Well done Alphonso! Way to represent. Much ❤
Once a wise person said; you live a beautiful life, you have worked so hard, and you have suffered to get to be where you are. " but You got no family, no kids to keep you alive. What Davies needs, is a family to keep him alive. Heads up man.
Great story.
All the best in the future Alphonso ❤
Every time Bayern Munich loses its because of this guy.
An inspiration in so many ways.
Good lad and legend in the making. Wish him personal happiness and success
The beautiful white girl used you for fame
Overrated trash

Jow bro we love you so muche
Soon he plays for germany🎉
Does not matter where you are from , we can all achieve greatness and do good for others… this Guy is a true inspiration and a great natural footballing talent .
"greatness, and his unwavering" is ungrammatical. No comma needed unless it is a list of more than two.
As much as I hate them: Bayern Munich are not a franchise!!!!
"greatness"? 🤣🤣🤣
I think he is a selfish player when he play for Canada
Jesus Christ is king ❤✝️✝️✝️✝️❤️
Imagine playing against Davies as a 15 yr old ☠☠
If I scored that first World Cup goal for Canada, I was retiring that same moment.
What a Legend, keep it going bro
Why not call out Chris Jones???
We`re so pleased to have him here in Munich <3 such a great guy!!! we all love him here so much!!!! <3 <3 <3
