WEEKEND WRAP: Saturday 1/23/2016

The first Weekend Wrap has quite a bit of activity around Europe. Hopefully I have captured all the action by US Players (if you find I have omitted anyone please let me know)  For now I am doing the report by game time. Mainz II was the earliest game today/Nantes the last. I am trying to include players, played status, goals (of course) assists & cards. I am still formulating the best format, so if you have any point of view, let me know.
