On the come back trail

Henry back on the bench for Suwon Bluewings today. He enters the game at the 74th minute, first appearance since October.

Nuno also said if the opportunity for him to play arises they will because they trust him. EDIT: Some odd clips throughout of Theo, mainly wearing an orange top. Clip at 10:10 of him playing in a scrimmage with Raul.

Here’s a tweet I sent out today in response to Jebbison’s debut with Sheffield United. Daniel liked my response, hopefully that’s a good sign for us.

He’s 26 year old and coming off the season of his life. He needs to take his shot now - no guarantee he’ll ever have a chance like this again.

I hate dwelling on the past but just look what Okello, Priso, Shaffelburg & Peruzza were able to do against a top Mexican club. Add in Nelson, Marshall-Rutty and Dunn in the mix. Now imagine they had been available for our Olympic squad.

Latest on David’s injury as per KJ.

We’re lucky to have Thomas and Peter and the Northern Futbol podcast. Their knowledgeable insights and passion for the game are a bonus for the Canadian Soccer fan. It’s great that they are also able to provide a forum for our players to share their thoughts and experiences and have fans get to know these players better. I really enjoyed hearing Scott’s discussion with Thomas and Peter. He shared his humble focus and discipline … his passion for the game and competitive spirit … his commitment to continuous improvement. He makes me proud and continues to inspire me.

Lucas made the shortlist for best player in the U-23 Liga Revelacao. They are having a public vote now. https://sjogadores.pt/?pt=revelacao

That’s his 19th in all competitions this season, surpassing his goal scoring record set in his rookie season with Orlando

He got a goal and two assists really(a saved shot headed In and an owm goal a good days work

David made the squad for tomorrow's match.

Really important win for Regensburg, and another solid performance from Kennedy. Good awareness as usual with his tackling and heading, but his passing looked a lot better today too. He didn't lob the ball to the other side of the field without pressure, and actually played it forward competently. He even held up possession with runs up the left a few times, and I'm not sure if we have other defenders (let alone CB's) who can do that. 7.1 rating on sofascore.

Larin scores on an assist from Atiba!

As the 2020-21 European seasons draw to a close, we have a number of Canadians eligible to lift silverware. In fact, there are two Canadians who've already won a league and cup title, and we have the potential for that to rise to 7 Canadians winning a combined 6 league titles and 5 domestic cups across Europe. If all goes well, this would easily be the best season in recent memory, if not ever! I'll update this accordingly as Champions continue to be confirmed in the coming days and weeks...

As someone who attended every Pacific game, as well as countless games at Clarke in Edmonton and other smaller venues before then, I can assure you that Westhills numbers did not feel greatly inflated. No matter how many times you bring this up

His team FC Ingolstadt are in 2nd place in 3.Bundesliga , automatic promotion spot with 4 games to play. They were very unfortunate last season where they slipped into the playoff spot by an extra time goal, and they loss promotion by from extra time goal as well. Here's hoping they have better fortunes. He's had a good season again with 5 goals and 4 assists. Last year he had 3 goals and 5 assists. Definitely someone I would want to see in a Gold Cup B squad.

I figured I would start this again since we are a couple games into the season. If there is anyone missing or if any mistakes, feel free to let me know.

Scores the first goal of the season for the Whitecaps! Assist off the corner for Gutierrez

PSG ties, I think a win and a tie seals it for Lille.

Here are the stats. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/teams/charlton-athletic/top-scorers He leads the team in assists despite having played just over half a season. He has 2 goals which should be more, agreed. He has shots, puts them on net, but does not score. Needs to finish better or with more accuracy, even a slight improvement, saying having scored a couple more, would be significant on the stat sheet. It is also worth rethinking finishing in cases like his. There are days Messi just passes the ball firmly into the corner of the net. Higuain in his prime was very ac

He can't keep getting away with it! (he's playing as a striker today too) Brace 15 minutes in!

It looks like that inter-league loan that I suggested for Liam a year and a half ago is finally materializing:

I like this reporter but this is too funny. If he can mould himself into a regular Ligue 1 CB that "should" put him on CanMNT radar. LOL If he can mould himself into a Ligue 2 backup CB he'll be on the CanMNT radar.

