Dario Zanatta in the starting 11 for Raith Rovers vs Dunfermline Athletic in the first Fife derby of the season. Match postponed after 13 mins due to electrical issues in the stands. Announcers for the game are clearly upset and can't believe fans (over 4000) have to leave because of these "bizarre circumstances". 😳

90', took and scored a penalty in a 2-3 loss.  Who knew?

He's been the main pk taker for several teams in Portugal. Also has a history of taking free kicks.

Should also note that he was the one who was fouled for the pk. He's a handful for corners. Him alongside Kennedy can be really good for Canada on set pieces.

Belal Halbouni (Werder Bremen ii) once  again absolutely solid in today’s match. Victorious 3-0 win. Stopped 2 counter attacks himself. I see him jumping up to his first team respectively very soon.

Is Belal right or left footed?

At this pace Kennedy won't have to transfer to B1, he will be promoted 

True, but I think it'll be tighter in the end, these 2nd tiers always are. Kiel screwed up late last season when they'd been ahead all year.

So what do you think? If a B1 team were to put in an offer now, what would they do? He sees the chance to go up a tier, Jahn sees some money? Would they take their team apart for the money and risk the promotion option?

Fraser starting for Columbus v Seattle. 

Game is on Fox at 530pm

Watched the highlights and unfortunately Fraser was caught ball watching on the tying goal.  No idea how pro players (especially in a defensive role) can make the mistake of focusing on on the guy with the ball who’s already being handled by 2 defenders and not picking up the guy waiting for the pass 5 yards behind them.  Hopefully will learn from this one and not make the same mistake if brought on to protect a lead in September.

Took a look on FotMob to see if he started and played for Columbus and he did.  Also noticed he was given a score of 5.8.  A score that low usually means a player was solely responsible for at least one goal against.
