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 Totally get what you're saying brother. I wasn't just being sarcastic when I said it's a lesson learned for him, I really meant that part. I guess in the context of what is going on with the USMNT, it's harsh to say the fear was irrational. At the same time, it didn't take long to prove it was much ado about nothing, so hopefully that was a lesson for all of us not to jump to conclusions. Yah, game time approaching quickly. Really got to get some more work done so the day wasn't a total write off. Enjoy the match everyone! PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 FWIW, the whole OneSoccer crew interpreted it exactly the same way most of us did and discussed it at length during the pregame (and that it was a bad idea and bad timing).

Floortom Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Listening to the OneSoccer pregame here and it seems clear that a. Alphonso wanted to play with Canada tonight - his family is actually at the match. b. Herdman and CSA were extremely cautious and insisted on sending him back to Bayern johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaaster Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Seems odd that Herdman would send him back to Bayern and not let him stay with the team and watch/support Seems way more likely Bayern wanted him back ...but who knows Mattd97 and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1ckbr0wn Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Sportsnet 650 in Vancouver just talked about the Davies Instagram post for about 5 minutes. This is definitely blowing up LOL narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd97 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I had non soccer fans send it to me too. Couldn't be less worried though, no reason for him to be upset at the team and no reason for the team to be upset with him. No drama, just a poorly thought out post about something totally different johnyb, Cheeta and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegCityCam Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 TSN lead with CanMNT tonight with Davies' tweet front and center...along with his clarification. So whatever you think - we're projecting/he's dumb - this news is mainstream and our boys are now a hype machine. Obinna and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I know we can't take any teams lightly but I am semi okay will Davies going back with the squad we have at this point. We just need to call more people. If it gives people a rest, maintains decent relations with clubs and does not put players between club and country. canuckgbp, sebdeserio, johnyb and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my lineup for the last game had him and other players sitting before he was confirmed out. Ie. Before the win. We have to be good enough to win some games with players out, for a myriad of reasons. We showed we can compete in those situations at the Gold Cup. We are in this for the long haul. We are only (a relatively easy) 21% of the way there. Ruud and Sal333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an opportunity for them to create a story. They are in the entertainment business. They were always going to jump all over it. Drama sells. At the same time, we all acknowledge it was not a bright idea to post something cryptic before a big match (because people have a tendancy to overreact). Lesson learned for Davies. Edit: Lesson learned for Davies, and massive exposure for him and Canadian Soccer in the meantime, right?

Absolutely behind him 💯. Simply a take...perhaps a result of my mild obsession with the guy and not-so-veiled desire to know everything about him🤪 Oh, and by "lost his shit" I'm implying he may have found it extremely funny (or not)...hence the inside joking. And for him to take it down and full-on apologize shows maturity way beyond his years/stardom. This kid is a gem in the purest sense. ronjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) According to Bild he's playing this Saturday, starting in fact. We did a little favour to Bayern, we still killed it, he recovered properly from whatever it was, and everyone's happy. Extraordinary that we are on 5 points with arguably our best player having played less than 2 of 3 games.
