Great win for Ange in Kobe. They got a red card around 60min while leading 1:0 and managed to get a 2nd to seal it. 

Nagoya were close to actually winning but conceded late. Mistake from Langerak for the first goal.

It's disappointing how he's become more error prone. In hindsight he should have gotten a loan in his 2nd season at Dortmund. He just never put his foot down. I like that Ryan got out of Valencia as best he could. Genk was great for match practice.

Hrustic starting vs Hannover.

Maty starting vs Fulham in a pre season friendly. 

Great ball sees Hrustic through on goal but Zieler saves. Massive chance. 

Well he has an assist now. Not bad.

Top assist by Hrustic. Nice flat lob through the defence. 

Hrustic is technically sound. A real intelligent head. Hopefully he'll play more this season. 

No Dougall for Barnsley. Probably still building fitness on that broken leg. 

Leckie starting on the bench in a friendly with Bochum. HT1-1 right now.

Italiano's goal from the other day (3:08) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOOUfX_zXbM

Luzern played in the Swiss league last night in their first game and juric wasn’t even on the bench. Any news on him?

Maty started against Fulham and came off at half time with Brighton leading 1-0.

Brighton’s 3rd choice GK Steele played the second half and conceded 2 goals, with Brighton falling to a 2-1 defeat. 

Last reports were a move to Sion. 

So some other good news for Aussies in action last night:
Zulte Waregem Vs Willem II Friendly - Timotheu started for Zulte and the first Belgian report I read suggested he played well.
  "Timotheou did not act unkind as a central defender. He has a strong duel and has a good long ball."
Timotheu came off on 57 mins. Dylan Ryan came off the bench on 68 mins. This is the last friendly for Zulte before their season starts on 28 July

For Brighton vs Fulham - Francois continued to get some minutes, coming on in 82nd minute.

Hibs played a cup game against Alloa Athletic marking Martin Boyle's return to game time and the reports I read suggest he was impressive

Sorry for the formatting, cant seem to fix the underlining.

Taggart starting but they've got a red card early. 

Taggart scores again! 1:1 now.

What's this I hear about Antonis heading over there??

Taggart scored 12 goals now...leading top scorers. We will him in world cup qualified

Mabil bench. 

PSV are quite thin at the back so they were always going to get someone. Unfortunately they're looking at signing Baumgartl from Stuttgart. He's young and experienced at bundesliga level. While good for a howler or two, the Dutch League will be a notch down where he'll probably defend quite well. This isn't good news for Sainsbury but now is the time for him to really deliver and prove his worth. 

Degenek announced on Twitter that he’s left Al-Hilal. No word on his new club. Can imagine he’s heading back to Red Star

Thought I saw it mentioned a week or two ago but is Degenek back at Red star? Just posted on his insta that he’s left Al Hilal

EDIT: missed the above post, sorry!

Wow - from all reports from my Saudi friends he was killing it for Al Hilal and was adored there. 

They didn’t expect this exit at all. 

Maybe Red Star are poor atm, prolly want him back asap. Also, probably fears not being included in future NT games.

Maybe he got sick of eating camel and rice also. Could be any of these points and maybe all contributed. 

I am super happy he left. I think everyone should be. 

They signed Jang Hyun-soo two weeks ago, so I imagine the plan was for him to take over the AFC spot.

He was permanently banned from the South Korea NT ahead of the Asian Cup for forging documents related to his national service, so unlike Degenek he has no reason not to just chase that Saudi cash now.

Yep, i'm glad he's gone from the Middle East. I was a little dejected cause he was having a ripper season last year with Red Star and moving into his prime years as a footballer, but sounds like both he and Red Star got offers they couldn't refuse. Hopefully he can relaunch his Euro career now - he's one of my favourite current Socceroos.

Is the saudi league really that bad especially compared to Serbia ? 

I imagine that it's not so much the league that's the problem, but the barbaric medieval fanatical theocratic dictatorship that the league is in.
