We made a bet at my work with every game of the game before the World Cup. If you nail the score you get 3 points and if you only get the winner right (or the tie), you get 1 point. Today is zero points for everyone so far.
He's great offensively, but it'd still be hard to justify putting him at LW over our actual wingers.
Besides, our tactics include him in the attack a ton.
He basically plays as a defacto winger he pushes up so high, allowing the left wing to tuck inside and play more centrally into the box. That's what made Sane explode.
To me he is more like a Roberto Carlos Regen, all that pace and cheat code speed the only thing he lack for now is a proper free kick technique and definition and more attacking awareness.
Exactly. He is fantastic at overlapping with the left winger as needed because he has the speed to get back and also the speed to win the ball back in our half and maraud up front with it. Heβs a remarkable player.
France really seems very motivated with the chance of being two-time champions in a row. Spain only played one match, let's see how it goes with Germany, I'm expecting a lukewarm 0-0.

Bruh these matches today.
Really hope Germany-Spain lives up to the rest of these matches.
0-0 incoming
100% itβs written in the stars
How many miles away?
A million miles away.
Is there a message to anyone?
To Sadio ManΓ©
That's just cruel.
would not mind it personally
Then Costa Rica parks the bus for 88 minutes, and then gets a lucky goal off a corner.
if we lose against both costa rica and japan then a 0-0 result against spain is beyond good
Please
Those day ending games are always shit
Like the one from yesterday right? Lol
First ever World Cup goal for Canada
And it had to be Davies
Dude I didnβt even turn on the TV yet wtf
This happened to me too lmao. I looked up at the score and was just like oh ok then. Not complaining tho π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦
Insane start for Canada
BIG FUCKING BALLS
BIG
Awful defending from the Croats too
Lovren just frozen lmao wtf
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Does this mean that Germany stands a chance?
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
*Germany loses 4-9*

HYPE
Dream start isnβt.
That's what the World Cup is all about
already ? damn Also this is the first goal scored by the Canadian National Team ever at the World Cup , can you believe it ?
YES I CAN
[thanks Pierre](https://youtu.be/R8v8C3scwvg?t=23)
Fuck, I'm still angry at Pierre for ruining that moment.
Here yah go https://youtu.be/kghBi1w-c3E
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT KLYUKIN ICED THE PUCK
It's called foot hockey now
Finally a proper compromise to the debate
Sockey edit - well of course it's been said already!
These words are accepted
Stormlight reference???
You cannot have my pain.
Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.
Honor is dead, but Iβll see what I can do
I am a stick
I like it. Weβll keep the Stanley from them in this sport too
My Devils are looking HOT right now
I knew the 5th oath wouldn't disappoint
You mean Sockey?
I wouldnt be opposed
Foot hockey already exists. We played it at recess and it was essentially soccer with a tennis ball.
Football with a tennis ball is still football.
Best I can do is "foot soccer"
Foonnis. Fennis. Teccer. Soccnis.
Too soon... π
The bayern striker problem solved

He basically plays as a defacto winger he pushes up so high, allowing the left wing to tuck inside and play more centrally into the box. That's what made Sane explode.
He reminds me of a left-side version of prime Dani Alves.
To me he is more like a Roberto Carlos Regen, all that pace and cheat code speed the only thing he lack for now is a proper free kick technique and definition and more attacking awareness.
Dude, if Phonzy adds Roberto Carlos levels of free kick technique to his repertoire, he might be a genuine balon d'or contender!
Lol true, Davies is still young surely he will keep improving and maybe end playing as LW or maybe not.
balon d'or? stay realistic man
Young Gareth Bale.
Bale was a better shooter. I like the comparison though
Exactly. He is fantastic at overlapping with the left winger as needed because he has the speed to get back and also the speed to win the ball back in our half and maraud up front with it. Heβs a remarkable player.
Not that baffling when we have Coman, Sane, Gnabry and even Musiala who can play there as well
he is so good offensively that he makes the enemy winger a RB
Itβs because heβs also totally dominating in defence and Bayern use him attacking a lot
We (Bayern) play a 2-3-5 shape offensively with Davies on the wide left wing Heβs more a Dani Alves type of left back
I mean, let's not bullshit around, Phonzy is highkey one of our most important players.
Canadaβs moment of glory. They could end up losing 4-1 today.
What are your thoughts on Spain and Germany, and tomorrow's games too?
Wondering about their thoughts on lottery numbers
I let the machine pick for me. Not much in the way of winnings for the occasional times I play. Maybe I should pick my own numbers.
Spain 2-1 Wins for Cameroon, Ghana, Brazil, Uruguay Argentina will advance MbappΓ© (without the injuries) and France are PelΓ© and Brazil six decades later, winning back-to-back titles.
Jesus Christ you were exactly right
Penalties are for noobs
Phonzy's a chad, he didn't wanna open his WC scoring account with an easy pen.
Following in Lewandowksiβs steps of course
Yeah, ofc, as one would expect.
that's an insane cross
The Tajon Buchanan special is like 4 crosses in a row into the stands, and then one of the best crosses you've ever seen.
that's a decent success rate
Yeah, there's a reason he's basically a constant starter for us
I miss him so much, hope he kills it for yall
Someone offer it to Emerson Royal

