He is progressing. This season has been his most consistent, playing in 33 games. He is considered a player with lots of potential by FC Ingolstadt management. And played 90 in both of the most important games of the club's season. So I would not write him off quite yet. Under contract till end of next season. Not bad for a Calgary SWU kid.

Thanks for the expert opinion.

And Nurnberg break hearts here with an away goal 6 minutes into extra time.

No stream but kicker.de has live animation of the play in their 'ticker': https://www.kicker.de/4650125/ticker/fc-ingolstadt-04-7659/1-fc-nuernberg-81

Some of the 'sports experts' in this country are outright embarassing. Some asshats from Sportsnet had an interview with a German soccer reporter when the re-start was announced and they asked "How do the players in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 1 feel about the prospect of playing without fans". Having watched the clip, they certainly mangled the ********** back story with that provincial team nonsense.

Being a Flames fan, thanks for the humour. Davies will be the best known Cdn athlete on the planet by end of this year.

Thanks for the laugh in these times.

You've never heard of him and yet you pipe up with an opinion. Sit yourself down fool.

The Whitecaps come off as I expected in that piece. What a waste of a soccer market having these clowns at the top. No evidence of any money from that deal (including the extra 10% they squeezed out) being spent on product on the field.

Recognize a number of folks who are no longer actively posting (maybe viewing at times) - Grizzly, RedHat, Daniel and Canuck in Boston. I've met all but C in B I think.

Sorry never bothered to read the match report, just checked the ratings on the lineups tab as I was curious with all these people saying he had a relatively poor match. I always use the .de version.

kicker.de had his rating at 2.5, tied with Kimmich and Pavard as highest on the team for the Union Berlin vs Bayern Munchen game.

I have a team photo by my desk with his nephew in it. Just to be clear that I am not some super creepy fan of Kevin and his extended family, his nephew was on the last boys' team I coached, along with my son.

Never saw this thread. Oliver played with the Foothills PDL squad a few years ago when he was still quite young. Trained with Thomas Niendorf at his west coast academy before trying to make it in Denmark. Has a Danish passport. Know him and his family quite well as I coached his older brother who is my son's age and Oliver was in Kindergarten thru Grade 9 with my daughter who is also a 2000.

That's a bit harsh. Comments on his playing aside, he did say a lot of the family had moved south so may have not had relatives to visit. Also, his dad and mom went their separate ways when Landon was quite young so visiting him would be hard enough, let alone his Dad Tim's home town, which Tim left when he was a young man. His dad is an alright guy. Spoke to him several times back in the early 2000's. Proud of his son and liked to say that Landon played soccer like a hockey player.
