously we’re in a situation where we can only have three DPs.”
“Matias is an exceptional player, so we’re going to do everything we can to keep him, but we’re going to continue to evaluate our roster,” said Bezbatchenko. “We’re working with the league on that, we’ll go from here. We have some time.”

RNO caught up with Danny Dichio to discuss the upcoming coaching conference, but also his role with TFCA and changes at the club
RNO INTERVIEW SERIES: DANNY DICHIO
As well Steve Bottjer caught up with Nana Attakora as he's moved to DC United. A few interesting tidbits on how he felt he should have signed on with a German club (I think it was Union Berlin IIRC) but sounds happy where he's at right now.
