from his twitter..Apia Leichhardt vs Sydney FC @ Lambert Park Wed 7.30pm Kick Off.
Time to see what an A-League team has in the locker

Be good if he can show something against FC. Kosta wasn't dominant for Macarthur you have to remember (esp) those for letting Kosta go.

Speaking of Rhyss Keane I think I spotted him on the sidelines at APIA v Manly last Sunday. Injured? Nothing about him on the NSWPL site about him.

Christopher "Chris" Paul James (born 4 July 1987) is an association football player who plays for Kuopion Palloseura in the Veikkausliiga. KuPS finished 6th in 2011 over 12 teams in the finnish premier league. He signed a 1 year contract in January 2012.In 2008 James already played in Finland with Tampere united. On 14 April 2011 the club were suspended indefinitely by the Finnish Football Association because they had received money from a dubious company based in Singapore, known for involvement in fixed games, and they have therefore been excluded from the 2011 season of the Veikkausliiga.[1]

Isn't it amazing he's still only 24 (turns 25 in July)?
Seems to have been around for yonks but just attracted a lot of attention whilst very young.
Plenty of time still to re-build a professional career after a few years away...
Even could make it back into the All Whites fold come June Nations Cup or later games...

Full 90 for james in wedneday and today's game. KuPS qualified for the next round of suomen cup on Penalty kicks, despite playing with 10 players. Today, James played the full 90 but they lost 1-0 in the veikkausliga.

Played 84 minutes and scored a goal in a 2-0 win. KuPS out of relegation zone for now on goal differential

Played the first half of this morning's first Europa League qualifying round against Llanelli. KuPS won 2-1, all goals were scored in the first half.

Good to see Chris playing regularly again (11 appearances - 9 starts for KuPs this year) after only four appearances during his last two years in Europe in 2009 and 2010 - a period blighted by injury, lack of fitness and poor form for Tampere and Barnet.
And "Happy Birthday" too - Chris turned 25 this week - still a lot of playing years ahead of him, although it seems like he's been around for ages...

How come he was subbed off after the first half? Did he get injured?

New Zealanders will forever have a love for Chris James because when he did appear for the All Whites he looked pretty decent. Also the whole Fulham reserves thing seems to be overlooked as playing EPL. I hope for his sake that he can cement himself as one of the top performers in Finland and perhaps one day push for All Whites inclusion again. But right now it aint happening.

Was wondering what his chances are like of a recall to the NZ squad for the WCQ? Better than Leo Bertos surely!
Not happening.

I feel like James would bebefit from coming back to NZ/Aus to see where he stands against the locals

Well, he was in Australia playing for APIA Leichardt last year. There was not interest from the A-league clubs so that should tell us something.
