Kehassemea Franck Othniel Zoue is a 23 year old who made his debut for Vyskov in the Czech Republic 3rd tier. He is apparently a Cameroonian/Canadian.

He played with FC Montreal in the USL back in 2015.

Yes, he also came up through Calgary Foothills before moving to Montreal.

Elijah left Vancouver to return to Calgary because he was homesick. This is from a member of Rev. Adekugbe's congregation. I believe he is 2 years younger than Sam, so he's a '97. Would have been eligible for this U20 cycle. Was he better than the options we called up? Who would you have left off?

Elijah Adekugbe is born in 96.

If I understand this right, La'vere Corbin-Ong will be playing at the highest level of all Canadians in the 3. Liga (along with Hainault)?

In Germany, yes. Edwin-Bonsu also played at this level last season, but is no longer with that club (Vfr Aalen).

You could wait for it, Corbin-Ong lands a better club after his stellar performance in the Regionalliga (4). FSV Frankfurt (3) have signed the English Canadian (or the other way around). A little underwhelming as I think there might have been some interest of 2. Liga clubs but FSV relegated last season and are a perennial 2. Liga club, not to mention Frankfurt itself is loaded. FSV is Frankfurts second club btw after Eintracht (Unity) of course. 

I wonder when he'll get his call-up, Corbin-Ong plays left back / CB.

Good to see him moving up a league. FSV spent the last 8 seasons in the 2. Liga but with the exception of one 4th place finish, they mostly flirted with relegation every season. They also had the 2nd lowest average attendance in the 2. Liga last season. Prior entering the 2. Liga, they played in the Oberliga and Regionalliga. I think they're more likely to be a mid-table 3. Liga team next season, rather than a promotion contender. But we shall see.

Kicker with an article on Andre Hainault re-signing with FC Magdeburg of the 3. Liga. Term seems to be through the 2017/18 season. He's spent most of the 2nd half of the season injured but started 18 games this season prior to his injury. Magdeburg were promoted last season to the 3. Liga and have flirted with the promotion places at times but are currently around 6th or 7th and won't be going up.
