I'm just throwing this out there...Is Amado Guevara in MVP form?
From midfield, he has 5 goals and 4 assists in 10 games. As I mentioned in my match report from the win against the Revs, he's on pace for 15 goals and 12 assists. Now, I can be realistic and admit that he won't keep up that pace. The Gold Cup is coming up July and Honduras are still involved in World Cup Qualifying, so he's bound to miss some matches for us. We will miss him though - we'll miss him a lot.
I think he's quietly done his job this season. With the acquisition of Dwayne De Rosario, a lot of pressure has been lifted off of his shoulders, and you can see that he's flourishing in our midfield. The spotlight isn't really on him like it was last year. Last year he was supposed to be the engine of our offense, and we all remember our striking situation last season. It didn't all go so smoothly. This year though, Guevara has Barrett, Vitti, DeRo, and Dichio to work with, and he's linking up with them brilliantly. That "dressing room cancer" that everyone says he is hasn't come out onto the pitch once for TFC since he signed for us last spring.
Dwayne De Rosario may be the star of Toronto FC, but I think that Guevara deserves a bit more credit for what he's given us so far this season.
