Yeah, I've been thinking about that. I could maybe see him in the 30s, because you could argue he had a better year than Davies. But I could also see him not making the list which would be a shame (and an oversight). Ruud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason that makes me think David will crack the top 40 is that Yilmaz is on the list (85) and I find it hard to believe they think Yilmaz is a better player than Jo David. Maybe it’s just that I am biased but Lille winning the league with David scoring so many goals (with so many big ones) last season and he has continued this season that I’ve just talked myself into thinking David is definitely top 40.

Yilmaz was Lilles best player last season and made the Ligue 1 team of the year so I’m sure the ranking mostly reflects that, as opposed to his current form costarg and rkomar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I think David is going to pip Davies on recent form. I cannot see so many football media people missing the fact that he’s leading Ligue 1 in scoring maccaliam and lamptern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall the stat correctly, David was 5 in all of top 5 European leagues for goals scored in 2021 a few weeks back. Lots of goals, and many were big goals Vs top sides. For a calendar year award, David is ahead of Yilmaz (in my opinion anyway). Ivan, sebdeserio and lamptern 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJsens1 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I’m starting to see sports networks previewing their ‘plays of the year’. I know mcdavid had that great goal, but if the Davies goal against Panama isn’t number 1, that would be a disgrace. Obviously biased here but it’s the play of the year. How many times have we all watched it? I think after the game when I got home it was like 25 times that night and still so many times myself after or when some sort of replay is being shown with Canada soccer.

I was half watching one on Sportsnet the other day. I can't remember for sure if it was ordered, but I think so, and I think that michigan flip pass goal from the NHL (Ducks I think? Zegras?) was number 1. I can't be too upset with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sportsnet had it at #4 in their plays of the year. On the misplays of the year, the Duverger own goal in our favour was at #8. I thought it would go higher, to #2 after the Where's Waldo Woman idiot who caused the crash at the Tour De France (which did end up being #1).

The misplays also had that CONCACAF League miss inside the 6 yard box that benefitted Forge. It's a bit trippy hearing the OneSoccer commentators in the middle of lists like that.

Bayern having a huge outbreak - not sure how they're going to play Friday's match. Assuming no health issues, he should be good to travel for the window at end of month at least as quarantine would be 14 days if Omicron. Starting to really cut it close though..if players are infected in the next week or two they might be ruled out for the international window later this month. I guess David and Davies getting it when they did is almost fortunate timing Edited January 5, 2022 by Floortom Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Isolation period is just 5 days according to this: https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/article/canadian-star-alphonso-davies-tests-positive-covid-19/ I expect he will be fine for the window. You have to wonder at what point teams stop testing players who are asymptomatic (assuming that's the case here), as it doesn't seem to have much of a productive outcome to do so.

El Diego Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 A bunch of my Bengals are in COVID protocol, some have tested positive. Many fans are saying it's good for them to get it now before the playoffs, but other fans have pointed out that those who tested positive have, on the whole, had poor performances when they first returned to action. (Caveat: missing a week or two of practice in the NFL is a bigger deal than in soccer, with all the scheming they do for specific opponents). Hoping that Davies, David, and anyone else who may contract it before the next window is asymptomatic, fully vaccinated, and fully recovers before the next match. It's one thing to be available to play, it's another to be available to play well. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
