Tours de France: Maki Tall's Next Stage

For posterity, I'll link to his inclusion in the final roster for the U20 World Cup:

Red Star currently sits at the top of the table and has won promotion to Ligue 2. We'll see if Tall sticks around next year as he's on loan.

 

He's also out of contract after this season.

 

Might be a confidence thing not playing more with Red Star.. Hmm this u20 WC will be his show case so let's see what he's got with real determination

 

The dreaded "loaned out in a final contract year" status.

 

Highlights from this game a few months ago.

 

All these times everyone was saying Red Star I thought he was in Serbia.

 

Red star won the league and was promoted Ligue 2 today in incredable fashion. Won 4 to 3 after being down 3 to 1 in the 90th. They scored on the 90 +1, 90 + 2, and 90 + 3.

Smells fishy, but I like it nonetheless.

 

I wanted to bump this thread after watching him play at the U-20 World Cup. Very impressive kid. Great movement off the ball and very very fast. This World Cup could see him get picked up from a bigger club.

 

And now provisionally cap-tied to the US.

 

He had a nicely taken goal and was a threat every minute the US had the ball. He plays with both speed and power. He's also quite a mature player and is intelligent for his age.

 

Lille is a pretty big club. Any bigger then we get the talking about RM lol.

 

He's not going back to Lille. His contract is done

 

Meaning that if he wanted to play for another country (France, Ivory Coast) he'd have to file a one-time switch, right?

 

That is correct.

 

Hope he signs back on with Red Star.

 

Out 6-8 weeks with a broken toe:

Jeezus, I can barely keep up with all the injuries.

SMH.

 

Even worse news if it affects his preseason with his club.

 

I will be missing the rest of the World Cup . Good luck to the boys 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/bAnL25StVA

Played in the 1st U20 match, so he is provisionally cap-tied to the US.

 

Is a HELL of a player. I see big things for him. U20 group is mssing out on quality with his injury.

 

Shaq Moore and Maki Tall could pass for brothers.

 

Would it be possible for a mod to merge this thread with the other Maki Tall thread?

@bungadiri ?

 

I know this post is old but that first penalty should've been retaken for encroachment.
