Vince193 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 As a guy who knows nothing about the scandinavian leagues, is the Swedish league a higher level? It's probably as good as the Danish league, which are the best in Scandinavia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish leagues are pretty similar quality wise. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 As Fussball_eh posted in the MOACA he has signed  with Korona Kielce of the Ekstraklasa, Poland’s top division.  Nice move for him and hopefully he can get some minutes. It will end up being quite a long season for him between the Finnish league and whatever action he gets in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Isn't the Polish season ongoing? I'd assume he would start training with the club right away and hence not really have an off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's able to train with the squad, but he has to wait till Jan to play. Fussball_eh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Shameless promotion time. He's the next interview lol. Charlie's a super nice guy. Happy he's making the move Edited November 24, 2015 by matty deschamp86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghonj Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I actually didn't mind watching this entire interview because Charlie! can give the "right" answers while still being himself and showing his personality. Hope it goes really well for him in Poland! Edited January 24, 2016 by Ghonj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fussball_eh Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 As Vince mentioned, Charlie just joined a new club in pre-season, so it makes sense for him to focus on that right now and not Camp Poutine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianfoot Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Really nice interview. Looking forward to watch him play soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Excited for this player (and not just because he's a Calgary lad). I was really impressed with how he preformed against Ghana. Interesting to hear from him that the level is much quicker and physical than Finland. It sounds like a significant jump. That is great news for him and us. I hope he can impress and become a key member of Korona. It will only bode well for his chances of a call up this campaign! saintjoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianfoot Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It will be interesting indeed. Â The jump is significant from Finnish to Polish League. Then let's not forget the league format. AFTER THE INITIAL 30 ROUNDS points and table is Split in Half. 1-8//9-16(grupa mistrzowska//grupa spadkowa) and so are your points. 70pts becomes 35pts. 8pts difference becomes 4pts... Â The Final 7 rounds(Round 31-37) become crucial for a lot of Top and Bottom teams. Right now 8-16 there is 4pts separating them...meaning 2pts after 30th round. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianfoot Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Bottom 2 teams get relegated. With the new format indeed the last few round DO make it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Even though Polish football doesn't have the reputation, it must be a great league to play in. Looks like just about every team in the Ekstraklassa has a shiny new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Mmm if I use the same logic, in the sense of some MLS players who were "produced" by certain academies, I get stick on these boards. Anyway I don't think he played in any of those shiny stadiums at time (which wasn't that long ago in 2010). Most were built or renovated for the Euros in 2012. Now it looks like practically all of the teams some how got a brand new stadium to play at. Kielce for instance Arena_Kielce.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianfoot Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) It's a nice stadium. One of THE cheapest in Ekstraklasa (from those built in last decade) 50 millions PLN in 2006 without land. Even with inflation I wouldn't mind something like that for a Canadian Team for 50 millions CAD. Piast Gliwice has a descent one but 10k capacity.  Yeah a crap load of stadiums were built and most of them Simply Can't be filled. Attendance hovers at a 10k avg. Yeah sure Legia/Lech/Wisła/Slask and sometimes Lechia have sold out games....but seldomly. Canadian MLS Teams have better Attendance.  Lewandowski is a one off player it won't happen again for 20yrs...most Polish players are sold for under 5 millions Euros and those a few and far between. Still I hope Charlie uses the Polish League to gain experience he ain't young anymore it's now or never.  Well Charlie is in Cyprus with the team getting ready for rest of season.
