WEEKLY WRAP: 6-5 through 6-11: Scandinavia Rocks!!

The number of matches is just diminishing so quickly. Sweden and Finland dominate this week, so a lot of names will be unfamiliar. We identified a couple of new faces in Sweden that we are confirming nationality for and we may have lost one player who we have been following (checking nationality) I will take a moment to thank the Forum Members at Big Soccer/Yanks Abroad for supplying player specific info, that adds to this site - Thanks Guys!

This week we also saw Bjorn Johnsen play an official game with Norway, so he is cap tied and off our list going forward.

Good to see Christian Eissele back as a regular goal scorer and Lawrence Smith - still continues to score. Dylan Autran debut's with a goal - that's cool

Keepers had an overall good week Jeff Gal had his team back on track after last weeks hic-cup. Zac Lubin continues to perform (6GA in 9 games) and Paul Blanchette has turned his team into a contender since settling in.

Mayowa Alli (90 + yellow) for Thisted as they beat hosts Hvidovre 2 - 4 in Denmark Division 2 (Promotion Group) - Thisted are already promoted to Division 1

Anton Peterlin (90 + yellow) as B93 visited Marienlyst also in Denmark Division 2 (Promotion Group) losing this one 2 - 1, dropping them to 6th and realistically out of contention for promotion this year

Fabian Hurzeler (played all 120 minutes) and Pipinsried will enter the final of the Bayern Regionalliga Pro/Rel match up with Seligenporten, after Pipinsried beat Furth II 2 - 3 (3 - 4 agg) in a game that needed to go into extra time to be decided.

Will Daniels (90) in Grindavik's 0 - 1 win over KR Reykjavik in Iceland's Pepsideild. Grindavik are tied for 1st place (third on GD)

TUESDAY

Michael Stewart (90) Will Weber (in 18 DNP) and Örebro Syrianska IF blasted Boo FK 6 - 0 in Sweden's Division 2 (Sodra Svealand)

WEDNESDAY

Last week Christian Eissele finally scored his season opener for Jaro, and personally I w as getting worried that his mojo was gone....so today I feel much better. Christian Eissele (90) Scored 2 Goals for Jaro today, which gave them a 2 - 0 lead going into the half, but they squandered the lead and finally lost 2 - 3 at home to OPS in Finland's Ykkonen

Joshua Perez (80) as short-handed Fiorentina U19 came back from a goal down in ET, then won the Primavera Semi-Final over Juventus U19 with a 1 - 2 scoreline (on PK's) an amazing job for Fiorentina U19 - OK they've beaten Juve, now on to Inter U19 in the final

Harrison Hanley played the 2nd half for Haukar as they traveled to Keflavik, losing 3 - 0 in Iceland's Inkasso-deildin

THURSDAY

In Finland's Kakkonen (Group A) Dylan Autran (in only his 2nd game) entered the match at 58' with the game tied at 1 - 1 - at minute 69 he Scored the winning Goal for MP as they win their home match against MiPK. The win moves MP up to 2nd place.

GK Will Dieterich (90) and Grotta fall 1 -2 at home to IR Reykjavik in Iceland's Inkasso-deildin and as a result fall into the red-zone (bottom 2 clubs)

FRIDAY

2 goals in 2 minutes settled things as Jason Bushue (90 + yellow) and Mitchel Lopez (90) Scored both goals for BK-46 in their 2 - 0 win over Viikingit in Finland's Kakkonen (Group B) BK-46 up to 4th place after 2 straight wins (3 wins in 4 outings)

Timothy Wilson (90) in OTP's goalless draw at JJK in Finland's Kakkonen (Group C) OTP has had a rough start to the season, and sits bottom, so a goalless draw at #2 JJK is a promising result.

JC Mack (90) and Selfoss traveled to Leiknir in Iceland's Inkasso-deildin and were defeated 2 - 0 - which really has halted their run for the top (they would have been in 2nd place with a win) instead they remain in 4th.

