‘THAT‘ Alphonso Davies goal: What. Just. Happened?

‍

OK, stop what you’re doing - because Alphonso Davies may have just scored the BEST goal in Canadian football history...

Number one: the speed.

Phonzy closed down a NO HOPE ball that was literally 50 yards away. 50 freaking Y-A-R-D-S people! 

He made up the distance SO FAST that he may as well have been in a Tesla model 3 in Ludicrous Mode; or full-on Neo, bending the laws of physics in Matrix time.

Number two: the Fuck-that moment.

Close the defender down? For sure. 

Get the ball off him? Yeah, I understand. 

But do it with a little back foot shimmy that sends him off the pitch, and makes him look like a TOTAL bitch? 

Ohhhh Phonzy, you are NASTY…

Number three: put a cherry on that f*ck-you pie as well.

Phonzy bombed into the box, skipped past another defender like he wasn't there, and then finished at the near post.

The run and skill ALONE would have made it onto highlight reels around the world - but to serve up a goal as well means the keeper and defenders involved are looking at 18 months of therapy at least.

Number four is just a note for the Canadian men’s team in general: go easy with the merchandise guys.

Phonzy got a nasty shove in the back on his way to celebrate this one. Maybe DON’T do this in future? 

Why? Because the future of Canadian football itself kind of rests on this guy.
