In the last 15 minutes of play, I heard the commentators say : Laryea has had a very good game. Richie Laryea has been outstanding. Richie Laryea has been fanstastic in this game. Not surprisingly, Richie was the highest rated Canadian player....by Sports Illustrated https://www.si.com/soccer/canada-player-ratings-vs-bosnia-herzegovina-canada-collects-first-ever-world-cup-point-6-12-26 LB: Richie Laryea—7.9: Ran a marathon down the left wing. Stout defensively and a valuable asset going forward. A strong showing should’ve been rewarded with a goal, but Kolašinac denied him with an incredible block near the goal-line.

@Zips1991 Darn. So close, but what a great save by the defender.

Richie was outstanding today. Congratulations to him and the Canadian team. They can win their pod.

He had what looked like a surefire goal cleared off the line. 😑

People are calling it fake news on X and it hasn't been confirmed by the school or athletic department, a $12,000,000 royalty seems a bit outrageous. I did see that Missouri state (69th out of 136 FBS schools in team usage) and UCLA (27th out of 136 FBS schools in team usage) announced at their board of governors meetings that they received over $100,000 and $200,000 so I'd also be curious what UA received. If I had to guess probably under $100,000 but probably still in the top half of teams in the MAC

I did my part! I got about 15 seasons in with them.

Per an IG post, Jared Embick and Ger Coppinger are in attendance in Toronto. Go Richie, Go 🇨🇦!!!

Richie is starting today's match. Kickoff at 3 pm EST.

They have to be a fairly popular dynasty play just because the team is in that "this'll be fun to try and win with Akron" level.

My first two thoughts when I look at that photo are - I hardly know most of these guys I’m happy to see Barre isn’t in a walking boot

Look, I think we can all agree that the biggest winner of the 29-point Game 4 comeback is the Game 1 Cavaliers fourth quarter performance.

I hear the soon to be crowned world champs New York Knicks will be sending 3 scouts to each of his games.

Always running Oggie down. St. John's will definitely be scouting him at the home games. Will be tuning into MAAC games on ESPN+ to watch him play.

I still think Stankovic can be a good player. Coming to the United States without a full summer of preparation had to be difficult. He absolutely showed flashes of talent at times, he just wasn't consistent or polished enough to be out there when it mattered.

He's gone, but these guys are here. Significantly bigger this year. Very much looking forward to seeing this squad in action, but I will gladly be patient so we don't rush back into the crappy weather seasons.

He also wasn't quick and wasn't a decent defender and that doesn't work in a Groce scheme.

That definitely was an issue and likely why he completely fell out of the rotation. I do think the speed of the American game, especially the pace Akron wanted to play, was too much of an adjustment for him. Not because he wasn't athletic enough, but because he lacked the ability to make the right basketball play in split second decision making. D1 college basketball, even at the MAC level, is a higher level of competition than you see at many of these 2nd or 3rd tier overseas leagues.

The only hype was because of the Euro mystique. No one would have cared about that dude if he was from alliance

The hype was warranted to an extent. Helen Keller could see there's raw, natural athleticism/ability with his game. The issue, like I believe Hilltopper said, is he wasn't coachable. Good luck at Manhattan, Big Stank.

Average seems like a generous term. I think people got too invested in the offseason hype. It never translated.

I've never seen fans take more to such an average player.
