There is equal excitement in Sweden's Allsvenskan and Superettan where we could have a US Player (Brian Span) in the Champions League with Mariehamn, but hold on teams, are closing in fast, with just 3 games left. In Superettan 3 teams are chasing promotion and 2 of those have US Players (Sirius/Patrick Hopkins & AFC United/Josh Wicks & Tristan Bowen) its going to be a wild finish.

Keaton Parks was an unused sub for Varzim in Portugal's Segunda Liga, as they were held to a goalless draw at home by Freamunde

GK Craig Hill (90) and KuPS did not have a good day in Finland's Veikkausliiga, as they fell at home to Inter Turk 0 - 2 . Two draws and three losses in their last five games has put an end to any thoughts of European play next season as their spiral continues

Mariehamn and Brian Span (52) took care of business as they hosted PK-35 with the top spot in Veikkausliiga on the line. 3 second half goals hammered home their win 4 - 2. Its not a certainty that Mariehamn will be playing in Europe next season, with 3 games left they have to face 2 of Finland's top 4 teams, and with only 3 points separating the top 4 clubs its a winner takes all scenario

Will John (25) and RoPS are in a similar circumstance as KuPS....heading in the wrong direction - down. Today they visited VPS (who now are ahead of them) and lost 1 - 0

Etchu Tabe (7) came off the bench late, as Haka lose at GrIFK 1 - 0 - Haka are 5 points above the drop zone, GrIFK 4 points above

Mike Banner (90 + yellow) and KPV went into #1 JJK, who were on a 3 straight win streak, and came out with 3 points as they won 0 - 1. KPV will end up mid-table, JJK are now only 1 point in the lead atop the league

Fabian Johnson (82) and M'Gladbach were totally demolished by 3 goals in 6 minutes by Schalke as they went on to win 4 - 0 - its just 6 games (this season) but M'Gladbach has fallen off track with this loss. Schalke who had 0 points from there first five games came up big with their first win of the season

Brendon Hines-Ike (31 + Assist) and Orebro put in a good effort to fight back against Djurgarden in Sweden's Allsvenskan succumbing 3 - 2. Nice to see Brendon in the action and making a difference. Orebro have not shown much fighting spirit of late 2 losses, 3 draws in last 5 games, hopefully, even in this loss they will gain some confidence

Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer chose to start both GK Ethan Horvath (90) and Josh Gatt (64 + yellow) as Molde traveled to Tromso in Norway's Tippeligaen. Good choice as Molde win 0 - 2 and gain 3 valuable points that put them just 1 point out of a chance of European football next season. There are only 4 games left in the Tippeligaen season left. Ethan can claim the Shut Out

Not that it matters much, Alex De John  went 90 in Starts 2 - 0 loss to Viking in Norway's Tippeligaen - Start are already so far behind they are relegated and will play in OBOS-Ligaen next season. NOTE: There are 4 games left in Tippeligaen. Rosenberg will play Champions League next season, there are 6 teams within 6 points of the 2nd/3rd spot (Europa League)

GK Scott Angevine (90) and YPA played to a 1 - 1 draw with PPT. YPA who started the season in such a funk have put on a 2nd half of the season worth a shout out. With just 1 game left this season YPA will end in mid-table.

Toni Suddoth went 90 as Stuttgart U19 were held to a 2 - 2 draw with 1860 U19 in Junior Bundesliga (Sudwest)

Shawn Parker was an unused sub as Nurnberg visited Bielefeld and came away with all the points in a 1 - 3 win in Germany 2Liga

Babajide Ogunbiyi went 90 in Hobro's goalless draw with Koge in Denmark's Division 1

Caleb Stanko was an unused sub as Vaduz visited Grasshoppers in Switzerland's Super League and lost 2 - 1. After a good start to the season things have started to go South for Vaduz

Brooks Lennon (13) came off the bench to help Liverpool U23 beat Sunderland U23 3 - 0. Today's result moves Liverpool U23 into a tie at 2nd place in England's Premier League 2

