VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 25 – Oyvind Alseth
Highest: 21 Lowest: 26 Average ranking: 24.71 Tony: 26 – One of the Too 10 Norwegians in TFC history. Fact. There really is no fun (nor interest) in an in-depth review of Oyvind Alseth. It was so exciting to finally have a Norweege on TFC but then, much like a Norwegian comedy club, applause was very limited. Instead – here are the first couple of paragraphs from Norwegian supergroup A-ha’s Wikipedia entry edited to reflect...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 26 – Ben Spencer
Highest: 22 Lowest: 27 Average ranking: 24.95 Kristin: 25 – Big Ben Spencer! Damn it Ben, we had a song for when you scored, and it was a good song! And now you’ll never hear it. But it was good.

All of the entries (thank you...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #1: Jozy Altidore
Mark: 1 – Quite the tale of two halves and I’m a sucker for a redemption story. On May 15th, a game against Vancouver, the version of Jozy Altidore, the one that was brutal and had the “press” coming to his defense, hit a new low. Perhaps even a bottom. Goal drought, down by two, gets a penalty saved then pulls up lame and while he was off the pitch and Babouli waiting to be announced as his substitute, Toronto pulls one...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #2: Sebastian Giovinco
Duncan: 2 – Didn’t really get a lot of support for various tactical reasons through the long away trip and the mid summer patch where everyone else was injured but generally still kept playing well, scoring goals and doing his Seba things. Eventually seemed to wear him down and towards the end of the season and after his injury into the playoffs seemed to get frustrated a lot easier than usual. Whether he wasn’t...