SATURDAY

Tyler Fischer went 62 minutes in his debut for Avondale FC as they win 2 - 0 over Oakleigh in Australia's NPL (Victoria) Avondale brought in 2 strikers last week, in their bid for a playoff spot, both debuted today Tyler starting and Dutchman Jip Bartels scoring...looks like good move by Avondale, who move up to 3rd place

Kene Eze started for North Geelong as they traveled to FC Bulleen in Australia's NPL (Victoria) losing 3 - 1. Writing is starting to get clear on the wall that North Geelong wil get relegated (maybe)

In Sweden, Bodens traveled to Taftea IK and won 1 - 2 in Division 2 (Norrland). We possibly have 2 players at Bodens. Leon Taylor who went 90 and Scored the opening goal, and Michael Mercado (90 + yellow). I am investigating whether or not they are Americans

GK Jeff Gal (90) and BK Forward quickly got back to winning ways, after last week's slip, beating Sundbybergs 1 - 3 in Sweden's Division 2 (Norra Svealand) BK Forward are in 2nd place only 1 point out of 1st

Devin Morgan was an unused sub, as Södertälje FK visited IFK Haninge in Sweden Division 2 (Sodra Svealand) and earning a 1 - 1 draw. Enough for Södertälje to keep themselves 2 points above the red zone.

In Denmark Division 2 (Promotional Group) we have reached the final week of matches.

B93 and Anton Peterlin (47) met Kjellerup and Oh Dear, Anton got a straight red as B93 went on to win 3 - 1, finishing 5th for the year

Mayowa Alli entered the match at 22 minutes, replacing an injured team-mate, and played the rest of the game, picking up a yellow card, as Thisted drew 1 - 1 with Greve. Thisted are promoted to Division 1 next season. Congratulations to Mayowa and Thisted

Jamil Fearrington (90) as Bronshoj defeated Aarhus Fremad 2- 0 ending the season with 2 wins and in 7th place in the group.

***Felix De Bona (90) had himself a day at Ekenas, Scoring 3 Goals in a 4 - 1 victory over Daniel Stevens (45) and GrIFK in Finland's Ykkonen. The win gets Ekenas out of the red zone

Christian Eissele (90) as Jaro hosts Oulu in Finland's Ykkonen and holds on for a 1 - 1 draw. (Jaro and Ekenas are tied on points - and just above the drop zone)

GK Paul Blanchette (90) and PEPO get the 2 - 1 win over Sudet in Finland's Kakkonen (Group A) PEPO move up to 3rd place, and have not lost in their last 5 matches.

Jossimer Sanchez (90) Lawrence Smith (90) and scored another Goal as GBK thumped JBK 4 - 0 in Finland Kakkonen (Group C) This was Lawrence's 3rd Goal in 7 games

In Sweden Division 1 (Sodra) Ryan Masch (79) as Skovde were held to a 1 - 1 draw at home to Oddevold. Hey Skovde, this should not happen at home, playing a team that has not won a point in their last 5!!

Chad Barson (90) Kyle Knotek (64) as Linköping City battle to a 3 - 2 win over Värmdö IF in Sweden's Division 2 (Sodra Svealand). Linköping City remains unbeaten, and retains the top spot in the league

Michael Stewart (90) Will Weber entered off the bench at 39 (replacing the teams injured captain) as Örebro Syrianska IF held on for a 2 - 2 draw at home to IF Sylvia in Sweden's Division 2 (Sodra Svealand) Örebro Syrianska are on a roll right now, they have not lost in their last 5 and are now up to 3rd place

In what turned out to be a complete disaster, Nordvärmland FF visited Karlstad BK in Sweden's Division 2 (Norra Gotaland) Kyle Gurrieri (90 + yellow) and GK Tony Halterman, who came on at the start of the 2nd half (Tactical) tried to make the score more respectable in the 2nd half, but they were just plain beaten up 5 - 1 by the league leaders.

In Iceland Division 2 Tanner Sica (90) as Tindastoll traveled to Hottur and won 1 - 3 - their first win of the season and it drags them out of the bottom 2

SUNDAY

Ian Garrett came off the bench at the 70th minute as VIFK won their home game 2 - 1 against KajHa in Finland's Kakkonen (Group C) VIFK has moved into 2nd place on the table

GK Zac Lubin (90) and Ljungskile SK held on for a 1 - 1 draw at home with FC Rosengård 1917 in Sweden's Division 1 (Sodra) Ljungskile sitting in 3rd, still only have 1 defeat this season, and Zac has only allowed 6 goals.

It's hard to say loss, when a team battles its way to a final.....Fiorentina U19 and Joshua Perez (90) lost in the Primavera Final 1 - 2 to Inter U19 in Italy. Joshua and Fiorentina U19 should be proud of their accomplishment this season - Congratulations


*** There is some question as to Felix De Bona's nationality....he has been viewed by some as a Brazil/USA dual and others as Brazil. We will continue to investigate this, once we are sure we will adjust to match.
