On the Ligue 1 website, they are listed as the rights holders along with BeIN Sports and TV5 but website isn't clear as to who has the rights to show which matches. https://www.ligue1.com/international-broadcasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weng Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just a question for anyone that might know. The Sofascore App shows that Justin Smith played World Cup Qualifiers for the British Virgin Islands. Does this make him unable to play for Canada? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PegCityCam Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 He's on the roster again for Sunday vs Bordeaux (as per article).

The experimental young defender brought in to see if we've got something there. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Not called to the France U20 or U19 squads earlier this month (as an '03, he is more of a U19). --- There will be a U19/U20 friendly tournament next month in Marbella Spain. We need to send @Unnamed Trialist over because the participants are France, Belgium, Mexico and England. In theory, we could see Smith, Jebbison and Flores all playing against each other!

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Here is an 8 minute documentary on Justin. Key facts: - Started playing the game at 7 in the Yvelines department (suburb of Paris). - Caught the attention of PSG and joined their academy for U15 and U16 before transferring to Nice for U17 - The coaches seemed to have moved him from defensive midfield ( a Piette type role ) to centre back. - On contract until 2026. - Obviously incredibly eager to make his pro debut ( he says he will take 10 minutes, 5 minutes, even 30 seconds on the pitch at the end of a Ligue 1 match ) but also level headed about the whole thing and knows that he needs to show the coaching staff that he is ready. - Nothing mentioned about his background, family or heritage ( links to Canada &/or links to France) Edited November 2, 2021 by Olympique_de_Marseille toontownman, dyslexic nam, johnyb and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Seems like he’s in a similar situation as Corbeanu last year. Will make some bench appearances but extremely unlikely to get meaningful minutes until maybe the last few matches of the year (assuming they’re not playing for anything by the ). hopefully he can get a decent loan and play pro minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frmr Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I think he's as close to a shoo-in for our program in the future as it gets. If he was in PSG's academy and now is on the verge of playing time with Nice at 18, it's only a matter of time. I think he'll be a great player for us, and if he can play both CB and CDM, he will be a very valuable addition.
