TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
“I had my best season in soccer in the 4-4-2,” Koevermans told MLSsoccer.com. “I’m familiar with the system.”
He's referring to his 22-goal haul in the 2006-07 edition of the Dutch Eredivisie, during which he starred for PSV Eindhoven under Louis van Gaal, a campaign that also earned him a call-up to the Dutch national team.
Is it really that difficult for these MLS writers to look up what team what player played for in what year? Koevermans played for AZ from 2005-2007, not PSV. It was there that he scored 22 goals in a season under LvG. As far as I'm aware Van Gaal has never even coached PSV.
We'll see tonight if the 4-4-2 system that we play is anything like something that Koevermans has played before. I have my doubts that AZ played kick-ball that season. That's not Van Gaal's style
My favourite quote from the G&M Davidson piece...
I guess we won't see Kenny Cooper join our team anytime soon.Parents may not want to bring small children to Toronto FC practices. The language is colourful and blunt.
“It’s just the way I roll,” Mariner said of his high-energy approach. “That’s my MO (modus operandi). Either you like it or you don’t like it.”
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports

Our new coach and KD will get along quite well I guess

Thats why bloggers have my respect, they atleast care about the sport they are covering and most of the time have factual information correct.Originally Posted by Ajax TFC