I mentioned this on discord the other day but I'll post it here too. I heard from family in Germany that there are two or three 2. Bundesliga clubs along with one Bundesliga club that are following Kennedy's progress. Apparently there's no concrete interest in him yet but they like what they've seen and are keeping an eye on Kennedy. It was his performance against Köln in the cup that attracted other clubs attention. I'm not sure how reliable this information is though.

Understandably, many of us have a favourable bias towards Cdn MLS players,because we see them play a lot. How many have watched Sam and Valerenga over the past 3 seasons? Sam has played 77 games..most of them starts/ 90 mins and will be playing Europa next season. 110 appearances in MLS/Allsvenskan/Eliteserien and 1 game in the English Championship. Regardless of whether MLS is better than Eliteserien, you simply can't ignore that level of experience for a defender in our squad in "win or go home WCQ". He has 12 caps for the CMNT including 2 at the 2017 GC. I thought he was excellent at LB

He played very well today against Braga; made a nice run and almost scored in the second half. Dominant in his tackling today, and with Costa out, he came further up the pitch and drove everyone forward. Great to see him and Pacos back in form.

As if I didn't like Zavaleta already. Now he's going to play for El Salvador..

Signed to a homegrown contract by Vancouver Whitecaps. Class of 2004. Central defender. Highly-regarded and a player to watch. https://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2021/04/23/campagna-homegrown

got an assist and looks good in general

Smooth as butter type of player. ‘ almost makes it look as though he is not going 100% due to his presence on the field played very well today for LAFC

Both ZBG and Gutierrez make the first edition of this seasons MLS TOTW

The last posts, based on one match, are ridiculous and embarrassing. I mean seriously. The first goal the angle is not one you'd expect a striker to score from. The second lapse it seemed he was thinking about covering a pass or thought another had him. In any case, you could argue about those decisions, and if he sees the repeats he might understand about closing down better. But seriously: this is not a league where defenders close down well at all, the laxity at the top of the box, in the area, holding in the middle, is notorious. In general, I find the over-analysis after that

Congrats to Alphonso Davies on winning another Championship! Now, Bayern, please let Alphonso play in a more attacking role for these final 3 games. 😜

Larin now 23rd all-time on the Besiktas scoring charts (all comps I believe). One behind Yilmaz of all people.

Yea not me. Our team is the one to be feared. They haven't added any world class players, or champions from top leagues. No top scorers in the eredivise. If we are getting worried about Surname, than we have no place in the Octo - they will be our meat and drink next month.

Match highlights:

Here are the results from the 24 under 24. Some obvious and interesting results. Some facts: - 50 total voters - Everyone in the list was at least voted for once. - Only David, Davies, and Corbeanu were in every voters rankings - Davies and David would've been updisputed #1 & #2 if not for one voter having David as #1, and Davies #2

Liam played the 90 today in a goalless draw with Ipswich, it looks like he set up some good chances and had an effort saved!

Nice pic of Scott from the last match vs. Osnabrück

I don't know if we really fully appreciated what David did against Paris. Never mind the fact that he was injured while doing so, but he scored against one of the best keepers in the world in a team with two of the biggest and most expensive players in the world, in one of the most important games of the season. Doing that at age 21 just shows that he really is the Iceman and that he can score in any game against any opponent. We should qualify for 2022 and if we do, I expect David to be scoring in Qatar. He's proven that he can score against basically anyone, on any stage. Finally, we have a

His goal from today’s U-23 match

I’m not sure how many people are aware of this link: https://issuu.com/canadasoccer/docs/20191231_canada_records_results/2?ff Every year the CSA updates this document and it has broken down records and information for both the men and women, truly a fantastic source.

worth checking out but Hamilton has high praise for the talent in that area but took big shots at the old management... for not playing the kids. On a few occasions he’s praised current management for backing the kids and playing them. makes you wonder how good some guys would have turned out if TFC had of taken youth development seriously. he goes on to essentially back Rollins who once said Roma was impressed with the raw talent in the area, saying that Ontario teams always competed world wide talent wise. That’s a bold statement.
