    Default The Lorenzo Insigne Thread

    “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

    Quiz time: how many pages long was the Giovinco thread 12 days after he was signed in 2015? (No looking!)

    Going to guess 4-5. These boards are not what they were back then.

    so Insigne feels good enough to confirm he'll do some kicking of the soccer ball at the all star game.

    Wow. Time are changing though, back then Giovinco coming to MLS was a really, really big deal just behind Beckham.

    Insigne is still another evolution for MLS, however we are regularly seeing near his level of caliber joining the league.

    Wow...800+ posts

    Seba wasn't our first big deal but he felt like our first motivated big deal.

    Part of me wonders if winning 2017 & then the flameout afterwards has cut interest a bit.

    Loving TFC when they were only ever losers seemed easier somehow.

    I hope not - honestly he hasn't done enough in MLS to warrant that without even having played for his MLS club yet.

    He technically isn't playing in the all star game, just in the skills competition.

    The kids they showed are the ones I expect to be around and yes, I think Insigne will be a huge positive influence on them.

    Yeah seems strange. why would he have been in LA? Plus he had dyed his hair in that post we saw yesterday, could have done that after meeting him obviously..
    Also two days ago some relatives ran into Lorenzo and talked to him for a few minutes and I believe they said they were in Mississauga at the time. Would have been a quick trip to LA..bizarre but cool that they met

    It was at Caribana not LA. There was a lot of social media showing him around T.O last weekend. People just assumed that because "Why would LeBron ever go to Canadur?"

    If you follow Criscito or LA (or LA's wife) on Instagram, they've been seeing all the sites in Ontario. They've been to Wonderland, Niagara Falls, Ripleys, CN Tower Restaurant and an indoor trampoline park. Not to mention a lot of Yorkville restaurants. They seem to be having a good time.

    Now if Criscito had done this to have Insigne shake Lebron's hand.
    That Insta would be priceless.