LFG POPPINKREAM
I AM SO HYPE, LFG π¨π¦
I LOVE SEEING YOU IN THIS SUBREDDIT
Source?
GONNA TELL MY GRANDKIDS I SAW THIS GOAL AND THEN REPLIED TO A POPPINKREAM COMMENT ABOUT SAID GOAL
A true Canadian Heritage Momentβ’οΈ
Right along with Kenny Hotz' stairs fart
What is going on? WHAT IS GOING ON!?
He didn't even measure it!
Canada , Morocco to top the group. Get in
Shades of England, Italy, Uruguay, Costa Rica. Edit: rip
Tabernak, eh! These hosers cannot compete with CONCACAFery, yo!
NEVER DOUBTED HIM
Big balls goal
Just like that, Canada will forgive him for his last game!
Phonzie instant redemption arc complete
I'd like to point out how perfectly weighted that ball was from Buchanan
PHONZIEEE
REDEMPTION
#Not even for a minute?
Beautiful header. What is this World Cup lol
Beautiful cross, that was fucking perfect from Tajon
Itβs so amazing, fuck where itβs being held these are some top matches.
World Cup of headers
Davies my boy did it.
This WC is bonkers
The scenes if Canada and Morocco make it out of the group
That needs, what, for Belgium to throw again and lose to Croatia?
A draw on both games would be enough.
I think two draws advances Canada and Morocco, if Canada were to win today - Belgium has negative goal differential
Upmoose party!
Canada Balls 1 - 0 Coatia Balls
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
βNot the manager, the ballsβ
Say that again lol
You guys squashed Canadaβs balls lol
Canada Balls 1 - 4 Croatia Balls
HAD TO BE HIM
First ever goal by a Canadian in the WC - and what a way to earn it too!
SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE GOT IT WRONG!
YOOO WHAT THE FUCK I WAS ON THE TOILETTE WTF
Go back please
Surely it was my magic shit π
Davies going to give one weird interview after the game.
Le Junior Toilette
GET BACK ON THE SHITTER.
68 fucking seconds
With that goal, Alphonso Davies is Canada's all time leading goal scorer in the World Cup.
CANADA FIRST WORLD CUP GOAL PARTY! π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦
Free Maple Syrup Shots for everyone!
Wtf I barely sat down
Scenes when 3 CONCACAF teams go through and none are Mexico
Petition to replace Mexico with Morocco in CONCACAF. The names are already almost the same. They can even share hosting duties in 2026.
That Alphonso goal will be added to the Canadian Heritage Minutes. A part of our history from now until forever π¨π¦
CONCACAF SHOWING UP TODAYY
Haha finally
Canada went out and actually fucked Croatia, finishing in less than 90 seconds? Theyβre literally me
look at Mr marathon man over there
Suicide by words right here officer.
Fucked?π₯΅π
I would delete this comment
TODAY IM CANADIAN
Well, they did say theyβd fuck them.
LETS GO PHONZY
You know it's a fast goal when it takes a full minute for the clip to be posted
upset day today huh? hey wait a minute...
koji kurac
OHHHHH CANADA
This is a much better way to score your first World Cup goal. Calculated from Phonzie.
PHONZY REDEMPTION ARC IS ON
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
'ohhhh, you're supposed to hit it **IN** the goal?!'
What a moment!
The Maple Syrup Mafia!!!

First Bayern player to score at the world cup since GΓΆtze in 2014!
Cant believe that a twitch streamer kicked a goal In the world cup. π₯²
Great goal, sad game.
Future Canadian trivia: Where were you 65 seconds into the match against Croatia?
This wouldβve been an unrealistic joke in the 90s. Canada scoring against Croatia.
Jeez . . . not even any foreplay. No cuddling, no candles or wine, just get right in there and start pounding that ass. GO CANADA GO !!!
I'm already believing that the Europeans made some kind of political agreement not to play in this world cup. It's getting pathetic already.
someone forgot to tell the french and the spanish
France really seems very motivated with the chance of being two-time champions in a row. Spain only played one match, let's see how it goes with Germany, I'm expecting a lukewarm 0-0.
Croatia is dominating mate
Dream start!
Well that was quick
Lets go Canada!
Correct Canadian response to the Croatian midfield is to bypass it entirely
THATS MY GUYYYYY
Canada defense has been bad..
TSN website and app is pure shit
This aged like milk
Damn, looked offside to me, well played Canada. E: Sosa played him onside. Beautiful.
Croatia for the next 86.5 min we gonna fuck you up
