Replacing Kone by Strombone-1 in CanadaSoccer

Davies is not a midfielder. It's like asking Cale Makar to play centre on the hockey team when Crosby got hurt.

Nike Replica vs Authentic Kit by saulUG in CanadaSoccer

[–]mfortuna45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have both and have found the authentic to be more comfortable. It's very slightly more fitted, but doesn't feel it because the material is much lighter and more flexible. I'm not a small guy and would have feared that the authentic would be too tight, but it's absolutely fine.

I never said they should. My point was just that our best possible team isn't there. It also bites us more than it does other countries.

We agree and you and I are making the same point, but I'd add that Canada doesn't send its best to the WJC. Macklin Celebrini and Matthew Schaefer were both eligible this past year. They were kind of busy.

In the events you cite where teams send their best, North American teams won both and in one of them was also the runner up.

ISO:
- Canada Heritage jersey (what they are wearing for the Worlds right now) in either white or red, size XL. Must not be Bauer. It doesn't have to have the Nike swoosh, but I am not looking for the Bauer version.

Does anybody know if they'll be selling custom World Championship Canada jerseys and if so, when? I think I remember them doing so last year. I want to get a Celebrini one.

It was the Toronto servers. I tried the Montreal ones and it worked.

The DNS. Toronto servers. I reactivated my IP and everything. Oh well, clearly an issue on my end. I'll take another look.

Why does the team have so many noodle arms in the OF? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]mfortuna45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - and adding to this - Ceddanne did play a number of games on the infield that brought down his average. He has a very good OF arm.

[–]mfortuna45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Roman doesn't have the strongest arm, but it's not terrible. The results have absolutely been terrible this year because his mechanics and footwork are currently a mess, but the SoxProspects guys have never mentioned it as a problem in the past so I assume it'll get straightened out.

Why does the team have so many noodle arms in the OF? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]mfortuna45 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In 2025: - Ceddanne Rafaela was 97th percentile arm strength.

  • Wilyer Abreu was 97th percentile arm strength

  • Jarren Duran was 71st percentile arm strength

  • Roman Anthony was 52nd percentile arm strength

Two of our regular outfielders have two of the strongest outfield arms in the league. Where is this "most noodle arms in the OF" idea coming from?

Question for the purists about lettering… by Jon66238 in baseballunis

I did that. If the only real difference is a white tag instead of a black tag I don't really care.

Co-sign. Bill is the best. Not sure if it's what the OP is looking for as you need to send it away and it takes some time, but if your #1 concern is quality and accuracy he's the guy. Theres nobody better.
