When basketball players Andrew Wiggins and RJ Barrett were in college, TSN televised their games with Kansas and Kentucky respectively when they would not have normally done so otherwise. They weren't only televising them for the basketball junkie. It was also for the casual sports fan that would have had great interest in the Canadian storyline. Barrett played at Duke, not Kentucky.

They weren't only televising them for the basketball junkie. It was also for the casual sports fan that would have had great interest in the Canadian storyline. True. But one could argue that when they made those decisions to show Kansas and Duke games it was because both Wiggins and Barrett were projecting to be first overall picks in the NBA draft. It turns out that Barrett went third overall but still these players were garnering mainstream attention (on both sides of the border) for that reason. Namely, that they were projected as basketball superstars or game changers. I dont think that they gave the same coverage to Kentucky when Jamal Murray was there or when Shae Gilgeous Alexander was there. Or, Oregon when Dillon Brooks played there and Arizona when Benedict Mathurin played there. Its judgement call on their part so I can understand that you have to draw the line somewhere. There were 141 Canadians last year playing Division 1 Basketball in the US. They wont show all of them all the time. Although, I would like to see Larin's games in la Liga more often, I dont see the same projected stardom in his case and in his sport as I see and saw for Wiggins and Barrett in their sport. Moreso given that Jonathan David is actually ahead of him in the NT pecking order for forwards. Just my opinion.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Important detail is that though the keeper Masip was injured last match (imo a dirty foul), Asenjo is back from injury and is a top-notch proven player. Celta is an entertaining team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe MacCarthy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 After a slow start, Valladolid starts to get in the game. Larin gets an offside shot on goal later followed by a near break. Celta has had a couple of good chances (should have put one away in the first minute, and hit the post in the 14th minute. Celta have just scored.

youllneverwalkalone Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 This looks like HFX & Pacific. Similar colours, both teams seem to have the same shirt sponsor. The level somewhat elevated I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king1010 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Larin saved on a nice chance. Chested the ball down and half volleyed but keeper came out to cut off the angle and saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Then another header off a following corner the keeper stops...as the half ends. Back heels, dummies, dribbles: Celta is a classy team that probably shouldn't be tied with Valladolid in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He worked hard, could have nabbed a goal, but was quite alone and the team didn't link up well through their attacking lines. Celta had successful counters and was more talented. Next Sunday afternoon home to Espanyol, they have to get points at home. cronaldo7, johnyb, GasPed and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Reading again that Pacheta might make changes. They said that last week too, and he started anyways. Machis isn't ready so they need outside and more effective mids, he needs service. Espanyol has striker Joselu back, so the teams will be well matched. No idea if Koleosho will be with the 1st team or B, who play tomorrow noon. Or has he already gone to that Italy u-19 camp? Pacheta played for Espanyol for many years, it's an important game for him and I'd say must win for Valladolid.

Joe Keeper Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 With the way Cyle is going personally and numbers wise, I think he might be due for a brace in the next game or two. If any of RVs next few games are very open, high shooting affairs, a hat trick is not far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Six weeks ago, I'd never seen or heard of this stadium. But, it just might be in my Top 5 favourite football grounds in the world. MLS should be building 20 of that, rather than the bullshit horseshoes they love so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Larin wins a header that ultimately leads to a 2nd goal for his team. He also helped by occupying the attention of both CB’s for Espanyol to allow the goal scorer to be free in the box ob1, dyslexic nam, Corazon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
