In MLS, Jakovic, DeRo en Bernier played the full 90 minutes for DC and Impact respectively, Porter started and got subbed off at the 72th minute. Tissot was on the Montreal bench during this match.

For TFC, Henry, Morgan and Osorio all played the full 90. There were no Canadians on the bench. (Strangely enough, Danny Califf was, that has to be a typo right?)

Teibert played 90 minutes for the Whitcaps, Kofi Opare was on the bench for the Galaxy (for the fourth time now, he may be nearing a MLS-debut).

In NASL, Hamilton played all the minutes in the 3-0 victory over the Cosmos. Arango also played the entire game of his club and he scored the last-minute equalizer against Minesota United. Harmse also played the whole game, SA Scorpions lost at home.

In England, Hoilett played 56 minutes in Championship-side Queens Park Rangers. Edgar did not play for Burnley, he was benched the whole game.

One league lower in League One, Haber plyed 15 minutes when he got subbed in for his rival Dani Lopez. Hume didn't leave the subs bench in the game of Preston North End against the Dons.

Neither Aird nor Gasparotto played any minutes in Scotland, Rangers won again though and are at the top of the Scottish League One.

In Norway, it's the 64th minute as I type this, and Sandes Ulf just scored to put them up 1-0, ahead of Hønefoss.

Ricketts didn't crack the bench in this one. Whether it's an injury or not, I can't say, but as far as I can tell, they've finally simply just taken him out of the lineup completely. Sandes Ulf has been on the rise and are now out of the relegation zone by 5 points. When Ricketts was getting consistent playing time they were at the very bottom of the table. I think his stay at top tier of the Eliteserien is in danger.

Finland

PS Kemi just finished off YPA to go clear 9 points at the top of the table, via going 1-0 off of a free kick near the end of the game (or so it seems from loose twitter reports). Tyler Pasher was the man of the match. Will confirm these details later.

David Monsalve and Oulu were beaten 1-0 by KooTeePee

Sweden

Nyköping 0-0 Selånger

Ethan Gage and Nykoping have their run of 6 straight wins come to an end. They still are on a run of 10 games without a loss, however.

Jackson is starting for Braunchweig against Borussia Dortmund!

Live on GolTV at 11:30EST

EDIT: Jackson plays the full 90 for the second consecutive time in the Bundesliga. Braunchweig put up a brave fight as they fall to Dortmund 2-1.

Even though Braunschweig will probably struggle to stay up this season, I am surprised to see Jackson playing a big role with the club early on. Hopefully he starts scoring, as he won't keep his job for long if he doesn't. According to kicker, he played at the top of a 4-3-2-1 formation.

I watched the game. He was alone in the front and asked too much for the pass when he should have helped his teammates instead. I don't remember him shooting at least one time.

In the Greek Super League, Julian de Guzman played the full 90 in a 3-0 los against Stevens' Paok. Why does he always play for such lousy teams? I guess he would be a nice player in an in-form squad, but he's not a kind of player that improves a team that's not in shape.

Lucas Cavallini is on the bench in the Montevidean derby (one of many) Nacional vs Racing. Hope he could make some sub minutes, it looks like a great atmosphere.

I also watched it. I was not impressed with Jackson's game, unfortunately. Against Hummels, one of the top CB's in the world, he looked completely dumbfounded at times.

Atiba Hutchinson is in the starting XI for Besiktas vs Trabzonspor. Kicking off now.

Correct, although it should be noted that soccerway.com for some reason lists him as not in the squad. Watching the game right now, can assure you jonovision is correct, and he's playing well. Almost scored a moment ago with a ball coming across goal, and Hutch charging down the left, but mostly he's played back in RCDM role in what seems to be a 4-2-3-1 formation.

USL Pro finally also has it's line-ups on soccerway.com. Friday Ben Fisk was subbed in for fellow countryman Bryce Alderson. Both played one half each on Batteries midfield. Nice to see both young Canadians fit for the playoffs.

Tyler Rosenlund and Pierre-Rudolph Mayard played twice this weekend (bush league). They beat Phoenix and lost to LA, Rosenlund played 180 minutes (!) and scored in the second game against LA. Incredible physical performance really. Mayard was subbed off twice which is normal if you want to avoid injuries (46th and 68th minutes respectively).

Dutch Lions' Taylor Lord played again the full 90 minutes in a victory over City Islanders that secured them a spot in the playoffs. Wouldn't that Lord be a nice addition to the Ottawa Fury for example?

Btw I just saw that Adur, Saiko, Edward and Roberts are all starting for FC Edmonton. The bench is loaded with Canadians too, unfortunately no Dosanj though.

Nice. That's the role I envision Hutch in with Canada. Partnered by Johnson of course!

Hutchinson played the full 90, I believe, as the right-sided of a central 2 in a 4-2-3-1, though he did get forward on a few occasions, including the build-up to the first Besiktas goal.

When I see those flashes of quality in midfield it really brings home how unfortunate it was, for him and for the MNT, that he spent 3 years of his prime playing completely out of position at right back.

Michael Cox got on in the 55th minute (he replaced the invisible Adur) for FCE and got a big scoring opportunity taken away from him.

Nana wasn't on the bench for a winning Earthquakes side, is he injured or something?

Btw I didn't know that about Finlay, thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, Nana has been battling concussion problems for quite a while ... really sucks for him as he was just starting to fight for a starter's spot.

There is only one derby in Uruguay that matters, and that is Peñarol-Nacional. For that matter, I believe about 60-70% of the teams in Uruguay are based in Montevideo and surrounding areas.

It isn't really surprising at all. The main reason he was signed, was that he is a similar type of player to Kumbela. So far he has been used pretty much as a stand-in for Kumbela. Since Kumbela is now coming back from injury, Jackson's role will change for sure once Kumbela is fully fit again.

This is not entirely surprising. He started slowly in the EPL, and I have a feeling, at every team he's joined. I think that is why he has been a somewhat polarizing figure.

Striking can be the hardest thing to transfer between leagues. If he hasn't scored by his tenth game, however, then I might start to get worried.
