DiChiara continues to get a decent amount of pre-season minutes with Torpedo Moscow in their Turkish training camp. He played the 2nd half of a 3-0 victory over Bulgarian team Black Sea Varna. He had another full 2nd half in a 3-2 victory over RPL team Krasnodar. He played the first half of a 2-1 victory over Atlantas of Lithuania. And finally today he came in at the 60th minute of a 1-0 loss to Kazakh team Aktobe.

Doesn't Atlantas have a couple Canadians on it? Do you know if any of them played?

Also Tosaint Ricketts played 68 minutes in Sandnes' preseason win over Sogndal and had a couple good chances.

You are right that there are a couple of Canadians listed with the team both on Wiki and Transfermarkt. I am not familiar with these players but they are 23 year old keeper, Maximir Luburic and 19 year old striker, Nathan Smith. Torpedo's site does not list the opposition players for any of their friendlies. I checked on Atlantas site and neither player is on the team list nor are they listed in an article that states the players the team took to Turkey. There is no information on the match with Torpedo either. It seems probable that both players have left the team.

Not that much of an upset - Eintracht has had to replace 3 to 5 starters (not always the same) for every single game since fall, and it has already shown during the last few games.

Randy was back in the squad partially because of Ademi's injury (and Kruppke and Korte not being back yet). His substitution didn't work at all again, and once he came in things really fell apart (which by no means was his fault alone).

Kicker wrote on monday that "especially Randy Edwini-Bonsu has shown, that he doesn't have the quality for higher level 2. Bundesliga play".

Mixed ratings from Kicker for our Canadians in Germany. Friend and McKenna both scored and both received the very good mark of 2 which means they also played very well in addition to scoring. JDG received a 4 which is a bit below average while Occean received a bad mark of 5 for his 45 minute second half appearance. DeJong and REB did not play long enough to receive a mark from Kicker which seems fortunate in REBs case. Straith stayed on the bench this week.

Perspective. There are only 12 teams, they've gone 10th to 4th in 6 weeks. There's only a 13 point spread between 2nd and 11th.

They went from 11th to 4th. It may be a short point difference but the real achievement is passing 7 other teams in the standings which is a lot harder to do than make up a point gap. It not only requires you to win but the other teams to drop points. It's a great achievement. Thye also have a game in hand over most teams.

And Andre has hardly been a part of it all. What an inane disagreement, guys. And I still think think it was a terrible career move.
