WEEKLY WRAP: 3.26 through 4.2.2018: EXTRA Includes Easter Monday

OK I added Easter Monday, as it was as busy in Europe as Sunday, and results this time of year are going to mean promotion or relegation. Our guys did pretty good when you consider the week was still busy with the international break and players traveling. We managed 18 Goals, 4 Assists and 2 Clean Sheets. Shout-Outs in order for Nick Taitague who scored twice and had an assist in Germany. Joe Efford had his 2nd two goal match in less than a month in Greece, and our main shout goes out to Fehim Dedic who scored 3 times and had an assist in two matches. Emmanuel Sabbi came back from injury in Denmark and scored his first goal for his team. Before we leave goals, we had 2 matches this week with 2 yanks playing for opposite sides and scoring, Etchu Tabe and Gerald Ben in Finland, Nermin Crnkic and Marc Heider(also had an assist) in Germany

Marcel Costly had an assist to add to his goal and Lyndon Gooch has been trying to put some energy into his team this week, and also getting an assist. The season has yet to start in Sweden's lower leagues, but don't tell Jeff Gal that, as he gets a commanding clean sheet in a friendly.

Some other news of note. US U18 Owen Otasowie got his first start for Wolves U23, Zyen Jones played the 2nd half of a friendly for Schalke U19 and Josh Sargent played for Bremen U19 in a tournament and was their hero as he scored 5 goals, and helped his team to 3rd place.

<EDITOR NOTE> There will not be a "Wrap" next weekend - I have surgery scheduled this week and will be thinking about my health instead of soccer. Hopefully I will be well enough to continue the following week. Thanks for your understanding.

OK! to the lists.

WEEKLY WRAP: 3.19 through 3.25.2018: We're Back - All Minor Leagues - But We Managed 9 Goals



<Editor> First up, my apologies for missing the last few weeks....personal problems have really knocked me down. I will continue to follow and report on our guys, but their maybe a few more weeks in the coming couple of months that I miss.


OK lets see what we have this week, oh right! the International Break, so no senior matches to speak of. USYNTeamers and USMNT have reduced our number of players we follow. Many of the players on the list are unknown to most, unless your hard-core, but its worth noting that our guy's in Portugal, Spain and Italy are playing fairly regularly for their clubs. Of course Germany's lower leagues remain the dominant place for our players.Denmark re-started (their lower leagues) its season this week, and Sweden starts next week, so something to look forward to

Shout Out's go to Rory McCullough who scored his first goal for Athlone in Ireland (he joined them at the beginning of March and has made the field every match since) While Anton Peterlin scored the equalizer for B93 in Denmark, and Nermin Crnkic scored the winner for troubled Erfurt in 3Liga.


OK..to the lists. As usual the short list first.......

GOALS
Adam Benn - Germany
Ian Claus - Germany
Dion Acoff - Iceland

Shout Outs this week go to Timothy Weah, who made his first team debut with PSG.Andrija Novakovich, who did it again with a multi-goal game. Aaron Jóhannsson, who refuses to be written off , has found his form and is burning it up, and gets an equalizing goal.
