Any CB help is welcomed.

Borjan is on the move after a disagreement with his Manager. I think the CPL would likely be a later journey for Borjan, would love to see him in the MLS.

Well, I was able to get 4 tix in the away supporters section for Hamilton. Now, just please don't close the border!

Haha congrats... I guess.... Dress warmly, the wind up in that corner of the stadium is brutal!

 

[Basement Cat]

Yes, I am getting mentally prepared for the brutality. Thank goodness it's a 3pm start time! A few degrees difference should help a bit and I can get home by 1AM instead of 4 or 5AM.

This comes out of nowhere.. hope it doesn't unsettle him.

Man. If our boys can pull this off, I don’t even know what I am gonna do with myself. I’ll probably just sit quietly for a while. Maybe cry. It’s just been such a long and painful journey. I am 39. I know my wait pales in comparison to a lot of you. But it’s not insignificant. I have watched, with all my heart behind them, six failed World Cup qualification cycles. My grandparents on my dad’s side are from Italy. So 1994 was an eye opener into the beautiful world of international soccer. My first question about it was “why isn’t Canada here?” Ever since then I have obsessed over it. Man. Eight games into this, out of 14? First place? Top three auto qualify? Fourth plays a team at best 110 in the world? I feel the tears welling. Omg.

Anyway. Allez.

A little "friendly" training match vs Guatemala on Jan 22 in Fort Lauderdale.

Canada to face Guatemala in Florida ahead of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - Canada Soccer

Another goal for David, this one to put Lille up 3-2. Then a tribute to his mother Rose who died a couple years ago.

 

[robertmac43]

This is pretty cool!

 

[Tuggy]

He's showcasing in Europe. Stop in Liverpool.

[robertmac43]

Yikes I don't love that for Allistair. Montreal is such an inconsistent sporadic club from top to bottom. Hopefully, he goes abroad in the not too distant future to continue his growth.

My sentiments exactly. Hopefully it is just a short stint before he heads off to Europe.

Quite the backwards move for the lad.

This will be interesting to follow:

 

[Savant]

He's showcasing in Europe. Stop in Liverpool.

There is some noise LFC wants to make a permanent move. Bower very reliable on LFC as well. Posted this as well

Would have been better for him to end up in Belgium or something.

21 days of canceled ticketed events. Not looking good for the Can v USA game but there is still a chance!

 

[al secord]

If there are no fans, move it to a proper field in the states. We can match their skill, just not their defense.

 

[Tuggy]

Great to see him back on the pitch.

 

[al secord]

Junior will not go gently into that good night.

And another

[JeffreyLFC]

He will be fine by then.

 

[robertmac43]

He will continue to get some important minutes as we continue down qualification.
