Strait Red 1,360 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Nice show of strength to muscle the Revs CB off the ball to score. Edited October 8, 2020 by Strait Red johnyb and N1ckbr0wn 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Great goal, but the first thing I thought was no way it would stand in CONCACAF - the defender would be rolling on the ground and ref would call a foul.

That was first thought, it would be called a foul by any central american ref in Concacaf and any qualifying match played south of the US with a full stadium. Link to post Share on other sites
jordan 3,263 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Well if we had an American ref named Nima Saghafi for a Concacaf match it may stand 21 minutes ago, TOcanadafan said: Great goal, but the first thing I thought was no way it would stand in CONCACAF - the defender would be rolling on the ground and ref would call a foul.

Shway 2,944 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It was absolutely a foul. How it wasn’t is beyond me. You can’t shoulder a player from behind, anyways another game winner for Ayo, and 3 pts for TFC. Club Linesman, gator, Free kick and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Almost a given imo. He is hot right now, everyone, including Berhalter is aware we are sniffing around thanks to the Wheeler video. They will want to integrate him and nip that in the bud asap. If the CSA had any interest in setting up a camp or friendly (which wont happen because they wont spend money) we would be doing the exact same thing. Link to post Share on other sites

You can’t shoulder a player from behind, anyways another game winner for Ayo, and 3 pts for TFC. He didn't shoulder him from behind, watch the replay, the NE player had the same intention, he even stretched his arm out and tried to shove Ayo away from the ball (before going in with his own body weight) only to be outmuscled (he didn't even attempt to complain to the ref since he knows he bit off more than he could chew) Obinna and Ruffian 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Unnamed Trialist 5,623 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I've become more interested in how @LeoH037 is handling this thread than the comparative seasons of AJH and Akinola. red card 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Corazon 1,511 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Can we just take some time to appreciate that touch off his own head to put himself through on that break in the 6th minute. The shot was disappointing but what a difficult ball to control and he did it perfectly putting himself in full stride. Ruffian and Kadenge 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DigzTFC 195 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It's very important we get this guy in the CMNT program. He's the most important recruit out there. It's so hard to find players like him. I wish there was a way of doing a coordinated twitter campaign / lobby to recruit Akinola. Set a date where we flood the guys twitter feed!

MtlMario 995 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It's a good idea but I think it's a lost cause. Even if he grew up and lives here in Canada I have a feeling that he going to stick with the US program. I hope I'm wrong though. Obinna 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, he is well embedded in the US system, we don't play many matches, the US will be pumping him up big time, no way he plays for us IMHO! I can't get excited for this reason and I think there was definitely a foul on the goal btw, it wasn't just a shoulder to shoulder challenge, he used his arm to push off!

There's a video from a closer perspective on the MLS website, both players went for it, one just happened to not be strong enough for it. Link to post Share on other sites
El Diego 762 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Farrell wasn't even complaining. While I understand why one may think that may be foul, I don't think there are any good arguments for it to be a foul. More to the point, Farrell is one of the strongest players in the league. To be able to (legally :P) shuck him like that is very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
Floortom 1,277 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Very nice mix of pace and power. His finishing has been quite good this year too. Not much hold up play (although in fairness he isn’t asked to do much of that). He could easily develop into a better version of Larin in a few years. Link to post Share on other sites
LeoH037 1,187 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Everyone be trying to call it a foul, but when he ends up doing it against a Honduran defender down in SP no one will be saying otherwise 😅 Shway and Obinna 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Strong disagree, his hold up play is one the areas where he has improved on massively this year. Edited October 8, 2020 by LeoH037 typo Shway 1 Link to post Share on other sites
