Cracking goal by Irankunda…

Ahh shit never knew it was on. Would have been good to catch.

Not saying he’s going to make it but I don’t recall the Kuol boys getting videos like this.

He scored two on the weekend. He’s making progress.

I wonder if Irankunda is on the verge of getting a first team call-up, if Popovic decided not to bring him over for this Socceroos squad.

Hopefully, though I have a suspicion it is Popa going all old school (see respect for the jersey etc.) and not picking anyone who isn’t grovelling for a cap, ignoring the reality of players having choices, risking losing players to other nations over outdated(? I’m undecided) notions of loyalty.

It’s 3 senior caps now to lock someone in isn’t it?

Which really is mental.

Things not looking great for Ange. Spurs are 10th and just lost to Ipswich

Or you could also say Spurs are 3 points off 3rd with the 2nd best goal difference in the league

For qualifiers etc. Any major tournament appearance.

Ange getting the sack? Naaaaa, 3 nil at Manchester (so far) isn’t so bad

3 points shy of second now, still second best goal difference and highest goals scored.

Peter Cklamovski has left his job as manager of FC Tokyo to take on a new gig as manager of the Malaysian national team.

Seems a little odd. Was the Tokyo gig a short contract or has he chosen to leave?

From this article it seems like Malaysia might have made him a good offer to come in and run the show for them as they push for improvement to the next level.

Arthur Papas has moved on from Buriram United to take over at Cerezo Osaka.

Looks like Maty Ryan has finally made a competitive appearance for Roma, in their 4-1 Coppa victory over my very mediocre Sampdoria who will likely end up mid table in Serie B.
I have no idea how he went but he got a 5.9 on Fotmob and the goal he conceded was a shot to the middle of the goal and was Samp’s only shot on target.

Ryan could’ve improved his chances by not hesitating, but that goal is totally on Hermoso’s terrible gamble.
