Another win, still haven't conceded a goal. Jones has stayed healthy for once and has been a rock at the back alongside Bailly.
at 0-0 we missed a pen but Schmeichel was off his line and it should have been retaken. Thankfully it didn't matter. We would have drawn that 0-0 last year

That seems.. a lot

Just passing through to say that we (Vancouver Whitecaps) have the best 16 year old in the world playing for us. I suspect he'll be playing in a couple years for your side, UK Dolfan. He is Marcus Rashford v.2 and his name is Alphonso Davies. Just a heads up.

Time for some international games. NI have never qualified for a world cup in my lifetime, but we have a great shot this time.
The only game we have actually lost so far was away to Germany!
We play San Marino away tonight, which should be absolutely fine. Then we have a huge game in Belfast on Monday against the Czechs...

Never heard of him
but will keep an eye out for him in the future. Hope he is better than the last 16 year old MLS Superstar though!Adu had a trial with United at the very height of his hype, but Fergie (wisely) decided that he didn't rate him. I recall being quite sad about it at the time

Incidentally, Man U scouts have been lurking around our team since last year, asking about him. Right now, even though his skills are quite good, and his vision/knowledge of the game are decent (for a 16 year old), what sets him apart is his pace, strength and poise for a gangly 16 year old. I've never seen anything quite like it. When he was 15 and playing his first game with us, he charged up the right flank with the ball, ran around the Seattle Sounders left back - a very good, fast left back who was all over him and had the angle on him - cut it back (using outside left foot) at the touch line at full pace and was driving towards the net, when the left back had to grab him and draw the PK. I've never seen anyone do that, let alone a 15 year old. Anyhow, like I said, I don't want to jinx him, but he is definitely someone to look out for.
It's true that for every for every Rashford, Pulisic, Mbappe, etc., there are 100 kids who go from "next great player" to "wash out", sadly. That's why us Vancouver fans really don't want the world to know about Davies (or Fonz, as we call him) - just want to be cautious with him. Sadly, the Gold Cup changed all that (he won Golden Boot, Best Young Player and Best XI awards).Never heard of him

0-0 at half time in a game we must win. Stunned we didnt manage to score in the first half.
****ed if we dont win, would be sickening to do so well in much harder games and drop points in an easy game like this
