In his defence I'm on his ignore list. I can't be sure but I believe it was because I let him know that Alexander Isak was not eligible for the 2020 Golden Boy because he was a 99 birth year.

Working hard involves filtering, try it sometime. Even blocking. In any case, this board is only work for media experts like you. RS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(😉) I expect too much from this board I guess, my loss. What gets me is that my post started with what I dunce I was and how nobody corrected me. But reading comprehension is not a forte here, if you are already dumping on yourself, you don't need an emoji to signal the angle. But the fact is: I posted the link to the UEFA roster, found his UEFA shirt number, found him on the Youth League roster, dug up his match reports from the previous YL matches, but the media experts have to strut their insecurity regardless. Get this: no one will care enough to even post on his YL match today. Edited October 19, 2021 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know "Robert" likes to derail threads and gets bored with his press releases, but let's keep it on track: Dias starting and Sporting winning, leading their group.

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Dias played 90 in Youth League today as Sporting beat Dortmund 3-2. He seems to be taking some free kicks and had at least one shot. Plays, acc to UEFA, on the left side of the attack. They are 2nd, but need to get a result away against Ajax on the last day of their group stage to classify for the knockout rounds, or else a favourable result in the other match. johnyb, Addona, Xavier. and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a boy amongst men at the Olympic Qualifiers, but it was obvious he's extremly talented and should have gotten more minutes. He's listed at 5'11 on wikipedia, which is confirmed by that clip. No way he was that big in March, he looked more like 5'7 or 5'8. We are discussing JMR's growth spurt, but this guy has really matured as well. I hope we see him with the senior team sooner than later.

gigi riva Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hopefully he will get a chance to play on the senior team in 2022, I have been very curious to see this young man play since the Qualifiers. Lets hope he decides to represent the Maple Leaf in the future. Sporting has a very good academy, maybe one of the better ones in Europe. toontownman, Xavier., johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s grown, filled out and looks like a more physically commanding player out there. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Maybe it’s just me, but in that video everybody looks the same size. Remember Olympic qualifiers were U24 last year, and we played Haiti, El Salvador, and Honduras, and Mexico. I think you guys are a little undersizing what he was up against - even Tajon looked small. The Haitians and Hondurans were all big guys. Approve My Account Pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good so far but in the end it’s about making the Sporting first team or another decent level first team . However, the kid seems like he is on the right path and hopefully if he does become a starter for Sporting or any other decent level team he chooses Canada .

I’m just saying he’s plenty big enough to be effective at any level. Not that he is ready for the MNT, just saying it won’t be his size that stops him.

I have a hard time thinking he would’ve got minutes in any of our past WCQ windows. Maybe v El Salvador or Panama, but if I’m him and his family that decision to reject for now does make sense Xavier., Corazon, toontownman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
