VMP 2016 Final Countdown #28: Malik Johnson
Hello and welcome to this year’s VMP Final Countdown! With the off season being so short it’s come a bit later than usual, but hey we hear at the Vocal Minority are committed to giving you our dear readers the player rundowns that you’ve come to love.

TFC Player Final Countdown: 2016 Edition
Well sports fans another Toronto FC season has come to an end, and wow, what a crazy season! It feels rather odd to have TFC’s off season begin in December, and well into December at that.
