red card Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) This is must be a benefit of winning gold as the Athletic has its second article in a week about a Canadian player. Interesting tidbits are: Her mum hated the cold interiors of ice hockey arenas so dodged the national sport and put her in football and taekwondo sessions. She made the national team for taekwondo before choosing to completely focus on football at 12. Speaks English and French fluently but picked up Portuguese quicker than Icelandic. She has already registered nine goals and five assists this season and has become a local icon, the fans have even given her the nickname “Cloe Le-Class”. I’m contracted here until 2024 but I’m open to opportunities. It’s just about what best suits my career and my lifestyle. Portugal right now has been a fantastic place to live and Benfica has been an exceptional club to be around. The people here really want me to grow as a player and they want me to be happy and that’s really the two most important things right now. I’m finding both here, so I can’t complain.” https://theathletic.com/3017653/2021/12/15/cloe-lacasse-the-canadian-forward-with-icelandic-citizenship-who-is-humbled-to-be-at-benfica/ Edited October 22, 2022 by red card Trois Reds and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid-Tone Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Women's Champions League Qualifying going on right now in the 77th min. Benfica is dominating the game at Ibrox vs. Rangers but the score is tied 2 - 2. It's been a great game, with lots of action. Chloe has played well, though perhaps she should get her shot off more instead of deferring to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Played 90, Barça tore Benfica to pieces, 9-0. Some very soft defenders they have, and mids. Nothing to do for Chloe. The Benfica coach only made one change to a team losing like that, odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately she wasn't eligible for Iceland it says in her international section since she didn't meet the 5 year residency rule. Completely different situation than the teenagers who have chosen other countries on the men's side that have been the topic of recent discussion. Lacasse was running out of time and Canada wasn't calling. Edited November 1, 2022 by rydermike vancanman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkomar Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Nice and a bit surreal to see my home city mentioned in a soccer video. Sudbury is no hotbed of soccer, so good on Lacasse to elevate her career so far despite starting from here. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels very much like a "big fish in a small pond situation". I was just going to ask the same thing. I don't know where the Portuguese league ranks among women's leagues, but I'm sure it's not at the top. Seems like she is scoring every week.
