“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
Gilberto has not maintained a consistant finishing rate in Brazil. He's had one spell of great form that lasted two months last fall in a league not known for great defending or physical play.
IMO that spot is up for grabs and Dike should offer more combination play and balances out the attack better.
Hey, once we get to the playoffs anything is possible.
For me, I'd be happy just to no longer be the Wost Team in the World (TM), and make it to the second round of the playoffs.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I bet we are so good this year, that FIFA makes an exception just for us, so we can play in the UEFA Champions League. Also, they will give us a bye to the final. Let the rest of the football world fight over who gets the honour of losing to us.
Also, TFC will secede from Canada and become it's own nation state, so it can compete in the World Cup... where we will get another bye to the final. Jermain Defoe will be elected the first President of BMOistan.

“Heroism breaks its heart, and idealism its back, on the intransigence of the credulous and the mediocre, manipulated by the cynical and the corrupt.” ~Christopher Hitchens

Back in 1968, the fog was thick at Anfield, when Liverpool scored a goal at the Anfield Road end. The Kop, who may have been able to just see the centre circle, sang out "Who Scored the Goal" and the Anny Road end sang back "Tony Hateley, Tony Hateley".
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
