Dub Narcotic reacted to shamrock in NEW Mother of all Canucks Abroad (and domestic)
Noah Verhoeven signed for Fresno for the upcoming season. He's already made his USL-debut last season for Whitecaps FC 2. According to Wiki, he was in a Canadian U15 camp before switching to USA youth teams.

Toje mentioned this to me, then forgot to post it here. Or was going to get to it. Or maybe left it to me:
Chaim Roserie has signed for Alcoyano in Spanish 2B, third tier:

Roserie is a short 19 year old playing attacking mid, who was playing for Jacksonville Armada last season, while studying.
Actually the Alcoyano division includes teams from where I am, though they don't visit near Barcelona until April. A very strong team who have been close to getting promoted to Spanish 2A, well run club and good fan base. And a simple, decent stadium. Nice place for the kid to go.

Bakr Sadiz Abdellaoui has left Leganés B and has signed for Alcorcón B, playing in the same Tercera division in Madrid.
http://www.futmadrid.com/noticia/el-joven-extremo-bakr-abdellaoui-nuevo-jugador-del-alcorcon-b-para-la-temporada-2017-slash-18.html
He was on the bench on September 17 but did not play, subbed on m. 71 in a 1-1 draw against Mostoles, and this weekend played from m. 75 on in a loss to Alcobendas. They have six points after 6 games. Alcorcón has climbed from 7th tier in the 70s to play the last 8 years in 2nd division. There are folks on this board who have been to that stadium. Bakr was born in Finland but came to Canada aged 7.

Looks like Hirschfeld has stopped playing and is now an assistant coach with KFUM. If it is indeed the end, congratulations on a great career with club and national team. Our best gk in the past 15 years.

FCB Escola is not FC Barcelona, it is a pay as you go school that does not even play federated soccer, they play between themselves and do tournaments to get more games. Any decent kid can get in, as long as he is competent. It is a bad idea but parents get sucked into the name.
I know this because my kid used to play with a proper club that is also a Barça supporter group, UBCatalonia, and they had a deal to pick up Escola kids after they finished there, which if I recall right was u-13 (maybe u-14). Yes, my boy was that level, he played with former FCBEscola kids, which is lower-mid competitive football in Barcelona.
Roman Tulis academy in North Van deliberately falsifies this distinction, as they are doing now with a kid named Asvin Chauhan, they are conning people about what they are able to really produce by doing this. They conned people with that player named Gianni Patino in 2008, much reported here, as they collected donations to send him to Barcelona to the FCBEscola, as I saw it a scam.
The facilities are not even that great, they have this poor artificial field in the shadow of Camp Nou, Catalonia plays the other Barça supporter group clubs in tournaments there.
One of the few recent players who was FCEscola, then Catalonia, then was brought back to proper Barça academy and turned pro, was Jordi Gómez, who was at Wigan and now Sunderland. But hey, the club my kid is at now sent a player to proper FC Barcelona academy who played for Barça B and is now at Munich 1860, though on loan to Elche this year, Ilie Sánchez. This is not top level football by any means, in spite of exceptions, so better to be at a proper Bundesliga 3 club or League 2 than there.
