    Default O'Dea living the Canadian dream

    http://www.irishpost.co.uk/index.php...canadian-dream

    Improved quality of life with low pressure should be on every brochure TFC hands out to potential players

    Good to know that he's loving life in Toronto, just like many of our international players
    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    -Eduardo Galeano

    I like O'dea and willing to give him next season under (hopefully) a new manager to see what he can do. Also with proper support around him playing their proper positions.

    Though that Germany match didn't go so well eh.

    Nice to know he's enjoying life in Toronto. I personally think he isn't worth what he's getting paid (takes up too much cap space).

    Other benefits have included the touristy stuff, a day-trip to Niagara Falls, a night out with his teammates at the ball park, a plan to hit New York for the Christmas shopping. All of which is fine from a lifestyle perspective but cuts little ice with the Irish fan whose only concern is to see his team win. And with Richard Dunne out of the Germany clash, O’Dea is now the central character in the international team.
    I just hope he can get his football shit together when it comes time to play footie.
    I've been 50/50 on this guy so far, but will give him the benefit of the doubt until next season.
