If the hex started today we’d be in at spot #6. It doesn’t so we need to win the return fixture or at the very least draw.
Ottawa Fury folded a few weeks back. Long story short the new Canadian league wanted them to join but they preferred staying in the USL. CONCACAF pres tried to force them in last year but wasn’t successful. He threatened to sanction any organization that didn’t turn their backs on the Fury, leaving them with a decision. Join CPL or suspend/fold the team. Ownership group doesn’t want to have anything to do with the CPL group so they suspended the team. Hearing there might be a new team put here in Ottawa. Quite surprised at the ownership group interested in acquiring a franchise. Word should get out soon.
Jonathan David with a brace last night. Up to 15G and 8A in the league this season and I would guess in the contention for Belgian League player of the season. He’ll move somewhere for big money this summer.
The chase down he had, I think last week, was absolutely nuts for an attacker to be getting back like that
David I’m not surprised about. It’s Davies continued development that impressed me. He still doesn’t have the touch or soccer IQ that David has but he’s learned to play within his strengths. Both are becoming high end young talents.
29 games is not a small sample size, imo. What’s it like having a world class teenager? Value on transfermarkt is up to 44M. He’s the 7th most valuable left back in the world and the 5th most valuable teenager behind only Sancho, Håland, Junior, and Rodrygo.
Good step for him. If he continues to progress he could end up at an elite level club within a year or two.
David gets his first league goal for Lille. He’s had some blown chances in other matches so maybe this will give him a confidence boost. Also has an assist
He’s played really well lately, especially the Milan match and this one. But getting that first goal is super important to end the drought. Hopefully this opens the flood gates.
Davies went trial a few times before Vancouver would commit to him. Edmonton had to beg WC to look at him. Such a poorly run organization.
Lille are on top of Ligue 1 table but I get what you’re saying. Was linked a lot to Bundesliga clubs and I remember one interview posted where he said that’s where he expected to go so wouldn’t be surprised for that to be the next move
What’s happened to the women’s squad? I know losing the arguably best player of all time is tough, but they’ve had a long time to develop someone. The offensive regression has been crazy to see in the SheBelieves
Agreed they would wait until after a Champions League run. Next summer would be the right time unless someone makes an incredible offer.
