Yengi and Silvera starting. No Farrell. 

yengi and silvera starting, farrell not in squad yet

yengi assist

For fuck sake injured in the first game of the season!! 

This is the best case scenario for me....  Hope the lad gets 100+ mins and a goal or two in his first season, anything else is pure cream on top stuff.... 

Yazbek started in Nashville's loss to Liga MX side Mazatlan in he leagues cup. 

Getting decent reviews on twitter. 

A nice article on upcoming games for Aussies Abroad:

Nobody talks about Denis Genreau but his playing in ligue one arguably our AA playing at the highest level 

That article says genreau only played 15 mins. He isn't injured again is he?

Sofiascore is saying he played 45 mins not sure where they got 15 mins from. Also the match before he started got a 7.4 rating he might not be lighting it in fire but think we should keep a eye out for him 

Definitely agree with the comments on Genreau. Don't think he's been given anywhere near enough of a chance with the NT. Injuries have been a factor though.

Anyone know anything much how Italiano is going at Grazer AK? I was hoping he would be playing RB but looks more like RW from what I can tell in pre-season. Hope he can get some decent first team minutes as he certainly did his time with Monchengladbach II.

Kalik played for hajduk in Europa league 

Austria season starts tonight with Grazer AK hosting RB Salzburg. Italiano got the final 30 in a cup win on penalties last weekend. He didn't take a pen. Their opponent was from the 4th tier.

Italiano bench in season opener.

Bundesliga 2 opens with Cologne Hamburg. Saw a post it could be the biggest 2nd division of all time with numerous European champions and German champions not to mention stadiums capacities. 

Italiano with final 25 in 3:2 loss. Damage limitation against a powerhouse on opening day. 

Portsmouth have signed Danish striker Elias Sorensen from the Danish second division. 

Looks like left wing back?

Genreau is interesting. He's never quite nailed a starting spot at Toulouse. His NT performances haven't been spectacular but he hasn't had an extended run at it (injury + form). I think he's more technical and theres room in the squad for a midfielder a bit different to the Irvine/Baccus mold. Especially with Luongo retired.

Looking at MCGs post must have been a typo in the article. Wrote 15 but meant to write 45. 

Greaves over Burgess again for Ipswich in their pre-season clash with Hoffenheim. I feel like Burgess had gone from best 11 to squad player. 

Irankunda on the bench for Bayern of course. Pavlesic not playing. 

Bayern are streaming the game on YouTube. https://m.youtube.com/live/UFRLDM1DoZ8

Hopefully we get to see Nestor. 

Genreaus last two seasons were injury disrupted. Hope he hasnt fallen behind

Neiwenhof due back in a few weekz

Bos due back in a few weeks, injury not too serious

Irankunda coming on for Bayern

his been on for a bit and does not look out of palce

Irankunda on

Ipswich up 1-0 at HT v Hoffenheim. Luongo + Burgess subbed on for the second half.

Got a chance at a difficult angle. Sort of shot we are used to him scoring off, but with his left foot. Needs to get his confidence up

Hopefully nothing to read into yet

Yengi and Silvera named in the starting 11 for Pompey's last pre-season game v Charlton.
