DJT Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Guidelines for this thread In this thread post match updates on all Canadians abroad for May 11-17, 2012. 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.

Alex_K Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 REB scored three goals in a 17:1 win over FSV Fuhsetal. No youth players took part this time, so no Nika. One friendly left before the players can go on vacation (those post-season friendlies are mainly for marketing). Barsalona played 90 minutes in a 2:1 win over Osnabrück II. Currently Eintracht II are on a promotion spot to the Regionalliga. And a new signing for next season - Bourgault's Preußen Münster teammate Björn Kluft. He is an offensive player, but likely not one comepting for the same position as REB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just see the conversation at Fürth: Occean: Can I go home to Canada now? Fürth Management: No, we have to pound on a few Kresiliga teams before you go. Occean: Oh. Okay.

Fürth Management: No, we have to pound on a few Kresiliga teams before you go. Occean: Oh. Okay. There's basically a one-day-county fair around those games. The players give tons of autographs, pose for pictures, there are tombolas, food stands... and tickets cost almost as much as a league game. Not bringing your star players would really be seen as poor form. Anyway, final post season friendly for Eintracht - REB scored 4 against SV Meinersen (result was 15:0).

Not bringing your star players would really be seen as poor form. Anyway, final post season friendly for Eintracht - REB scored 4 against SV Meinersen (result was 15:0). That's a good way to put it. Kind of like if a Canadian NHL team went to a small town and played their beer league team. It's a cool idea for the fans and I would love to have said that I played against a Bundesliga team. I'm keen to see if REB will be involved with WCQ in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Borjan got the clean sheet as Vaslui earned their 7th straight win after defeating Sprotul Studentesc 1-0. After 32 games, they're tied for first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oranje Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^^ Cluj (lead co-owners) are playing their 32nd today against bottom-dwellers Mioveni. Lets hope for a draw? alas, Cluj won 5-0.. Vaslui is back in 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaslui is back in 2nd Cluj still has a game against Steaua Bucharest (I think ...) so there is still hope if Vaslui can close out their next two games, they can pull it off!

ditty Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hertha Berlin lost their playoff with Fortuna Dusseldorf 4-3 on aggregate and will play in the 2. Bundesliga next season. Interesting to see if Rob Friend will come back in their fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Borjan gets the start as Vaslui lead Otelul Galati 2-1 in the 32nd. No matter what happens with the title race, you have to figure Vaslui will make Borjan's move permanent over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about this club - but I just hope they are on the up and up if you know what I mean. Let's not forget it was only a year ago Ricketts club finished second and look at that gong show. I just hope they finish top 2 so Milan gets some Champions League exposure and maybe a bigger club they play against likes what they see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Vaslui wins 2-1 and is tied at top with Cluj though Cluj has a game in hand and better goal differential. If Steaua does not win against Dinamo tomorrow Vaslui is guaranteed 2nd place and a CL spot. Watched the 2nd half and it was a pretty dull game without much action for Borjan despite Otelul pressing for an equalizer. Still a decent level of play similar to what Lars is seeing in Norway but definitely a step down from the Turkish league though more balanced play, ie. not all offense like in Turkey and constant action for the keeper. Borjan made a couple of saves in extra time though they were more poor finishes from players in dangerous spots than exceptional saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 OO named player of the year by the fans at Furth.

Never underestimate the gong show that is Romanian soccer. Just ask Lars Hirschfeld or Tosaint Ricketts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask Lars Hirschfeld or Tosaint Ricketts Well considering he was gong showed at Sivasspor I think he'll take UCL action over sitting in the stands.
