Carles Gil

DC United v NE Revolution last night. Ex-villa scorers on both sides. I didn’t see it. Of course Benteke doesn’t score whenever I watch.

As someone relatively new to soccer, I’ve been following the Revs and the USMNT because my 10 year old loves the game, I’ve been wondering about Gil’s relative talent level. If Gil was American would he play/start for the USMNT? Aside from the politics of player selection, and fitting in with other players or the team’s scheme. I mean just relative talent level. Is Pulisic a significantly better player right now than Gil? Maybe apples to oranges but you get the idea.

To me he seems like one of the best players in MLS. I realize that MLS is not a top league, but Buchanon is one of Canada’s better players and while he’s younger, Gil was the better player. At least I thought he was. I’m curious what some of you all who know more about soccer think.

That is all

Hey everyone, my dream is to meet Carles Gil. He used to play for my home team (Deportivo La Coruña) and now that I am living in Boston, I have gone to Revs games to watch him play and bought an authentic Gil jersey. I really want to meet him in person and ask him to sign either my Depor jersey or Revs jersey, and talk to him in Spanish about Coruña. My plan is to try and go to a training session to see him, do you know how I could do this/figure out how to meet with him in person?

Thank you for your help in making this dream a reality!

I know he massively underperformed at Villa so this may leave a bad taste for some, but Carles Gil was just named MVP this season in the MLS. Being a lifelong Bostonian and Villa fan, I’ve had a really fascinating experience continuing to watch him play after his transfer and he is now as close to a household name as MLS soccer players go in New England. Up the Revs and up the Villa!

So I’ve been going to games for 15+ years now and I’ve noticed not many of the chants from the fort have changed.

I’d love for more player specific songs.

I went to the galaxy game w a mate of mine and we came up with a Carles Gil song to the tune of

Carles Gil is magic

He wears a magic hat

He could’ve played at villa

He didn’t fancy that

Instead he’s at New England

And sings sweet Caroline

Oh Carles Gil I fucking love that you are mine

Me and my mate couldn’t stop singing it so I figured I’d share it here. The team is shite but I’ll keep watching
