lowlander Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 2-1 for Bayern at the half, Lewandowski missed a penalty just at the end. Davies not at fault on the goal against, I don’t think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 From what I saw (and I was flipping browsers back and forth between this & the Lille CL match) he was outstanding in the first half, with an excellent strike from outside the box which the keeper got his fingertips to & and a couple of breakaway threats nullified. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Excellent first half from Phonzie. Was really surprised on some of those far post runs he was making too - hes playing very advanced. Loved that outside the box shot attempt too. When was the last time we've seen him do that at with Bayern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hopefully now Sane will be a bit more willing to find Davies with passes - but I doubt it. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cblake Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Phonzie is expected to arrive in Edmonton Sunday after Bayern's match and spend the evening and most of Monday of his homecoming at the family’s Northeast Edmonton home before joining his team to prepare to play before a projected combined crowd expected to total more than 100,000 for his first two games at Commonwealth Stadium. The team will train Tuesday - Thursday ahead of the Costa Rica match. sebdeserio, RocketWheeler, Approve My Account Pls and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The pressure on him to get a goal will be enormous. Not to mention the distractions and other demands on his time because the focus will be on him only. He may want to do too much on the pitch and the opposition will pick up on it. I hope the locales realize that in soccer you could have an awsome game and be a man of the match without scoring a goal. trc2014, johnyb and Bison44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, yes i do. With the way the local media in edmonton have been going on an all out blitz to hype up the event to max to sell this thing out, you have have to think that you will get a very large contingent who have a far less than 100% understanding of the game. There is a podcast of a sports radio show that i listen to regularly from Edmonton, the host has been on mission to do everything he can to ensure a sell out. He had been talking about the games everyday leading up to when the tickets went on sale and until the sell. All credit to him, plus he really knows and follows out MNt and thats a good thing. This is one of the good things about Edmonton and playing there, there is a sence of community and people (including the media) wanting this thing to succeed and make the community look good. Unfortunately, In this regard, Toronto is not like that when it comes to soccer.

Cblake Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Asked about his favourite soccer memory growing up in his hometown of Edmonton, Alphonso Davies smiled. "Just being a kid, playing football with my friends ... And now here I am playing with the national team in my hometown," he said. "It's just going to feel like I'm back on the soccer pitch with the Edmonton Strikers and just having fun with some friends." This is pretty exciting, the kids is coming home to play on the big stage !! RocketWheeler, chalms04, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PegCityCam Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 My bad if this was already mentioned but just caught Sportsnet's top 50 plays of the month for October and Davies' goal was number 1.

That was just as important because without there is no goal, the whole thing was simply spectacular. Anyone in the stadium that night was lucky to see it with their own two eyes.
