Norbert Janas played keeper for juve when they won at nationals(1995's) A quick google search found that he played a match for Polonia in the EDSA indoor season this season. He's a keeper and it looks like a good one. He also attended one of Edmonton Catholic Schools many Soccer academies at St Edmund. Not sure if he's born and raised Canadian but he clearly has Polish ties.

On a side note, there was another keeper from Edmonton who attended a local public school's soccer academy who went on to turn his back on Canada too. Not gonna say the same about Norbert because I just don't know enough about his background but it's a shame he isn't Canadian.

Poland

Robert Sing didn't make first league team, Podbeskidzie Bielsko Biala. He took part in all camps and played all games, but the coach let him go.

Seems like Robert Sing is on trial at Polish second tier club Wisla Plock: http://wisla.plocman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=141213&sid=9352daa1ce8ea7fb912826b63c612d09

Perhaps a Polish reader can help figure out his status

He's also mentioned a couple times here: http://ligapolska.info/pages/transfery---1.-liga---zima-20102011.php

@ @cnclifford no,hoping for a Scotland call up if I can keep my place in the Celtic team.

I believe the "no" is in response to whether he would consider Canada, not whether he's eligible.

Thanks for that. Since he's appeared for Scotland U21 i'm going to keep him off the list. It's consistency, I keep all of the other eligible players who have represented other countries at the youth level off the list as well.

The tweet he responded to was "Are you eligible for Canada and, if so, would you ever consider joining our national team?"

Strange one: Kennedy Owosu-Ansah signed with Frank Jonke's club AC Oulu on March 1st and then had his contract terminated on March 2nd for "personal reasons."

March 6th, as I reported before, he trialed in a League Cup match for AC Oulu, so I'm not sure what the deal is...

AC Oulu's Zambian player Donewell Yobe was arrested yesterday at the airport on allegations of match-fixing so obviously some dramatic things are going on at Oulu these days.

Seems a few of the players at RoPS are alleged to have been involved and KOW's name has come-up in speculation on some of the fan boards as four foreign RoPS players were taken from the training ground for questioning. No confirmation, let me be clear, but it might explain the strange contractual dealings. Apparently hundreds of thousands of dollars and as many as ten matches involved - Singapore gambling circuits - surprise, surprise.

The FM admin. frequents this board, his handle is "Aljarov". If he has proof i'd love for him to post it.

EPSN lists his birthplace as "Uruguay"

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/146654/andr%C3%A9s-fresenga?cc=5901

Looks like even if he is Canadian, he wants to play for Uruguay. This is the roster for a pre-qualifying tournament camp for domestic players:

Though he didn't make the cut for the squad that played in qualifying:

Fresenga was born in Toronto. Has dual Canadian and Uruguayan citizenship. He did not try out for the Uruguayan national team. He was considered but due to an injury he did not attend the camp.

I'm questioning the validity of the CSA release vis-a-vis the status of Grant, Cavallini and Osorio with Club Nacional. They joined Nacional for a 6 month training stint back in 2009 and I had removed from the MOACA, but then the CSA started listing them with the club in their roster releases so I've added them back on. But a peek at the U19 roster from last season shows they weren't there:

Plock plays in the Polish 2nd Division but that is the third tier of Polish football: Ekstraklasa, 1 Liga, 2 Liga. Plock is currently in a promotion spot but the race is very close.

I was responding mostly to my initial post about the player, when at that time it was suggested by you that he wasn't Canadian. But I will make sure to go to page 1 each time I post....

Here's what i posted:

Fresenga is listed as Uruguayan at both of these sites:

http://www.footballdatabase.eu/footb...112358.en.html

http://www.fussballtransfers.com/spi...ndres-fresenga

Gonna need proof he's Canadian before i post him on here...don't think that was unreasonable.
