Phonzie | TSN Original

He was born on a refugee camp in Africa to parents fleeing war. Alphonso Davies’ family had no money, no help and no hope. Now, he’s the crown jewel of the Canadian national soccer program, as well as signing with Bayern Munich. Rick Westhead has more in this TSN Original: Phonzie.

The date is 2/25/2020. Barely 8 months after this video: Davies destroys Chelsea like nobody ever did. This kid is one of the best things that happened to football in the past years. One example for the ages!

What a beautiful documentary. I was at his last MLS game, against Portland when he scored 2 goals, and everyone in the crowd was cheering when he scored those two goals. Even the Portland fans were cheering, even though they are one of our biggest rivals. That shows you how much he means to North America.

I've been watching this kid since he was 16 and I've always known he was special because you'd see flashes, but I never pictured this. For him to be able to show his world-class skills in meaningful games in front of the whole world to see is amazing. I'm happy for him and wish him continued health and success.

He's playing a lot for the second team.

[@DerOnly]

@@samliu2555 Well "a lot" might be exaggerated, but he did play 5 games for them - which is only 1 game less compared to the first team and he actually played a lot more if you count the minutes as he played the full 90 minutes in all 5 games.
