FIFA World Cup 2022: Qualification Stage

I was mocked for wanting to put a Canadian in Liverpool colors back in the TIA days. hrmm…

he’s lighting it up. $20mil Cdn is what Bayern paid Vancouver for him.

I’ve not seen him given full license to roam like he was given last night by the coaching staff. he was popping up everywhere. He’s the Canadian version of Alaba for Austria!

We might get a Canadian red if we buy Jonathan David.

He was a striker for Vancouver, and a very good one. Bayern saw his talent but there’s no way he’s replacing Lewandowski, so they put him at fullback. Canada played him up top I think for the first time in the qualifiers, though I could be wrong about that. Canada was good on Wednesday and could have scored seven or eight.

I live in Vancouver, saw him playing for Whitecaps a few times when he was 16/17. good emerging talent, but he wasn’t playing striker. Caps set up in a 4-4-2 and he was playing LM/RM.

He made a good showing for Whitecaps, last time I saw him was a Concacaf cup against America. Gignac was playing for them. Fonzie was already showing class at that point. wasn’t surprised to see Bayern snap him up.

I mentioned Jonathan David in another thread, and was shot down. won’t bring it up again.

Swerve.

LOL see? haha

Doesn’t look like Thiago went with Spain.

I assume Jota will start one and bench one they generally do that in Portugal.

Fingers crossed

Don’t think he’s been called up since Euro’s. And he lost his place in that XI slightly before Euro’s.

Pen for Germany. Goretzka took a horrible, studs first boot to the chin. That was bad.

Red card.

EDIT: completely unintentional, absolutely no malice, defenders eyes on the ball the entire time, but he has to go.

Yeah I know he hadn’t gone the last two occasions

Sadio Mane taken off after 28 minutes tonight, not sure what injury is.

Rib/stomach related according to reports and his thread on here
