narduch Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Kind of wild that a RB keeps winning MOTM. Really Zator is one of my favorite CanMNT stories at the moment johnyb, Obinna, Jack1997 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 That result puts his team in 12th, 3 points above the drop zone but just 2 points off 9th place. Certainly a log jam in the bottom half of the table, but several of the teams below Korona Kielce have inferior goal difference - including all the teams in the drop zone right now. Still work to do but I think they will survive and maybe even finish top half. johnyb, Dominic94, WestHamCanadianinOxford and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trc2014 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Has AGR ever not said a Canadian had a strong performance in a game? I can’t take those posts seriously. red card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He usually doesn't tweet when they have poor performances and covers those instead in Northern Futbol. How is a post highlighting a strong game by a Canadian not worth taking seriously? Because he also doesn't shit on David for being poor against Reims on his TL also? Fresh Prince of MTL, gator, Jack1997 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trc2014 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) He covers poor performances on the podcast? That’s news to me. I’m not trying to be negative. I just find his coverage is pure confirmation bias. In terms of your David example, I foresee commentary on the podcast mentioning his amazing movement without the ball and the poor service he received.

Ya. He often mangled the English language too. But he brought a different viewpoint. AGR and Galindo seem to agree on everything. Why did he leave? My own speculation is they had a falling out over Nef taking one of those free World Cup trips The Real Marc, QBCS, A_Gagne and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a listener, I can understand this sentiment. I often felt that Nef was on a different page than galindo/AGR. I dont want them to agree on everything but I want them to be on the same page as to what the purpose of the question is. Quite often I found nef's answers didnt actually provide any substantial answers to the question. He felt like a fan boy and a journalist but not someone who fully understands the tactical side of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 They said something on an episode to the effect that they wanted to make the podcast more professional and take it more seriously and he couldn’t commit to that or something. That explanation would make sense with what that discord post is saying. The guy they replaced him with is pretty good, he does a good job at being that third host who announces updates and includes some commentary here and there.

I can’t take those posts seriously. He's a serious journalist and a fairly unassuming person. I don't think he's trying to unduly hype, a clean sheet vs the league leaders is an accomplishment. The rival averages two a game and seems to blow out midtable teams. This one too they missed a few sitters, the Kielce keeper was good. This is the first league win for Rakow Czestochowa in 102 years of history. I like that Zator is there, I'd take 15-20 of our younger guys at this level in Europe.

I know he's playing a lot of full-back in Poland but he's often played as a right-sided CB as part of a 3 over there, and obviously has experience at CB in the CPL. He can be a reliable option for the next few years if he keeps playing this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotten better lately but he's had a real problem with pronouncing some club names. He was saying Valladoid for weeks and called Kilmarnock "Kilmanrock". Probably nitpicking, but seems like on the premier Canadian podcast, you could at least have the guy who's reading the Canadians Abroad section pronounce the club names properly.

Corazon Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I know it's been stated before but Vitoria didn't switch to Canada until he was 29 and he's carved out a solid Canadian career the past 7 years and counting. I don't think that Zator will have the same impact as Vitoria has for Canada but it's not unreasonable to expect him to be in our player pool for a few more years at least. The fact we continue to lack elite center backs definitely favours Zator but I'd still like to think he can make the move to a level higher. Have to think that his performances this season have caught some eyes within the bigger clubs in the Polish Ekstraklasa.

I was just responding to a post about "young players" He is not a "young player" even though he still has plenty of years left in his tank.

Totally, just wanted to take the opportunity to reaffirm that centre-backs can have longer lasting careers at their peak (as Corazon pointed out with Vitoria).
