OT: Alphonso Davies (and other European football talk)

[AM]

I still can't believe it. I was pretty unhappy about him possibly going to City, and when it started coming out that United may have hijacked the deal, I was glued to social media pretty much all night. Felt like a kid on Christmas Eve.

My guess is that United will have earned back the transfer fee between sponsorships and kit sales within a month.

I grew up in Aberdeen while Ferguson was manager. Enjoyed watching manu while he was there. Pretty excited to see what comes with this new move.

Watching the Denmark/Scotland game. They played the Scottish national anthem with the bagpipes. Can't say I've heard it before. Recorded, of course.

Bazunu with the big penalty save on CR7 in the Portugal/Ireland game. Penalty call was iffy.

 

[oilers'72]

@Bryanbryoil should be ecstatic. CR7 scored the GTG in the 90th and then the winner in the 90th+6 to avoid defeat to the Irish.

Sorry, too cold and tired to type much. Just to say plenty of games tomorrow, starting at 4 AM to 3 PM.

 

[Mrgnwllm]

Canada tonight and Sportsnet picked it up. These next 7 games in WCQ are huge for Canadian soccer . Honduras won’t be easy but with David and Davies we have a great chance .

 

[oilers'72]

Expect some fallout from the Hungary/England game. There were some monkey chanting towards a few of the England players. Also, cups being thrown at the England players after they scored and a flare thrown on to the field before the start of the 2nd half.

Brazil and Argentina kicked off but, shortly thereafter, the game was stopped with health officials saying that 4 Argentine players shouldn't be in the country due to Covid. Not sure if and when the game will take place.

These black Canada kits are fire

Wouldn't have expected to like them but the way the club played with verve wearing them its easy to get behind. They looked good in them.

 

[Mrgnwllm]

Those kits are very sharp.
