I added a couple of items from Thursday this week...mainly because of the play-offs in Sweden, where GK Matt Pyzdrowski is involved in a relegation battle. Otherwise its the same format as you expect. It's been a strange weekend where we have had plenty of activity from US players, but with much reduced success. We had three players score a brace for their team, but no assists (as far as I can see) and only 1 goalkeeper managed a shut-out. Some new names, as young Americans are getting their chance, Piakai Henkel, a 21 year old dual (USA/Singapore) from Florida playing with Bahlinger in Germany, USA U20 Joshua Perez made the bench for Fiorentina in Serie A, and Mael Corboz made the 18 for Duisburg.
On the Pro/Rel scene, GK Matt Pyzdrowski and Helsingborg are relegated to Superettan in Sweden. GK Daniel Schmidt and Yamaga failed to get the automatic promotion spot in Japan (on GD) but still have a chance as one of 4 teams in the J2 leagues play-off.
OK to the list, as usual the (very) short list comes first. If you want more detail then the wrap has as much as we have identified this weekend.

Haji Wright (2) - Germany