In Netherlands Eredivisie Matt Miazga (26) came off the bench in Vitesse' 2 - 1 loss at Twente. Vitesse are tied in 7th spot (last Europa League place) with 4 other teams. Good to see Matt finally getting some playing time

Rubio Rubin was an unused sub (again) in Utrecht's 2 - 0 win over Rotterdam in Eredivisie

In Finland Ykkonen, GK Tim Murray gets the Shut Out as Ekenas wins at home, 2 - 0 against GrIFK. Ekenas with 3 wins in their last 5 games should be safe as only a few games remain and they are 5 points from the drop zone

Mike Banner (90) and KPV hosted Jaro with Kyle Curinga (90) as Jaro surprised KPV winning 0 - 3 and moving to within 4 points for promotion in Ykkonen. There are only 5 points separating 1st from 4th

Eddy Prugh (90), back from a red card suspension, led Bodens to a 1 - 1 draw at league leaders Sandvikens in Sweden's Division 2 (Norrland)

Romain Gall (90) continues this weekends goal fest for Americans, Scoring Twice for Nykopings in a losing effort to Brage in Sweden's Division 1 (Norra) Romain gave his club the lead twice before they succumbed to a 75th minute goal. That's 2 straight losses.

Louis Bennett continues to wait for his chance to play as he was an unused sub as Anorthosis fell 4 - 1 at AEK Larnaca in Cyprus First Division

Paul Torres (90) and Assyriska visited Halmstad in Sweden's Superettan and came away with a point in a 2 - 2 draw, that's 5 consecutive draws for Assyriska, who need points to get out of the relegation zone

Dallas Aminzadeh (9) came off the bench late as Oldenburg visited St Pauli II in Germany Regionalliga (Nord) losing 2 - 1

Aris Briggs Zustra (16) came off the bench for Osnabruck II in Oberliga (Niedersachsen) as his team thumped Bersenbrück 4 - 0

In Finland's Ykkonen, Isaac Kannah (65) came from 1 - 3 down to draw TPS Turku 3 - 3 with 2 goals in the final 10 minutes. KTP definitely playing the spoiler here as #2 TPS needed all 3 points to help catch #1 JJK. KTP themselves needed points (a win would have be excellent) to drag themselves out of the relegation zone, with just a few games left they are 1 point from escaping the drop zone

Etchu Tabe was an unused sub in Haka's 1 - 1 draw with Oulu (who are chasing TPS) in Ykkonen. Haka are likely to end the season mid-table

In Finland's Veikkausliiga, Christian Eissele was an unused sub as Kemi fell 2 - 0 at Ilves (who take over the #3 spot)

In the big game of the day (for US player followers) in Finland, RoPS (Will John did not dress today) faced Mariehamn and Brian Span (90 + yellow card) in a battle that would help Mariehamn's charge to the top (and a Champions League spot). RoPS has dropped out of contention over tha past few weeks (only 1 win in their last 5) and with just a few games left would need the 2 teams above to just collapse. Mariehamn now sits in 2nd (Europa League) 2 points out of first place and 1 point ahead of the charging Ilves with 4 games left.

Helsingborg have only won 1 game in the last 5 (1 win 4 losses)and have slipped into the relegation zone (2 points from safety) Today they faced off with #1 Malmo with a predictable result 2 - 0. GK Matt Pyzdrowski (90) kept the score reasonable. Helsingborg must now plan ahead for a beatable team Hammarby next week

For the first half Horsens looked like they would make a game of it as they visited Midtjylland in Denmark's Superliga. Connor O'Brien (71) started and it was 2 - 2 at the half....then the 2nd half happened and Horsens allowed 3 unanswered goals, ending 5 - 2 losers...there is always the next game!!

