Canadians abroad: August 10-16, 2012

Sweden Allsvenska (tier 1) - AIK 3 - Örebro 0. Neither Kenny nor Tomer saw action. Örebro SK is last in the league. Their current keeper Sandqvist stumbling on a couple of the goals today, Chensinski might get another shot soon. AIK has a FIFA break to prepare for a Aug 23 date with CSKA Moscow in Europa League.

Sweden Superetta (tier 2) - Assyriska FF 1- Hammarby IF 1. Ledgerwood played 90 in central mid. Good distribution but Hammarby had a hard time in the final 1/3. They got lucky on a dream shot, the final of the game, which salvaged the tie. Nik now heads off to Florida to join the national team.

Hammarby will not promote this year. Remind me why he is playing at such a low level again? At least people can replace the complaints about Romanian second tier with Swedish second tier when it comes to suspect MNT call-ups for the next year or so.

They likely won't but Hammarby is a pretty big club, Ledgerwood is a player of limited skill. The level is like A-League esque.

Shows how much better our players are getting though...remember the days when a guy heading to Div 2 Norway or Sweden was a big deal?

England (Capital One Cup - formerly known as League Cup)

-Stevenage 3 - AFC Wimbledon 1

Haber played 89 min and was instrumental in the third goal scored just before halftime:

"Stevenage captain Mark Roberts restored the two-goal advantage on the stroke of half-time by ensuring Marcus Haber's header crossed the line."

- Port Vale 1 Burnley 3

Edgar played his now customary 90 at CB dispelling any fears he might be fighting for a starting spot. Bunley lost 4 players to international duty which might have contributed to Edgar's non-participation in the Canada camp and friendly.


England (Conference - 5)

Gavin McCallum came into Woking's season opener as a 66 min sub. They beat Dartford 1-0.

Apparently, the first Stevenage goal, rules OG, shoud have been Haber's.
