Can this World Cup just hurry up and come. Everything seems so much easier when it's on. Except for finding time off work, of course.
In the meantime, tomorrow Toronto FC play the first leg of the Eastern Conference final in Columbus. Two matches to go before the redemption final. TFC are without two of the most influential players tomorrow. Jozy Altidore and Seba Giovinco are suspended. The silver lining: better to miss this match then the final. My favourite player of the season, Victor Vaquez, will probably step up in his normal calm, reassuring way and take control.
Vazquez has been a revelation since he came here. The former Barcelona player, has been the perfect link between the terrific TFC triumvirate: Michael Bradley can concentrate more on being the perfect defensive midfielder, Giovinco can work his magic all over the front third of the pitch and Altidore can be the powerhouse centre forward. Vazquez sits in between Bradley and Giovinco and adds a huge amount of vision and calm, unemotional creativity. He has been a joy to watch, even the way he talks to the younger players on the pitch.
