After a break-out second season with Toronto FC, Marvell Wynne is looking to pick up where he left off in 2008. Becoming more of a regular fixture with the U.S. National Team, Wynne enjoyed one of his most memorable moments of 2008 having been selected to the Men's Olympic Team that competed in Beijing. At times throughout the season, he was asked to play a more offensive role for the team moving to the right side of midfield instead of his usual place on the back line. With his lightning pace he was a handful for opponents and in the process found his "offensive" side scoring his first goal in MLS in September. Fans, as well as the coaching staff will be anxious to see what he can produce in 2009.
