Quote:Kruse (last season scored two goals in 15 league games) had torn in January in a duel in a pub the cruciate ligament in his left knee. Therefore, the winger (Australian Footballer of the Year 2013) missed the World Cup in Brazil. He tore his cruciate ligament in a pub fight now? :-k Straya reprezent! #googletranslate

Brillante has been officially revealed and you can watch the shirt presentation + interview http://video.repubblica.it/edizione/firenze/fiorentina-presentato-brillante-prade-e-un-leader/174825/173455Nothing really interesting. A couple of quotes about Del Piero and the first few weeks but pretty standard in general. A few admin personnel at Fiorentina have also talked abut the signing discussing Brillante, how he is doing well and how this signing shows Fiorentina's extensive scouting network. The sporting director on Brillante: Quote:"Fiorentina are looking for young players around the world and is the prototype Brilliant right for us. Joshua has all the characteristics to become part of our Company. has great technical skills as well as being a wonderful guy" . http://www.ilsitodifirenze.it/content/910-brillante-dar%C3%B2-il-massimo-la-fiorentinaAlso the Sporting director on their scouting network and specifically Australia. Quote:Brilliant is the symbol of the quest for a society like ours, which is seeking young people around the world. Australia offers interesting solutions. http://www.violanews.com/calciomercato/prade-brillante-e-il-frutto-del-nostro-scouting-20140814/

Moofa that seems to tie to Italy's immigration policy, that seeks to tap into the young Italian Diaspora around the globe, in places like North America, Australia, South America etc... Italy has a stagnant, aging, population and they're active in looking to tap into the diaspora. They have right of return of some such immigration laws for the diaspora, like some other Euro countries do - e.g. if your Grand-parent was Italian etc... It's hardly a co-incidence that most of our star footballers in Italy, were of Italian diaspora, which includes 'Brillante'. Ikonomidis is an interesting one though, his talent rises above that I guess, being of Geek extraction? But yeah, Bresciano, Grella, Valeri etc...
I guess it helps, not only passport wise, culturally etc... but like Croatia etc... they seem to actively seek out talent from the diaspora. All good for our young boys I guess.
It's a whirlwind to see the ascension of Brillante - Kudos to Agent Grella, it's great to see our former stars exploiting their contacts and experience in their new roles, post-playing career. I'm sure many young Aussie players would love Vinnie Grella as their agent!
We all track Brillante now, via the Aussies Abroad, dodgy streams, his NT appearances et... I wonder, in a way, the same old argument - does his blueprint, moving overseas at 21, after 4 seasons and 60 appearances in the A-League and breaking into the NT squad, earning a recent cap there? It seems the ideal time for him really and it seems to be working out that way? If only more could be a similar status, when they leave? It should almost be a pre-requisite I think and again, the likes of some other Aussies Abroad (Rogic?) etc... might watch on from this example? I guess it's more complicated, case-by-case, different rates of development, have to seize your chances when you can... but still, the odds of success are greater with a path and senior context like Brillante's?

Dortmund play a cup match against Stuttgart Kickers (3.Liga) tomorrow night , 11:30 aest. Hopefully Amini gets a run. Anyone know how long Weidenfeller is out for?
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Klopp: For Roman Weidenfeller and Mats Hummels the game comes tomorrow in Stuttgart too early. # bvb # dfb

I think it is not only the club but the player also feels it will be easier and that they have some connection to where they are going no matter how faint. The timing of his departure is very interesting looking at the most successful A-league exports and the amount of games they played. Jedi, Ryan and Kruse are the most successful overseas Aussies at the moment and all had 60+ games in the Australia (many of Jedi's were for Sydney United). Many of they other guys who have been less successful had between 20-40 games (Oar the main exception). An extra 20 games doesn't seem like a ton especially when you see Luongo playing about 50 games last season but it is a decent amount for a player to make in an A-league season.

