fcukem both then. Try again next time
100% agree on Larin. WJ, I have a bit of a different take...
Larin's demeanor on the pitch is that of an entitled star on the Canadian team, when the reality is he's done SFA to prove himself beyond the MLS level. DUI, and given the details of the DUI? Fcuk him. When / if he ever returns to the MNT fold, he needs to look closely in the mirror at how he carries himself, take a big bite of some humble pie, and come back a shamed and better person.
WJ...well, he's following a pattern of many a pro retiring from International play, trying to keep his professional career alive. All the Gold Cup is going to do for him right now is risk injury or gas him out, even if he performs at a high level. Neither are good for his professional career going forward (as opposed to Davies, who can put himself in the high end sale window with the way he's playing). No teams are looking to sign WJ to a big deal. MLS knows what he is now, and what he can contribute, which is great for him, but he needs to stay healthy. He can take the time off to recover and rest up for a long summer and finish to the MLS season.
he's paid his due to Canada, and performed quite well under less than ideal circumstances. The current generation of players is poised to bring the program out of the doldrums, but it's guys like Will that kept it alive and on life support for many years. I have no problem with him taking a step back, and opening up a spot for a younger player to step into.
