So Long Gil – This Is Your Time To Shine! TFC Loan Gilberto to Vasco da Gama
To paraphrase the Just For Laughs guy: ‘Mommy! It’s Over!’, so ends the all too short time of Gilberto here at Toronto FC. Sigh. Ol Gil we called him – not because he was poor, not because we didn’t like him; no that sobriquet came from our Simpsons corrupted collective minds as a nod to…

Sponsors and armbands and mascots? Yes, they matter.
For those of you who enjoy (genuinely, ironically, snarkily, however you like) the more esoteric sideshow attraction aspects of football, the side dishes and condiments to the fat steak of the actual game itself, it’s been a fantastic week or so to follow TFC, practically headspinning as the hits have just kept on coming.
