Obinna Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 16 minutes ago, dyslexic nam said: I get the joke, but you have to see how this is a bit dumb, right? Immediately before a huge game, he is basically saying he is under-appreciated and he is implying that his absence leaves a huge hole in the team. One or both of those things may be true, but it is dumb to say it to 4 million people right before your teammates play a huge game. I see how you think it's a dumb thing to post. He made a post and we projected our own insecurities onto it. GasPed and Sal333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bayern pushed and CMNT said "Phonzie you better go back or they won't let you come play anymore", so reluctantly he headed back home. But he's disappointed and that's why he tweeted. At least that's the glass half-full story. 😉 This is the exact explanation that I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diego Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Initially I could tell there was some controversy but I didn't see what it was right away, and I was worried that Davies banged Atiba's sister or something GasPed, zammy67, PegCityCam and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he should have known that so many people would get irrational, fly off the handle, and make wild assumptions based on no information whatsoever. Definitely a lesson learned for the young man.

Obinna Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 To be honest I am a little pissed off people would write Davies off so quickly and assume there was issue with Canada. I am sad for him that he had to make that statement. Ruffian, canadasoccer20, Mattd97 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroArrow Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I imagine they all read this board religiously and when they saw that a poster named ILuvCanFootball99! was concerned about a tweet, they immediately took it down.

It is hilarious that you still maintain your position after everything that happened - including the deletion and him feeling the need to reinforce his loyalty. But yeah, we were just projecting….

frmr Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 On the plus side, it's nice to finally have a player who has everyone hanging off his every word. This is what it's like for players across Europe, South America and Mexico. We're finally becoming manically obsessive!

sebdeserio Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) It seemed really uncharacteristic of him so I'm happy it's just an inside joke (if that's truly the case) but weird it didn't register that the obvious speculation would be about Canada, especially for someone who's so media savvy. At least we know we're becoming a football nation when he has to tweet out an explanation 😁 Edited September 8, 2021 by sebdeserio BigMo and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is a proud Canadian and always plays his heart for us and loves sharing and liking posts of other Canada teammates. Dumb post but the fact people assumed the worse is not fair to Phonzie.

frmr Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hopefully he knows it all comes from a good place. He's our crown jewel and the thought of him being anything less that 100% behind the country would be devastating. So hopefully he takes it as endearing.

Social Media and what you post is apart of the job description of being a World Class athlete. There’s no way you can chalk this up to fans being irrational, it’s just not something you post before a big game, no matter the context. He’s young, and I’m glad he will take it as a learning point. game time in 2 hours, just a little event to take our minds off it a bit haha Edited September 8, 2021 by N1ckbr0wn Obinna and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to jump to conclusions at the best of times, but especially with the ongoing usmnt shit show fresh in our minds, I don't blame anyone (that includes you @dyslexic nam), but I do wish we had a little more restraint, especially for someone so important as Davies.
