Kadenge Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 What about that cool header back to the keeper with pressure in the box? Iceman 2 ... for a 19 yr old rookie to make that play...just incredible. johnyb, CANMNT_SUPERFAN, Cheeta and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Here is to Phonzie, his friends and family. To those have helped him develop. Most of all a glass raised to all of you on here past and present that have spent years dreaming of moments like this. Moments lots of nations like where I grew up would take for granted. Glorious stuff and another milestone for Canadian football. On to the next step. Cheers. Club Linesman and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colliedor Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Don't know what to even say about this. Always liked him, but never imagined him to be starting right away like this. Such a huge achievement. I'm hoping a lot of Canadian kids are watching this. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Davies is now a Bundesliga champion, a UEFA Champions League champion and wins a Rookie of the Year on top of it. What other things are left? Winning a CONCACAF Gold Cup and qualifying for the World Cup with Canada and actually playing in a World Cup johnyb and lamptern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is, I am just thinking that there are still enough clueless members of the Canadian media that will think it should go to Conor McDavid or any random Canuck on whichever team wins the Stanley Cup. I guess it won’t go to a CFL player at least The Real Marc, dyslexic nam and Free kick 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind sharing Phonzie because  he's ours. The more followers and fans he attracts the more lucrative his endorsements and publicity for Canadian soccer. What irks me is the Canadian corporate world just missing a huge opportunity. The Davies story epitomizes what Canada is all about and now he is  a hot commodity. Typical.... too late to the party. johnyb and Greatest Cockney Rip Off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it was live-streamed on Twitter and I suspect there are more kids on Twitter than who would grab a remote and flip to CBC.

No way. A tiny fraction of people in Canada watched this because it was not on television. It’s a real shame. The live streaming only option is a disaster for the exposure of soccer in this country. Kids have no access. Casual fans have no access. It’s for middle aged, wealthy urbanites. A niche viewership of core supporters. Will have a long term impact in my opinion. European football has basically vanished from mainstream conversation in Canada. Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Soccer has never been as popular in Canada as it is right now and a big reason for that is streaming. People do not have to be force fed what TSN and Sportsnet force feed them and they can choose what they want to watch. And that happens to be soccer.

SoccMan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Having a Twitter war with these fool , basically telling me that Davies more or less is not really Canadian lol. Canada has nothing to do with his development lol. “  Alphonso's talent is from his African ancestry. No different from the guys I played with who were Italian, Portuguese. Their talent came from their ancestry “. Incredible and this fool is supposedly Canadian tweeting  this crap! MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
