TRANSFERS: Winter 2018 Transfer Window Dates - Open/Close

  So its that time of the year again, and if you are like me, I have trouble tracking opens/closes of transfer windows. So here's my list - I figured I would share it, so you can reference it when ever you need to. I intentionally left out many countries, some we have no active Americans playing, some are not in the Euro/Scandinavian region - so please don't troll me for leaving them out.  We are blessed to have players all over the World,...

WEEKLY WRAP: 12.25 Thru 12.31.2017 - Final Wrap of the Year

OK then, its NYE and the last match of the year involving an American has been played (in India) The week was pretty much all about England as everyone else took time off. So I will keep it short and sweet. Shout Out to Tim Ream who not only scored, a very rare event for the defender, but the goal was a game winner. Duane Holmes has a goal and an assist in his Boxing Day outing and Niall Mason scored a PK, his 2nd consecutive match with a PK goal....

WEEKLY WRAP: 12.18 thru 12.24.2017: Winter Break is Upon Us!

To start, Happy Holiday's to you all......

Still there are some shout outs due to our guys. Mukwelle Akale scored the winner for Villarreal C in Spain, Niall Mason scored the winner (PK) for Doncaster in England, and Andrija Novakovich scored a brace for Telstar in their 3 - 2 win...

WEEKLY WRAP: 12.11 Through 12.17.2017 - Chandler/Siebatcheu/Pulisic Shine

This week was really about 3 players, Timothy Chandler, Jordan Siebatcheu and Christian Pulisic - all three had outstanding matches and contributed to their teams success. First, the wrap is a little shorter this week, weather is the culprit. So many games postponed, it will be interesting to see how, especially in Germany, these games get made up. The German Leagues just shut for the Winter Break, so no matches scheduled till mid/late January....

WEEKLY WRAP: 12.4 through 12.9.2017: Weather Takes its Toll - But Still Goals

This weeks schedule was decimated by bad weather in Europe, primarily in the lower leagues, but noticeable even in the bigger matches. So your reading time will be less (and its good practice for me prior to the Winter break). The shout-outs are not all positive this week, but with the reduced match's the negatives stick out a little more. We lost our Europa League teams, M.Tel Aviv, Hertha and Vitesse, but all played well in their final competition...