In a crazy final 10 minutes that saw 3 goals, Martin Ontiveros (90) Scored his first goal for his new club Jeunesse Esch in Luxembourg's National Division (top tier) Martin has started 4 times this young season and his first goal resulted in a 2 - 2 draw today at #2 Fola - good result

Ring the Bells!!!!! Start has won its first game this season - after 24 attempts. Alex De John (90) and Start have beaten #4 Haugesund in Norway's Tippeligaen (they would have shared 2nd with 2 other teams if they had won) 1 - 0, so they won't be going the season without a win. Of course they are still going down, but at least for one day they can smile.

In Bosnia Premier Liga, Nermin Crnkic Scored Sarajevo's 2nd goal which (at the time) put them in the lead. A 55 minute goal by home team Siroki Brijeg tied things up at 2 - 2

In Serbia Super Liga, Ismar Tandir was an unused sub as Javor visited Borac and got a point in a 1 - 1 draw

WEEKEND WRAP: Friday/Saturday/Sunday Features Goals (11) and Assists (5)

Sorry a little late with the wrap this week. Here we go, not a bad weekend, some exciting stuff in Germany's Bundesliga, as Pulisic, Johnson and Johannsson all feature in their games. Game winning goals for Shane O'Neill, Omar Castro, Harrison Hanley and Jakeem Johnson for their teams. OK I gotta do the Bundesliga bit, Christian Pulisic is amazing every one although his position as a starter is still not guaranteed, a goal and 2 assists should create a circumstance where leaving him on the bench becomes more difficult. Fabian Johnson and Aaron Johannsson faced off in a cracking game  at M;Gladbach, both players had assists, but the game also saw Aaron receive a straight red (for descent) reports on Monday am has Aaron saying that the referee mis-heard his comment - well I guess we will see how that plays out. Also in Germany, in the U19's McKinzie Gaines had himself a game for Wolfsburg U19's scoring twice and getting an assist. Unusual for American goalkeepers, no shut out's this weekend. Finally we are still waiting for Matt Miazga to get on the field at Vitesse and two players surprisingly didn't get on the pitch this weekend, DeAndre Yedlin at Newcastle and Lynden Gooch at Sunderland, BTW both of the teams lost. OK to the list, as is normal now, the short version is directly below, the long version below that;

Here's the short version;

GOALS

Shawn Parker (Germany)
Shane O'Neill (Netherlands)
Royal Fennell (Germany)
McKinzie Gaines x2 (Germany)
Christian Pulisic (Germany)
Omar Castro (Germany)
Kevin Dzierzawski (Scotland)
Aaron Schoenfeld (Israel)
Harrison Hanley (Iceland)
Jakeem Johnson (Finland)

ASSISTS

McKinzie Gaines (Germany)
Christian Pulisic x2 (Germany)
Fabian Johnson (Germany)
Aron Jóhannsson (Germany)

And here's the long version;

FRIDAY

In Finland Veikkausliga, Kemi and Christian Eissele (6) lost 3 - 1 in their away game at HIFK (HIFK are fighting possible relegation)

GK Craig Hill was on the bench (he is KuPS backup keeper) as his team fought for a 1 - 1 draw at Lahti (KuPS are sitting in 5th place , 1 point out of 3rd and a Europa League spot)

Will John entered the game at minute 58, and helped Rovaniemi (RoPS) win 1 - 0 against relegation bound PK-35. RoPS win was very important moving them into the leagues 3rd spot, in what looks like a battle that will go down to the wire for the final Europa League spot. The gap between 3rd and 6th is 1 point and the loss of any points could be fatal for participation in next seasons European contest.

A Goal-Fest at Bochum, Russel Canouse's (in 18/DNP) team exchanged goals freely with Nurnberg and Shawn Parker (27), who Scored their 4th goal, and picked up a yellow, in a 5 - 4 loss at Bochum in 2Liga

Marc Heider, who played for the opposition for many years, went 90 as Osnabruck visited Kiel and came away with a 0 - 1 win, which must satisfy Marc, and make Osnabruck happy as they move into a tie for the top spot in 3Liga.

