Ugbo starts for Wednesday and plays 73 in a loss to league leaders Burnley.
Charles Brym - first start in a long time and has an assist as Sparta Rotterdam came from 2 down at home to Almere. 2-2 draw.

Tom McGill's Mk Dons with a 3-1 win over Morecambe as they climb to mid table.

Having the Nantes/Nice game on split screen. I could not be more impressed with Bombito. Dude is gliding around the field like a young Desailly.

The first time I ever saw this kid was during that Gold cup where he played midfield and I was screaming at the TV to get him off the field!

He may have the highest stock rise of any Canadian...dare I say even Davies.

I agree. Rocketing upward..

He allows Nice to play the swashbuckling style they play.
 
Pantemis has been solid all year and impressive for Portland and is now ahead of Crepeau. It makes everything potentially very awkward...

However if Portland are out next month, they should both be called up against Suriname. Creapu looked shaky against Panama.

Can't believe it's only his second goal this year but Nashville has been a hot mess.

This is just nuts. At the Copa it looked like his old Belgian team wouldn't buy him back if offered. Since the Ligue 1 season started he's been smoking hot for club and country. These are amazing wins.. to waltz into the metropolitano and score twice off the bench to win.. Legendary..

Liam Miller left todays game on 13 minutes. See what that is all about.

Vancouver playing shortly. Sartini going to a Christmas tree basically takes Ahmed out of the picture. Adekugbe starts as a true left back. Only Canadian in the starters. Raposo, Johnson and Boehmer also on the bench.

Pantemis starts for Portland. Creps and the great Kamala on the bench.

Two other tidbits:

Scott Kennedy is toiling for KAS Eupen in the second Belgian division.

Theo Corbeanu is alive and well and playing for promotion candidate Granada. Would like to see just how he is doing.
 
CPL news, York beats Pacific in the playoffs.

They are no heading to Ottawa to see who goes on to the Semi's. Should be a good rivalry playoff game.

The other game this weekend is Forge hosting Cavalry. Winner hosts the finals.

York just released their pricing for next year. It's absolutely amazing, really got to hand it to them. $11 supporters section and $10 kid pricing is unreal. Hopefully more teams follow suit with this kind of pricing scheme.

Niko Sigur came off the bench at half and went into an attacking role for H Split. He scored the winner against Lokomtiv Zagreb. We haven't yet seen much of him for Canada.. see if he's in the team next window.

Knight Lebel with another win in the Crewe backline. They are creeping to the top of the table.

Mr Tom McGill with another win for MK Dons as they are in 8th now in League 2.

Millar is injured.

Jebbison is on the missing list for Watford.

I need him to take steps this year so he can start to challenge for a spot on Brighton.

Been waiting so long now.

He's getting the run of games he needs. Having watched a couple of games they let him go all Ederson at times with some rockets down field with his left foot.

He either takes Steele's job or maybe they cash in and he moves up a league.

My knowledge of what it takes to cap tie a player is limited. Everything I've learned about Sigur seems to point to a young lad with a high IQ that can play anywhere.

Yeah - we need him to play minutes in the Nations league to tie him. You are right, we should be looking to do that for a versatile player like him.
