No Time Like The Present to be A Canadian Footballer in Europe...

Canadian footballers may not yet be the toast of Europe, but 2020/21 has certainly been a season of unprecedented success.

Just yesterday at the neat little Raymond Kopa Stadium in Angers, France, Canada’s most talented striker Jonathan David (21), became a title-winner for the first time in his fledgling career.

Playing up top for Lille OSC, he scored the first goal and won the penalty for the second as his team claimed the three points needed to pip mighty Paris-St-Germain, Mbappe, Neymar et al, to an unlikely French Ligue 1 title - only the fourth in their history.