Brandon Hines-Ike came off the bench late in a fierce 3 - 3 draw between his team Orebro and Sundsvall in Sweden's Allsvenskan. The draw did not help Orebro keep pace with the rest of the league leaders as they are now tied 4th, but 5 points adrift of a Euro spot

Sirius still dominate Sweden's Superettan, today Patrick Hopkins went 90 as his team beat Varnamo 2 - 0 extending their lead at the top of the league to 7 points

In France Ligue 2, Jordan Siebatcheu (64) and Reims held Sochaux to a 1 - 1 draw to get an away point and a shared first place in the league. Difficult to know if this is 2 points lost or 1 gained?

GK Quentin Westberg (90) was on the losing side today as Tours fell 1 - 3 to Nimes in Ligue 2 as they drop into the relegation zone

Rubio Rubin was an unused sub as Utrecht sunk deeper and continued there poor form losing 1 - 5 at home to Groningen (Desevio Payne is still not fit to play)

In Erste Divisie Shane O'Neill came off the bench at minute 75 and Scored the winner (Breda's 3rd) in NAC Breda's 2 - 4 win over Waalwijk and move into a 3-way tie for 2nd place and promotion.

In Germany's Regionalliga (Nordost) RB Leipzig's Ken Gipson (90) and USMNT Terence Boyd (90) were lucky to get a 1 - 1 draw at Babelsberg after scoring 2 minutes into extra time.

Julian Ceesay (90) and FC Amberg visited Oscar Ortiz (90) and SC Feucht in a goal-fest that had SC Feucht win 4 - 3 in Oberliga (Bayern Nord)

Charlie Rugg (28) would probably preferred to stay on the bench for Pirmisans as they were dismantled by Hoffenheim II 6 - 0 in Regionalliga (Sudwest)

In Ireland's Premier League Don Cowan (90 +1) visited Finn Harps and completed their mission 0 - 1 on an early (17) goal. This is Longford's first win since March, that's 24 games ago. Draw's have kept them alive but the team above them is on 19 points - 6 above Longford - looks like the drop for Longford and Don Cowan

SATURDAY

Andrew Wooten (66) and Sandhausen visited Braunschweig in Germany's 2Liga and lost 2 - 1 to the league leaders - who are yet to lose this season 5 for 5

Jerome Kiesewetter only played the final 8 minutes as Dusseldorf lost their first game of the season at Heidenheim in 2LIga

Mitchel Lopez went 90, as high flying BK-46 lost 2 - 0 at FC Espoo in Finland's Kakkonen (Group B)

Lawrence Smith went 90 and Chris Corcoran 13 as GBK hosted TP-47 and won without much trouble 3 - 0 in Finland Kakkonen (Group C) This is GBK's 3rd straight win

Devonte Parker (3), came on late for Mainz II in Germany's 3Liga as they fell 2 - 1 at Bremen II

Royal Fennell (90) Scored as Hallescher had to come back in the 2nd half after going down 0 - 1 to Shawn Barry (90) and FSV Frankfurt in 3Liga where the final result was a 1 - 1 draw - FSV has yet to win this season.

Jann George went 77, picked up a yellow as Regensberg had their handsful with Fortuna Koln, that was drawn on a 90+4 goal by Regensburg as they hold on at home 2 - 2

GK David Yelldell was an unused sub for Sonnenhof as they drew 2 - 2 with Aalen in 3Liga

Brian Span (90) as Mariehamn visited SJK in Finland's Veikkausliiga in a game that had more importance to Mariehamn as they battle for top spot in the league and either a Champions League or Europa League. Today they failed to gain any points losing this one 1 - 0 - that's 2 losses in the last 3 games.

