Akendele played 84m for Orlando vs RSL, Miller stayed on the bench, no sign of Morgan for RSL.  And where the heck did Johnson go to??

If rumours are to be believed, Atletico Ottawa.

Lithuania

Richie Ennin came on in the 59th to debut for his new club FK Zalgiris as they beat Ricketts' former team FK Suduva 1-0 in the Lithuanian Super Cup.  

Although he wasn't named to the U23 list, Richie will be looking to play his first UCL/Europa league matches this summer.

That would be a nice first captain to the team...

Tonight (Tuesday) Saarbrücken will host Fortuna Düsseldorf in the quarter finals of the DFB Pokal. Another upset is possible, especially with Düsseldorf currently battling against relegation. Question remains though if Froese would even play.

Henry is playing AFC Champions league game this morning against Johor. Corbin-Ong is playing for Johor.

Is there a reason he wouldn't?  I see he played 90 minutes on Friday.

Well since he hadn't been playing a lot just up to that game, I suspect some starters were rested on Friday. Could be wrong and honestly hope I am.

Nice! It doesn't say anything about him starting in that game though (The didn't in their last Cup-game).

Again, I hope I'm wrong but he's been their 12th or 13th player all season.

Starts on the bench.

In Asian Champions league, Henry goes 90 and picks up a yellow in the 66th minute, as Suwon fall 2-0 on the road to Malaysian side Darul Ta'zim.

Edit: score was actually 2-1.

And enters after 18 minutes and assists on the 1-0. Saarbrücken now 45 minutes away from an historic achievement.

Milovan Kapor played 90 minutes for Buxoro in their season opener against Kokand 1912 last Friday, which ended in a 3-0 loss.

Davies starting for Bayern in the cup. Full strength side.

Game is currently tied in the 102 minute. Fantastic experience for Froese no matter what the result will be.

Froese scores his penalty and after 10 kicks each Saarbrucken advance

Edited March 3, 2020 by Big_M

[El Diego 837]

Froese scores the 8th (I think) penalty, Saarbrucken win after 10 (again, I think). Absolutely wild. The Saarbrucken keeper saved a PK in regular time, then four more in the shoot out (twice as his team was facing elimination).

[Obinna 8,542]

Congrats to Froese as they now move on to the semifinals. Big accomplishment for a 4th division team.

Bonus point for knocking out two usmnt players (Morales and Steffan).

[Zem 1,462]

Could you imagine if Saarbrucken get drawn against Bayern? Who would have thought that two former Whitecaps FC 2 teammates playing in wildly different divisions in Germany might meet in the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal

[Aird25 1,244]

It’s 2 am in Germany and Kianz is tweeting his thanks. Hope he had himself a good night! What a result

Arfield not in Rangers squad which lost at home to Hamilton, I hope the injury isn't too serious!

No Paton either for Ross County.  Wotherspoon started for St. Johnstone.

Gerrard before that game.

"We're waiting for news on a scan on Scott Arfield, but it's not as bad as originally feared, so both of those lads should be back with us.

"I'd say Ryan's got a small chance for the weekend. Scott's a big doubt for the weekend.

Not the worst news, so far at least.