Sainsbury looks to be out this week but bake training Tuesday which gices him a slight chance of playing in their Europa league qualifier first leg Wednesday I suppose. Lets hope the guy replacing him doesn't play well enough to push him out of the side Quote:Unbeaten
John gives himself leading a good selection in the skin sticks, PEC Zwolle has lost this season no contest. The number of injury cases is declining, goalkeeper Kevin Begois state after a hernia back on the field and Trent Sainsbury (ankle) is expected back Tuesday with the group.
There is, according to John's therefore no reason to tinker with the team. Maikel van der Werff, substitute last week, will replace the injured hit Sainsbury. For the rest of the team remains that a week ago defeated FC Utrecht (2-0). http://www.gelderlander.nl/algemeen/sport/jans-gaat-niet-sleutelen-aan-succesformatie-pec-zwolle-1.4490649

Brad Smith out for awhile. Hopefully they don't cancel the loan but it looks like Swindon will be getting another left back loanee Quote:Liverpool: Swindon loanee Brad Smith back at Anfield after injury
Swindon Town loanee Brad Smith has returned to parent club Liverpool for treatment on a knee injury, which could keep him out for several weeks.
The 20-year-old left-back joined the League One club on a season-long loan last week and made his debut in Saturday's victory over Scunthorpe.
But he was forced off with the injury in Tuesday's League Cup win at Luton.
"He probably won't feature for a few weeks," Swindon manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire.
"We think he's got a grade one medial strain. We're waiting for a scan result from Liverpool but he certainly won't be able to feature for a few games."
The Town boss went on to confirm that may have the chance to bring in cover before Saturday's league fixture at Crawley.
"We've maybe got the option of bringing a natural left-footer in," he added. "I've spoken to the chairman about that so we'll see what happens over the next few hours and next day. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28788250

Anyone with any idea how Curtis Good's recovery is coming along? Newcastle have a few outs ahead of their first round.

Kruse not in squad for German cup game against a 6th division side. 1:0 Leverkusen after 90 seconds with a team that sees Son and Drmic on the bench . Time to really get that loan or even permanent move sorted Robbie.

with no 3.liga games this week BVB II played a friendly against a 4th tier team. Amini played the full 90 and got the pick of BvB's 4 goals in the 53rd minute Quote:Test Match win against Wattenscheid Ozbek and Amini gather at 4: 2 BVB II game practice
DORTMUND While Kevin Grosskreutz front of the cabin with Mitsuru Maruoka with the mobile phone produced a "Selfie" Joseph Gyau met on the lawn to the final score. 4: 2 (2: 1) beat third division football Borussia Dortmund II on Thursday Brackelsberg in the regional league SG Wattenscheid 09th
"We wanted to attack Pressing still continue to train, which is very well done," coach David Wagner said with satisfaction. Only goalkeeper Hendrik Bonmann and the midfielder Ufuk Ozbek and Mustafa Amini came over the full 90 minutes to use.
Test Match: BVB II - SG Wattenscheid 09 4: 2 (2: 1) "We had good ball conquests in the first third, have made good goals, but has not been so mercilessly efficient as Wattenscheid," said Wagner. For the guests made from two chances two hits. Free weekend for Borussia met in the first round said Ozbek and Julian Derstroff - after a foul on Junior Flores - from the penalty spot. The most beautiful goal of the game scored Amini with a flick at the right angle.
TEAM AND GATES
BVB II (1 HZ): Bonmann - Knystock, shoe horn, Zimmermann, Güll - Maruoka, Amini - Yordanov, Flores, Ozbek - Derstroff BVB II (2 HZ): Bonmann - Narey, El_Bouazzati, Sarr, Bandowski - Amini, Nyarko - Gyau, Ozbek, Harder - Väyrynen Goals: 1: 0 Ozbek (21), 2: 0 Derstroff (38th, penalty), 2: 1 Kaplan (45), 3: 1 Amini (53) , 3: 2 Kaplan (75), 4: 2 Gyau (80)

Wilkinson and Jovanovic both played 90.
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.