McKinzie Gaines (68) Scored twice and had an Assist as Wolfburg's U19 squad visited JFV Nordwest in Junior Bundesliga (Nordwest) That's 5 goals in 3 games for McKinzie

Alassane Kane went 90 for Bayern Hof as they fall at home 1 - 2 to Greuther Furth II in Regionalliga (Bayern)

Julian Green was an unused sub for Bayern and Alfredo Morales went 63 minutes for Ingolstadt in a 3 - 1 home victory for Bayern

In what is the biggest US Player story of the day, Christian Pulisic (90) Scored and had 2 Assists as Dortmund throttled Darmstadt 6 - 0. Christian receives MOTM from most sites and from what I saw of the game he deserved it - is it time to move from hype to belief??

Timothy Chandler (90 + yellow) had himself a day for Frankfurt, giving up an 87th minute PK (that Chicharito missed) to Leverkusen that would have tied the game - but with the miss Frankfurt held on to win 2 - 1

RB Leipzig were all over Bobby Wood (83 + yellow) and Hamburg as they handed them a painful home defeat 0 - 4. For those wondering Terence Boyd and Ken Gipson played on Friday for the RBL reserves

In England's Championship, Danny Williams (90 + yellow) and Reading visited Barnsley and came away with all 3 points in a 1 - 2 win

DeAndre Yedlin watched Newcastle fall 0 - 2 at home to Wolves in a game that saw Newcastle give up an OG and suffer a Red Card - Benitez needs Yedlin (IMHO)

Eric Lichaj (90) and Nottingham fell 1 - 2 at home to Norwich,  as they, Norwich battles to return to the EPL

Gboly Ariyibi went 90 in Chesterfield's convincing 3 - 0 win over Northampton in England League 1

Duane Holmes played the first half as Scunthorpe visited Shrewsbury and took all 3 points in a 0 - 1 win. Scunthorpe are now on top of the standings with a game in-hand

GK Paul Rachubka took his normal spot on the bench, as back-up, and watched as his team Bury beat host Swindon 1 - 2 in England League 1

Not a good day for GK Brendan Moore as Torquay visited Boreham Wood and lost 2 - 0 in England's National League

Jon-Paul Pittman (90) started for Harrogate as they visited Bridlington in the 2nd (Qualifying) round of the FA Cup. the game ended 1 - 1 with a replay in the week - but it shows if you don't take your opposition seriously you can be in for a shock

Will Daniels went 90 for Grindavik as they visited Akureyri in Iceland Inkasso-deildin and fell 2 - 1 after leading for most of the match. Akureyri are running away with the league at this point, unbeaten in their last 7

JC Mack went 90 for Selfoss as they visited GK Will Dieterich and Haukar in a game that end in a 1 - 1 draw

Johnatan Lama (21) and Huginn continue their disappointing season with a 0 - 4 loss to Kopavogur. Huginn are just 3 points above the drop zone and really need some points and some luck

Omar Castro Scored Braunschweig II's first (and winning) goal as they visited Lupo Martini Wolfsburg and came away 0 - 2 winners

Matt Nigro (90) and Vestri just didn't have it today as they are well beaten at Grotta 4 - 0 in Iceland Division 2

Jannik Eckenrode (90) and Danial Kuczynski (84) were on the losing side as Aegir fell 4 - 2 at Volsungur in Iceland Division 2

In Scotland's Premier League Bjorn Johnsen (72) got his first start and Perry Kitchen went 90 as Hearts fall 1 - 0 at St Johnstone as both teams now share 2nd place in the league.

Kevin Dzierzawski gave Peterhead a 0 - 2 lead after he Scored at Stenhousemuir. Unfortunately Peterhead could not hold the lead and ended having to be satisfied with a 2 - 2 draw, in Scotland's Championship

Andrew Stadler joined the action in the 60th minute, but could not help his team Ostersunds as they are beaten 2 - 0 at Kalmar after giving up 2 goals in 2 minutes, in Sweden;s Allsvenskan

GK Josh Wicks (90) and AFC hit a bump in the road at GAIS in the Superettan as they drew 1 - 1 - AFC are still in the hunt for promotion, but are a point off automatic promotion spot and may need to play a play-off to get there

