I think Carlos Vela’s season will go down as the best in MLS and legitimately better then prime Giovinco which is insane
He's pretty much certain to smash Giovinco's goal + assist single season record. I think you do have to qualify it though by the fact that he's playing on the best team in the league that is routinely dominant and running up the score. Giovinco's best season was on a very mediocre 2015 TFC where offensively I would argue he had to do more with less than Vela this year. Not to downplay Vela at all who is having an unbelievable year.
I remember watching him play in the last World Cup (I think against Brazil) and thinking “this guy might be playing like the best player on the field today”
I’m legitimately in shock he plays here. Not sure why he never seemed to settle in Europe.
In another crazy version of reality where a few more things go his way we might have talked about this guy as the best Mexican player since Rafa Marquez, or heck, even better.
Seba in the starting lineup for Al-Hilal's Champions League game. Guess we can put to rest any doubt now.
So what was Seba's reaction to having his record surpassed so soon?

I really miss this.
Serie A team interested in Seba:
https://torontosun.com/sports/soccer...-at-atomic-ant
Seba posted a picture on Instagram today, with his son, caption "1st day of 1st grade." English sign about parking in the back. Background doesn't look like Saudi Arabia or Italy. Can somebody figure out where this is? I'm wondering if the family is continuing to stay in the Toronto area? His kid starting school here, that would be quite interesting.
Thanks! I wouldn't want to dox his kid, although with Seba posting that, he's obviously not worried. What interests me is that it's in Toronto!

There is a difference between what you can do and what you should do.
I hope the mods delete all the references to the school. There is just no reason to disclose this, even if it can be derived.

Is doxing not related to illegally obtained private info that has been revealed ie wikileaks. in this day and age where everyone or at least a lot have a social/digital media foot print its an interesting conversation? A lot of information is being put out there by the person directly.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Thanks Oldtimer.

The fact that Seba “put out” a lot of info isn’t quite right. He may just be an excited dad who in the moment forgot to be careful, and/or maybe a tiny bit naive about social media, same as most of us were for a long time.
I think it's a mistake that he disclosed anything about where his son goes to school, why amplify the mistake?
Whether it's “doxxing” or whatever, I think this isn’t about whether this is legal or not, it's more about who you are, and who you want to be.
What matters is that Seba's family stayed and his son goes to school here. The details aren’t important and could cause harm.

Seba didn't say "my son attends 'X' school," so he didn't intend to reveal that information (whether or not enough clues came through unintentionally for those in the know). That's enough. It's not about the technical definition of "doxxing," it's about not putting his family at risk.
Agreed, there’s really no reason why anything specific needs to be revealed. His family still has some roots here and his kid is attending school in Toronto... think that’s good enough
this is incorrect.
Pull the information, fine. But you cant say what he did or didnt intend to reveal. He posted a picture in uniform. There's also nothing credible to say that anything put his family at risk.
I think AG football said it best.
But man, we think a lot of ourselves here.
