Pretty self explanitory if you follow Cricket or any sport and there's some hint of bookmaker influence. Seems to mostly be from India.

That's the third Riga team recently promoted. I saw a couple of FC daugava games a few years ago and the standard is not high. Handyprem would be better.

Wasn't it Daugava Riga that Aberdeen played and they were found to have been guilty of match fixing? Dons weren't part of the accusation, but i remember we properly pumped them. Think they got dissolved not long after.  Why anyone would want to play in that league is beyond me.

Maybe, but I was talking of the team from Daugavpils which is a city near the border with Belarus.

Googled, it was FC daugava from daugavpils who did the match fixing not Riga daugava.

Ah I see where my confusion came from then! But FK also lost their licence that year due to financial mismanagement and no longer exist

Roly B. with a goal for Curaçao in a 3-1 demolition of India who looked woeful. A bunch of highlights out there so get googling.

Curaçao won the tourney beating Vietnam on pens in final. Finished 1-1 end NT.

Roly B subbed after 72 mins.

Curaçao now head off to play in Gold Cup. El Salvador, Honduras & Jamaica in their pool. So a later match up against Boyd & USMT unlikely

Well the unlikely now looks likely.

Curaçao managed a draw with Jamaica, and make the QFs (finished 2nd in Pool C) where they play the top team from Pool D. 

That could well be USMT, who play Panama to decide top spot (both on 6 points currently) in Pool D. 

Sadly Roly B, hasn't featured at the Gold Cup to date (injured after tourney in Thailand??) - so an otherwise fascinating little reunion with Boyd doesn't look a goer.

He was back in Sydney a week ago, maybe he pulled out of the squad?

Player wives don’t tend to like Wellington. So probably lessens the chance we’ll sign him again!

Do NIX get any kind of royalty payments should he get signed from a big club? Not sure how long this goes back.

FIFA's solidarity mechanism starts from the season in which a player turns 12. From ages 12-15 its 0.25% of the Transfer fee per season & 0.5% for ages 16-23.

If he was here for a couple seasons and registered with the Nix, we might get 0.5% of a transfer free, so not much. If Boyd gets his transfer for a few million euros, that 1.5% might be worth the Nix chasing up tho.

Funny I googled him just the other day to see if he'd signed anywhere. He'll probably love the weather and fairly short distance to Ireland and the rest of Europe...
His new club is 19 years old but they've already won 4 trophies including the Israeli premier league... Not bad!

Tratt in the starting XI for Perth as they set up in a 5-3-2, switching to 3-5-2 going forward against Manchester United.

Huge learning curve for the kid and he'll be in for a big shift. United with over 70% possession and into double digits on shots (3 on target) after just half an hour.

0-0 for the moment however.