GK Jeff Gal and Stephen Golz found themselves on the losing side as Lidkopings lost their home game 1 - 2 to Rynninge IK in Sweden's Division 2 (Norra Gotaland)

A game leading Score from Aaron Schoenfeld did not hold up as H Tel Aviv gave up 3 goals in a 3 - 3 draw with Shmona, in Israel's Ligat ha'Al

Joel Sonora went 81 for Stuttgart II as they win 1 - 2 at Trier in Regionalliga (Sudwest)

Eric Friedlander was an unused sub in Ansbach's 4 - 0 win over Frohnlach in Oberliga (Bayern Nord)

GK Bakary Sanyang let 3 in and his team Pfeddersheim lost 1 - 3 to Schott Mainz in Oberliga (Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar)

Jordan Tyler (90) and Hottur were totally embarrassed by Afturelding 7 - 2 in Iceland Division 2 as Hottur's season is skidding out of control

Fabian Johnson (85) had an Assist for M' Gladbach as they hosted Aron Jóhannsson (36 + Assist + RED card) As M' Gladbach dominates in first half, with 4 goals - the game ended 4-1. Evidently the Iceman melted down and was sent off for dissent

GK Ethan Horvath and Molde fall 1 - 0 at Viking in Norway's Tippeligaen. Josh Gatt was in the 18, but did not play. Molde are slowly falling out of contention for the final Europa League spot.

Hunter Gorskie (in 18/DNP) as Legnica failed to hold on to a 2 goal lead at home to Katowice in a game that ended 2 - 2 in Poland Division 1

GK Danny Rogers had a solid outing as Falkirk, who have now won 3 straight, defeated Dundee United 3 - 1 in Scotland's Championship. Falkirk now tied for 3rd place

The new normal for Brad Guzan, in 18/DNP. as Middlesborough were dismantled by Everton 3 - 1 in the English Premier League

Johnathan Spector (90) as Birmingham beats Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 1 in the English Championship putting them into the top 6 (tied 3rd with 2 other teams) Good result for Birmingham

Harrison Hanley (90+5) Scored Njardvik's only goal as they draw 1 - 1 with visitors KF in Iceland Division 2. Njardvik had trailed 0 - 1 for most of the game, until Harrison's goal saved the point

Robbie Kristo played in the Osnabruck Oberliga squad today going 70 minutes in their 1 - 1 draw at Cloppenburg

Louis Bennett III is still trying to get his debut in, as he was in 18 for the 3rd week in a row, but DNP for Anorthosis in Cyprus First Division. Today they drew 2 - 2 with Zakakiou. Anorthosis have yet to lose this (early) season and sit in 6th spot.

Matt Miazga (in 18/DNP) sits out another game at Vitesse as they win 2 - 0 over GA Eagles in the Eredivisie

SUNDAY

GK Daniel Schmidt (90) and Yamaga are still on pace for promotion despite a 'blip' today in a 1 - 1 draw at Kusatsu. Sitting in 2nd place of Japan's J-League 2 and with teams closing in on them, every point is critical

In Finland, Jakeem Johnson Scored the winning goal for PEPO as the hosted MPS in Kakkonen (Group A) and won 2 - 1. At my reckoning that's 14 Goals in 11 Games for Jakeem

In (Group C) Kakkonen, Jossimer Sanchez went 90 as Narpes Kraft beat GK Scott Angevine and YPA 3 - 1 in a mid-table battle. YPA has now lost 3 straight

In Finland's Ykkonen, Mike Banner was an unused sub as KPV were held to a goalless draw by Oulu. Only 6 points separates #5 KPV from the #1 spot held by JJK

In Germany Junior Bundesliga (Sud) Toni Suddoth went 90 as Stuttgart U19 visited cross-town Stuttgart Kickers in a game that ended 1 - 1, on a 90th minute Kickers goal

