WEEKEND WRAP: 3-17: Friday, Saturday & Sunday: Features 6 Goals & 2 Shut-Outs

Another weekend that failed to live up to the hope. Injuries took their toll, weather hit lower leagues again......just not fun to track our guys right now. Good stuff tho' young Danny Barbir showed up on Stoke's U23 squad, and Ismar Tandir scored his 2nd this month along with the continued success of Emerson Hyndman at Rangers. In Iceland, the few players we have left there, are doing well in the League Cup, a preseason competition Will Daniels and JC Mack both scoring, and in Finland Keeper Tim Murray has found his comfort zone, after a rough start. 
Next week is an International Break, but there will be plenty of games in the lower leagues to track
Here's the list;

Short first........

GOALS
Will Daniels - Iceland
Marc Heider - Germany
