If he went to Bayern, maybe they could turn him into a RB and solve that problem for us as they have solved our LB problem for us with Davies

Made his MLS debut with the Whitecaps and looked really good. Subbed in to right mid. Lots of speed, skill and good passing. He started the play that led to the Caps winning goal. Then made another pass to Ricketts leading to a penalty. Was lively, skilled and made such an impression that he will surely get lots of playing time off the bench. Great start!

An article from yesterday with some interesting tidbits: https://www.forzanec.nl/nieuws/nieuws/article/sturing-gaat-vol-voor-interlandcarriere-met-canada.html Sturing initiated contact with the CSA, they have been watching his matches from the beginning of the season His father was born in Canada but moved to the Netherlands at a young age He still hasn't received his Canadian passport. He'll need to get it before March 14 to be eligible to play.

Answer I got when I asked

I figured I would start this chart again for Canadians in MLS 2020. The list of Canadians in MLS this year moves up to 50 players. This includes HG youth players who have yet to play an MLS game and a few players already loaned out. So far 20 Canadians have seen action through the first 2 games of the season.

🤮 at the idea of Zavaleta playing for Canada.

Honestly never thought I'd be reading stories like this.

Out of the loop? Evidently. Flabbergasted? Certainly. A cheap bastard? You can count on that. 😅

Not sure where to put this. Looks like TSN is doing a special (Thursday 730 EST) ranking the top CANMNT players in the world currently.

Personally, I'd probably wait for a bit more information before advising someone to give up on their dreams

Ferdi, don't sell yourself short and settle for the Netherlands. It's intimidating playing with world class players like David and Davies, but it will raise your level.

When was the last time you bought a match-quality ball?!?

Zulte will exercise the buy option ( 2.5m) and sell for 10 to 12 million

Sigh. I feel like we've done this before. You post an essay, which essentially boils down to a question that usually has already been answered on this board or is easily googleable. Next, someone obliges and answers your question. In this case, Japan is going to postpone the games and are currently playing chicken with the IOC to see who will have to pay for the expenses. As to your other point, you want CONCACAF to announce a new format when all of its members are currently quarantined from each other with no timeline on when that will be lifted, but is best case scenario months away, sure makes sense. Then, you respond to everyone that responds to you, thus making it so that every other post in this thread is you. Finally, 2 weeks later, @admin bans you for your past verbal abuses.

You would drop me for Henry?

Saw this on TranferMarkt. https://www.transfermarkt.us/bayern-plan-to-renew-alphonso-davies-contract-quot-we-award-good-performances-quot-/view/news/355763 Relevant quote that I love to see:

Google translate says he'll be "sold to the islands". I'm assuming that means the UK. Either that or some sort of cult

In a twist of what I expected

I’m the Dominican Republic and my wife saw a guy at the resort with a Davies BM jersey on. #BigTime

Or El Salvador gets to go through because they have more fifa points then us whether we like it or not.

I would hope that the CSA would at least pursue the option of lobbying FIFA for a chance at the hex.

I always knew Coronavirus was a bio-weapon engineered by the El Salvador FA to keep us from getting to the HEX.

I'm living through this hell in Hong Kong, don't confuse this with the flu - the territory has been in state of panic for more than 8 weeks now, with everyone in masks and living in isolation. We go out every few days for groceries (and deal with runs on essentials), that's it. And we only have a hundred or so cases. This is basically a lost year. Sports will return. We can then continue to lament how we should have and could have won matches, done better and will soon be a rising power. Until that time, be careful and stay safe everyone.

Juan Cordova went 90 minutes in Huachipato's 2-1 win victory against Audax Italiano in Chile's Primera Division tonight

Langley8 FC it is then.

This actually makes OZ look really bad. He was the head of the program, he should have followed up.

If you think about it, selling out 2 games against team who likely has fairly small appearance fees like T&T is a good plan. Toronto and the larger cities seem to struggle selling any more than 15k against a team like T&T, so really, 2 games of around 7k is almost as good. Let the smaller CPL places get the smaller countries, and share the big games around in the MLS cities. Will grow the game across the country.

Impact start 4 Canadians, Jackson-Hamel, Piette, Brault-Guillard, Waterman, with 4 more on the bench.

Besiktas win 2-1 with Hutchinson playing his customary 90 minutes in a double pivot, alongside Arsenal-loanee Mohamad Elneny. According to my goal app, he was rated 8.2, which was the highest on Besiktas by a fair margin.

+1 You've made two posts that have been positive contributions in the last week. Well done sir.

Could you imagine if Saarbrucken get drawn against Bayern? Who would have thought that two former Whitecaps FC 2 teammates playing in wildly different divisions in Germany might meet in the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal

Umm...no. Not when one of those goals came against Martinique and the other two came against Anguilla in a 15-0 win. Your argument about him being their most in form striker also doesn't hold water when Marcus Joseph scored 5 for T&T that game. Worrying about Ryan Telfer is as relevant as worrying about absolutely any other player on any other team.

Davies valued as the third most expensive teen in the world at a cool 92.5 Million Euros!! https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2019/wp288/en/

Dude have you ever been to Asia? Hugely popular in China and Philippines. Theres a billion people right there. The sports in USA, not even close. All of Southern Europe. Eastern Europe its huge. Very popular in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina. Australia and New Zealand. It goes on and on. Hockey v Basketball isn't even close.

I've been on these forums for more than twenty years and never in a million years would I have imagined people posting content like this. It's all very sobering, really. It reminds me in part that sport is a diversion, a distraction from the otherwise (mostly) mundane everyday life and how, without it all we have is that mundane everyday life.

What are we doing people? Let's talk about the team 🤷

Thought his introduction was the difference in the game.

Possibly being done with an eye on future expansion given this is happening at the Langley Events Centre?

One thing at a time..... at this moment my biggest and wildest hope is a photo of our Double D's with airline tickets to the world cup.

That's the replica. Official match balls by any company all sell for that $150 range, regardless of the league. That's just the price of things, so this CPL ball is priced normally.

That would make very little sense if the CPL had their salary cap in USD

Nah man. Haven't you heard? We hate Ottawa now.

More info on CPL salaries and extra's that the league apparently provides from an article from the Ottawa Citizen from an interview with Jeff Hunt, where he said : "We’re arranging accommodations for players — it’s one of the responsibilities for teams in the CPL." https://ottawasun.com/sports/soccer/the-real-jeff-hunt-says-things-about-to-get-busy-for-atletico-ottawa The salary cap amount was also revealed a few weeks ago , when Gil Marín said directly that the salary cap was $750,000. With some USL teams paying as low as 400K USD (535K in Canadian $) and many in and around the USL league recommended 500K USD for team salaries apparently, the Canadian Premier League is competitive for players with the US league at the $750K range and it was a good starting point for the new Canadian Div 1 in the end. Another added extra for CPL players is the health insurance/medical coverage that also should be factored in.

I could see the following: david cavallini davies- Arfield- hoilett kaye zbg - Vitoria- waterman - Cordova borjan centrebacks could also be Henry, didic, James, you, me, etc

Ballou had posted a picture of him at his sisters wedding yesterday on his Instagram story. Could this be why he was not in the 18?

Nah that's mister215guy