In Junior Bundesliga (West) Haji Wright was subbed out at 90 minutes and Weston Mckennie went 90 and picked up a yellow as Schalke U19 beat Dortmund U19 2 - 1

In Denmark Division 1, Babajide Ogunbiy (90 + Yellow) and Hobro were well beaten, as they visited Fremad Amager, 4 - 1. Hobro has slipped a little, down to 4th place

In Sweden's Allsvenskan, GK Matt Pyzdrowski had a rare appearance as Helsingborg fell 1 - 2 at home to #1 Norrkoping. As it stands, Helsingborg will have to play a Rel/Pro play-off to stay in Sweden's top flight

The least said the better about Stoke and Geoff Cameron, now firmly at the bottom of the EPL and based on performances so far this season, likely to stay there. Today's happy opponent was Crystal Palace who whipped Stoke 4 - 1

George Fochive (90 + yellow) and Viborg visited #1 Brondby in Denmark SuperLiga and came away with all 3 points in a 1 - 2 win, on an 81st minute OG

Dallas Aminzadeh came off the bench at 72minutes to help Oldenburg in their 3 - 0 win over Egestorf-Langreder in Germany's Regionalliga (Nord) Oldenburg played most of the 2nd half with 10 men

Paul Torres (90 + yellow) as Assyriska take on IK Frej in Sweden Superettan in a game that ended goalless

Jochen Graf was an unused sub as Oskarhamns falls 3 - 1 to Oddevold in Sweden Division 1

Really surprised that Lynden Gooch was an unused sub as Sunderland visited Tottenham in the EPL and lost 1 - 0

Daniel Stephens went 90 as GrIFK were beaten at home 1 - 2 by TPS Turku in Finland's Ykkonen

Gabriel Wirtz was an unused sub (1st game back after injury) as Jazz Pori played to a 1 - 1 draw with KTP and Isaac Kannah (90) - Both teams are in the relegation zone

Conor O'Brien (90) and Horsens lost ground today as they fell 0 - 2 to #1 FC Copenhagen in Denmark Superliga

GK Alex Horwath (90) and #2 Brann visited Bodo/Glimt in Norway's Tippeligaen and came away with a 1 - 3 win that keeps pace at the top of a very tight league battle

Also in Tippeligaen Stabaek with Cole Grossman (90) visited Odd and won 0 - 1 Stabaek are now 2 points away from escaping the relegation zone

When the league top team meets the bottom team the out-come is pretty much decided before a kick of the ball, so no surprise that Start and Alex De John (90) were defeated at #1 Rosenborg 2 - 0 in Norway's Tippeligaen (Rosenborg are 18 points clear at the top, Start are bottom and 50 points behind them)

WEEKEND WRAP: Friday,Saturday,Sunday - Goals (11), USYNTeamers, Shut-Outs (6) and More

This weekend was just so eventful, so many Americans playing in so many countries, 11 goals (2 x 2 goal games), 6 goalkeepers got shut outs, an assist, and 2 debuts - Plus a plethora of young Americans starting for their club's junior squads and having success..its been a pleasure to track this weekend's action. I have supplied a short version for non-readers, as well as a comprehensive list of all the action (Note: there were at least 10 games where Americans may have been involved that I could not find detail) but otherwise they are all here....
Great to see Aaron Jóhannsson, back on the field for Bremen, its been a long time coming, DeAndre Yedlin made a short intro at Newcastle, Josh Gatt was on the bench for the 2nd week, not long now, and Louis Bennett II made the bench in Cyprus and Stephen Golz made the pitch, after he signed this week in Sweden, both making their debuts. There are to many young Americans to mention, but the future of US Soccer (just looking abroad) looks really promising.

The full version of the three days is below as usual.

