    I didn't watch the game but Finley scored his second goal in three games today. You can see the goal below 50 seconds into the video.

    I watched most of the game between AFC United and Ängelholm yesterday. It was a potential matchup between three yanks abroad, however Tristan Bowen remained on the bench where he has spent most of his time so far this season (around 90 minutes played 6 games into the league).

    Ryan Finley and Josh Wicks both started for their teams and one would have hoped that this would have meant alot of situations where both the forward and his opponent goalkeeper was involved. However, this was not to be as Finley was almost completely invisible in this game. Granted that this might have been his toughest opponent so far but it was the worst game I've seen from him. All is not negative though as he still has an scoring rate of 0.49 goals per 90 games played in the league so he has been doing well overall so far.

    Wicks didn't have that much to do, maybe he could have pulled off a great save on one of the goals he conceded but I think overall he has a pretty solid reputation as one of the most reliable keepers in Superettan, the commentator of the game even said this. AFC United is looking really good in general as a team and seem very likely to get promoted at the end of the year which I guess would be a nice return for Wicks to the bigger stages after alot of years out in the wilderness.

    After five games without scoring Finley doubled his season total today with two new goals in a 2-2 draw.

    Former Columbus Crew and Chivas USA forward Ryan Finley has penned a short-term contract with Danish club Naestved BK.

    Naestved's sporting director Jesper Frisenholm confirmed the move in the local media, giving details about the the team's approach to the signing and hopes for the 25 year-old forward, who moves from Swedish Superettan club Ängelholms FF.

    "We have made an agreement that initially applies to the rest of this year," Frisenholm clarified, adding "we would like to just see how he fits into our style of play."

    Naestved plays in the second tier of the Danish system, and is currently in the middle of the division's standings with a win, loss and draw in first three games.

    Media reports suggest that it will still take several weeks to sort out his residence and work permit before he can begin playing for the team, however this will still leave him close to 15 games to make his case before the onset of the league's winter break in late-November.

    I was wondering why he couldn't be found on a team sheet for Angelholm.
