Germany is (with the exception of Bundesliga) up and running again, and Belgium gets going. With Germany's Regionalliga and Oberliga started, there are quite a few new names to check out (and teams we have not followed before) Friendlies keep going, although only 2 goals and 1 assist came from friendly matches this week.
A couple of notably events; Jonathan Klinsmann looks to be set for Hertha II (U23) in Regionalliga. Mix Diskerud had an assist and a goal in Goteborg's win Jon-Paul Pittman is finally getting over his injury and finding form with a goal and assist over 2 friendlies. For goal-keepers, Tim Murray got another clean sheet in Finland's Ykkonen, and Ethan Horvath had a clean sheet in Club Brugge season opener in Belgium
We also had our share of assists, none more important than Aaron Schoenfeld's assist for M.Tel Aviv in the Europa League, providing them with a goal lead that they will take to the next leg in Greece.
All in all not a bad week for our guy's - but not really that good either...check it all out below