Jossimer Sanchez went 90 as Narpes Kraft beat GBK and Lawrence Smith (90) and Chris Corcoran (36) who is likely injured, in Kakkonen (Group C). The loss is a major setback for GBK's promotion hopes

In Germany's 2Liga, Russell Canouse (19) and Bochum battled to a 1 - 1 draw against visitors Hannover. In the early season Hannover are #1, Bochum #4, neither side has lost a game

Sandhausen and Andrew Wooten (20) lost their game against Stuttgart and Joel Sonora (in 18/DNP) despite Andrew's Scoring, which looked like the start of a comeback, that fell short 1 - 2

GK Bakary Sanyang (90) had little help from his defensive team mates as Pfeddersheim fell 2 - 4 to TuS Mechtersheim in Oberliga (Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar)

In the Netherlands Eredivisie, Rubio Rubin (in 18/DNP) and Utrecht are still looking for their first win of the season as they drew 1 - 1 with Vitesse.

In the Bundesliga, Aaron Jóhannsson (64) made his first appearance in oh so long, his injury/surgery seems healed and (IMHO) a few months at club level should see him back to his old self (Klinsi leave him be). Today was not a good day for his club Bremen! but then visiting Bayern is not a good day for most clubs. Julian Green was in the 18, but did not make it on to the pitch as Bayern pummeled Bremen 6 - 0.

Eric Lichaj, went 90 and has been credited with an Assist on Nottingham's 3rd goal, as they beat Leeds at home 3 - 1

Its hard to say if Gboly Ariyibi is effected by all the transfer talk. Today he started, went 90 in a 1 - 3 home defeat by Millwall in England's League One

GK Brendan Moore (90) and Torquay jumped out of the relegation zone with a 2 - 1 home win against Dover, in England's National League, there first win since opening day

Harrogate and Jon-Paul Pittman (90) have an unbeaten record in England's National League (North) and are tied for 1st place after 6 weeks. Today Jon-Paul Scored their opening goal in a 3 - 1 defeat of Nuneaton. Jon-Paul has now started 3 games for Harrogate and has scored 3 goals

In Iceland's Inkasso-deildin, Johnatan Lama (90) and Huginn helped their cause by winning handily at Leiknir F. 2 - 4 coming back from a 2 - 1 deficit against the home team

In Scotland's Premier League, Hearts started Perry Kitchen (90) and brought on Bjorn Maars Johnsen in 58th minute as they won at Partick, their 2nd straight win, as things look better at Hearts after the season opening loss. Hearts are now in 3rd place following Rangers and Celtic - not bad

Falkirk and GK Danny Rogers got a much needed win in Scotland's Championship. The 1 - 0 win over Dumbarton give Danny his 1st Shut-out this season

Last season Peterhead and Kevin Dzierzawski were fighting for promotion, this season has started out really badly for them (sitting in last place) Today they visited Stranraer, losing 1 - 0.

In Sweden Division 2 (Norrland) Eddy Prugh (90) and Bodens moved into 3rd place after beating Harnosands 1 - 0. Bodens are 7 points out of 2nd place (promotion) which looks a little out of touch right now

Oscar Ortiz (90) and SC Feucht visited DJK Ammerthal and lost 1 - 0 in Oberliga (Bayern Nord)

I've written this before - there is no excuse when up by 2 goals to lose. GK Alex Horwath and Brann scored twice in 2 minutes to give them a 0 - 2 lead at Haugesund in Norway's Tippeligaen - a game that they lost 3 - 2,  the loss drops them to 4th place and out of Europa League spot (That is all)

In Bundesliga's late game, Fabian Johnson came off the bench at minute 61 as M'Gladbach get a scare from Leverkusen but prevail 2 - 1 to open the season

DeAndre Yedlin was introduced to the Newcastle fan's in the 88th minute as they win 2 - 0 at home against visitors Brighton, who played the last 35 minutes a man down. Newcastle are on a run - 3 straight wins - and move into 4th (tied with 5 teams)

One to watch, Louis Bennett II made the senior squad for his new team Anorthosis in Cyprus' 1st Division (Top Tier) he didn't get on the field, but obviously the coaches think highly of him....The game ended goalless with Nea Salamis - it was the first game of the season for both teams
