VMP Final Countdown: Number 1 – Sebastian Giovinco

Highest Ranking: 1 Lowest Ranking: 2 Average Ranking: 1.05 Mark: 1. What can only be described as a big money bust, Sebastian Giovinco made his debut in MLS this season to little fanfare and plenty of “who?”.  After struggling in Juventus for much of his professional career, he did what most past-their-prime players do, chase the money and head for the anonymity of North America.  Sebastian Giovinco struggled with his game all season,...

So MLS Cup happened.  To say that we here at the Vocal Minority were invested in this match, would be a loose definition of the word “invested”.  Sure, Toronto FC is in the league, and this is the league final, but to be fair this club is so far away from being a participant, it is a challenge to be truly invested.  Instead, we were more like interlopers. And we did what we only felt was necessary – had an...
