    he was way up top. Playing as striker?
    Hope this means he's earned a start this weekend.

    No, he just made the correct run (and a Messi-like finish)

    Looked like he had done that a few thousand times (maybe he has in training, who knows) That marking was a bit, umm, lax, shall we say. Have to give it to the guy though, he diagnosed the weak point and had the quicks to get into the void. Well taken goal.

    Came in late in a Champions League match against Galatasaray. He hit a nice free kick to the keeper and one of his defenders pounced on the rebound to score. Probably puts Anderlecht through into the Europa League next.

    Started and played the 1st half, but Anderlecht lost 4-2 to Mouscrow-Peruwelz. They were down 3-1 when he was subbed.

    Today played 69' versus Dortmund, in a 1-1 tie that serves no purpose to either team, since Borussia is already through and Anderlecht is going to the Europa. He marked Gündogan, and did an ok job of it, allowing him only two dangerous moves (Gündogan was subbed a couple of minutes before Sacha, BTW).

    Anderlecht drew Dinamo Moscow in the round of 32. That's a pretty dangerous team; they won all 6 of their group stage games and 8 of 10 overall in the Europa League (2 draws).

    Did he score that with his knee? Emulating Dempsey's crotch goal against Portugal it seems :cautious:

    Its possible that their big name players could be gone by the time Anderlecht play them though

    Very possible. The Kontinental Hockey League is in serious trouble, with teams on the edge of folding, player's contracts cratering in value, you name it. Hockey is Putin's favourite team sport and the league is lavishly funded compared with footy. If that's the case there, you have to wonder about Russia's football teams.

    True. The financial situation in Russia is terrible. If I could leave in Jan, I would
