Borjans Sweatpants Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 15 hours ago, cronaldo7 said: Speaking of Kone jerseys, anyone find a way to get a customizable Canadian jersey with #8 Koné? I’d like to send one to my cousin in England. Canada Soccer Store seemingly doesn’t have him as an option when choosing “Pick-A-Player”. https://www.canadasoccerstore.com/en/mens-nike-red-canada-soccer-2024-home-replica-pick-a-player-jersey/p-244478430798122403+z-93-541663101?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r0c2:po-2 Not sure I see the option for the white though.

Ah my bad, I thought you meant no customizable ones at all, but you're right he's not there. Davies is there though, surprised Kone would be sold out before him (though he obviously has a lot of hype after his performances rightfully so) cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cronaldo7 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I see they have a friendly vs Sunderland this weekend which happens to be owned by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus. Kyril grew up supporting Marseille since his father, Robert Louis-Dreyfus owned them before he passed. Appears that Robert’s ex-wife, still owns 5% of Marseille. So, this friendly definitely makes sense. (Took an interest because some of the info was in the latest season of Sunderland til I Die). costarg, Canuckia and Unnamed Trialist 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his intro video, he said it’s the nickname for his neighbourhood in Montreal- I don’t know if it’s the first two digits of 514, or if it’s specifically for VSL (NDG?). Saw a TikTok a little while back about different neighbourhood slang names in Montreal and I think a few of them are numbers. There’s also a type of liquor, native to Marseille called 51, and I don’t think he knew that, but a lot of fans have taken kindly to him because of his number. 14 hours ago, cronaldo7 said: I see they have a friendly vs Sunderland this weekend which happens to be owned by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus.

I knew she came from aristocracy, didn’t know about the Marseille connection until relatively recently. Funny enough, I’m pretty sure in Seinfeld her character was written as coming from money too. Cool, beautiful, amazing actress, extremely talented, didn’t have to work a day in her life but did it anyways and became one of the most iconic television actors of all time.

ahmedou Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 51 is Parc Extension. Where he comes from. It's an arrondissement of Montreal. That'll make more sense to me.

This man grew up riding the blue line end to end to go play soccer. No surprise that sort of drive put him into a top 5 league so quickly. ahmedou and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrealers talents don't go to Montreal Impact, No CF Montreal, etc. St Laurent is the best soccer club in Montreal for developing youth in soccer and to play youth soccer at the best level. costarg, johnyb, Obinna and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but since he played at NDG before that, I figured he was based somewhere in the west end of the city. Whenever someone mentions where our guys are from, they always note that Kone and Bombito are VSL guys. This is the first I’ve heard that he’s from Parc Ex. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
