DJT Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Guidelines for this thread In this thread post match updates on all Canadians abroad for March 18-24, 2011. If you find updates posted in some other thread or on the other Voyageurs forum then post them here as well, but be sure to credit the original poster. If there is news that is particularly significant (eg. someone scores a big goal, someone gets injured, etc.) then feel free to begin a new thread on that topic in order to draw greater attention or start a discussion, but also post that news here. Some comments on news posted in this thread are okay, but let's not let this thread go off into a long discussion. If the news already appears in another thread (as per the previous bullet) then post your comments in that other thread, otherwise if you want to say something significant or if it is likely to generate replies then begin a new thread.

gator Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 In the English Championship today: Bristol City is hosting Burnley and Edgar takes a spot on the bench for the visitors, Peters is on the bench for Ipswich who host S****horpe, Hull trail Norwich 1-0 at home, Jackson on the bench for Norwich and Preston lead Coventry 1-0 on a Hume goal in the 24th minute! Three Canadians all on the bench for their teams and unlikely to get into the match have all been called for Belarus! One Canadian starts and actually scores for his side yet he's left out! Something a little strange here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hirschfeld starting for Valerenga Oslo at Viking in the season opener (I think) in Norway. 1-0 for Valerenga at the half. 90 minutes and a clean sheet for Lars as Valerenga win 2-0.

pulsar Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hoillet scores in the 93rd min. to give Blackburn a tie with Blackpool. Good job. He seems to be having a surge in the last 1/3 of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is the first week of football in the Tippeligaen. A couple of good saves from Lars and a very good 2-0 win away for Enga in Stavanger.

themodelcitizen Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Not a Canadian abroad in the national team sense (there's still hope!), but Jonathan de Guzman scored a free kick in the Balearics today: http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/golazo!-jonathan-guzman-zaragoza-8808658/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Greg Sutton starting for New York (beat Coundoul out of camp for the GK spot) vs. Seattle 0-0 at the half with a nice stop off Fredy Montero. Where does this put Sutton on the depth chart? 3rd I'd say and probably deserving of a Gold Cup call if he keeps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Belgium Lierse SK 0-0 Club Brugge Tomasz Radzinski plays 90' With the draw, Lierse will stay in the Juplier Pro League by one point. They will now play the "Europa League Playoff". (Belgian top divisions are weird) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Pozniak was missing from Haugesund's season opening 2-0 loss away to Tromso. He was serving the first of a three match suspension for his red card in last season's finale. Pacheco started and played 85 min of Santa Clara's scoreless draw at home to Varzim. With the point, SC are in a four-way tie for sixth place. Kennedy Owosu-Ansah is apparently still trialing for AC Oulu, as he started in a 5-1 friendly win vs TP-47 on Saturday.

Kimpero Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Frank Jonke's club AC Oulu didn't get a license to play in the Veikkausliiga. However, they managed to secure a spot in the first division, the Ykkönen. In other words, Frank will either continue his career at AC Oulu or move elsewhere.

It sounds like the town and the supporters really did all they could do to save it. Can you shed any light on KOA and the whole gambling affair? We are just getting bits and pieces, mostly poorly translated I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimpero Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yes, there's been lots of talk about the gambling affair, which actually doesn't concern more than one team (RoPS in the Veikkausliiga) and a former player of AC Oulu, who's now representing HJK Helsinki. A Singaporean "business man" had approached Zambian players of RoPS and Zambian Dominic Yobe of AC Oulu. Apparently, these players have accepted his offers of somewhat large sums to interfere with match results of their respective teams. According to a Zambian source, Yobe had accepted an offer of 30 000 €, but it's still unclear in what way they have sabotaged the play. RoPS have a history of many African players in their squad, and they also run some sort of a soccer academy in Zambia. In other words, this is a pretty big blow for them. They're also a team that have previously been the subject of similar affairs, and have also fired a number of players because of it. The African players of RoPS (obviously only the suspects, but there's four of them) and one Georgian player remain arrested. Dominic Yobe has been released today, but it's still unclear whether he'll continue his career at HJK or not. He's currently not allowed to train with the Finnish champions due to internal club policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any explanation of Kennedy Owosu-Ansah's situation? - it sounds like he had strange couple of weeks himself. Glad that he wasn't implicated.

nolando Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Marello stayed on the bench for Veendam's 3-1 win over Sparta Roterdam: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match/_/id/300351?cc=5901 Klukowski just finished 90 min of a scoreless draw for Ankaragucu away to 3rd place Bursaspor.

nolando Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Germany Augsburg 1 - 0 Oberhausen, De Jong played 90 minutes. Marcel got great reviews, apparently, for his attacking form and his hard tackling. He must have declined the Canada call-up, I figure. http://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/sport/fc-augsburg/Erstligareife-Leistung-des-FC-Augsburg-id14352451.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any explanation of Kennedy Owosu-Ansah's situation? - it sounds like he had strange couple of weeks himself. Glad that he wasn't implicated. No problem! I'm not very familiar with Kennedy, but AC Oulu wrote on their website that he was tripped in the penalty box after a strong run against TP-47, which resulted in a penalty for his club. I think he might be eligible to play for Oulu in their 5th round Finnish Cup match when they meet Soccer Club Riverball on March 27. Concerning Jonke, I wouldn't be too surprised to see him join IFK Mariehamn in the Premier Division, since they're looking for a striker as one of their key players got injured. He'd also have two Canadian countrymen and American Josh Wicks over there, so I think he'd fit perfectly. You'd think he's got a clause in his contract that allows him to move now that AC Oulu isn't in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
