Quentin Westberg at AJ Auxerre

So you're saying Bingo is his name? Oh.

 

90 minutes in a 1-1 draw at Stade Laval. I guess Kamara is still away as he wasn't in the squad.

More Westberg news:

He started and got the clean sheet in a 1-0 win against Angers in the Coupe de la Ligue. "Bingo" Kamara was on the bench, so I guess he is back with the team and is likely to start next game.

Westberg back on the bench in the league but got a start and a shutout in a 0-2 win at 5th division Olympique Saumur in the Coupe de France.

Another shutout in a 2-0 extra time win over Liborne in the Coupe de France.

3-2 loss at Lorient in the Coupe de France. Westberg went 90, er, 120.

EDIT: I forgot that he also played in a 2-1 loss to Lyon in the other Cup (Coupe de la Ligue). Tours are now out of both cups and Westberg isn't likely to get much time for the rest of the year, barring injury.

Why does France have 2 cup competitions and which is the more prestigious? It can be annoying that England has the same. FA has more glory status which leaves the Capital One cup being played by reserve squads from the big clubs.

 

Coupe de France is more prestigious. Coupe de la Ligue is only open to pro clubs.

 

I think this article indicates that he's still at Tours:

He started their 0-0 home draw to kick off the season on July 29. The Google Translate of the brief write-up I read indicated that it was a disappointing result for Tours and Westberg made one spectacular save.

Up next on the schedule, a visit to Lens on Friday.

 

Getting some Yank on Yank action in Ligue 2:

Westberg still at Tours. I'd like to see him come to MLS to get more playing time.

 

probably earns way more there then he would at MLS...just a guess

 

Looks like Quentin's contract is up at Tours - no word on whether he is staying or not (yet)

 

He's a 31 year old with only a handful of games above the D3 level. I doubt any MLS teams are interested.

Quentin has signed today with AJ Auxerre also in France Ligue 2

 

I'm quite curious how his accent sounds.

 

Considering he was born and has lived his entire life in France, I imagine his French is accent-less

 

but when speaking English, that's what causes my curiosity

 

Playing his first game with Auxerre today in a friendly
