They seem to have success at the younger level but nothing translates to the pro level. Late to the game. They are really just getting started. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the number so far given they started their academy way after the Caps & TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 There could be 2 things going on here: The Impact doesn't know how to scout, or there aren't any better players in Quebec to put out there. The GTA looks like an endless pool of talent once you start digging. The 'Caps have a very competitive team in USL, but not much getting through to the big club (yet). They are scouting a bigger and more divers area though, compared to the Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRM Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 And as soon as we give the kid a compliment he skys one over the net. Should be 2-0 but at least we are ahead and still getting chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 If it helps, TRM, Morales missed a wide open chance from about 12 yards out. Davies has been fantastic tonight. Set up the goal. Is all over the pitch breaking up plays to begin counterattacks, dribbling through defenders, decent passing. Watching him tonight has me excited for his future should he continue to develop.

Northvansteve Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Breakthru game for Davies. What a performance. Yes, against a mostly USL side in Sporting KC, but it was a dominant, big game performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRM Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I was half joking earlier. It seems every time I give a player a compliment he does something bad shortly thereafter. Makes up for it with the winner. True it was SKC's B team but he was clearly MOTM (KidOTM?) and a few cuts above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyCanuck Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I sent an email to the Vancouver Whitecaps asking if Davies was eligible to represent CanMNT and this is the response I received: " Alphonso currently has permanent resident status on his way to becoming a Canadian citizen. I do believe he will be eligible for the men’s national team at that time." Hopefully he has already begin the Canadian citizenship process.

He's been called to Canadian youth teams before, I don't know if it was official games or not. If not, he is at least a permanent resident and there was maybe some exception because his family moved to Canada for non-footballing reasons?
