This one is a little more than "not normal..."
A man in suburban Detroit is now, officially, on trial for second degree murder for allegedly killing a soccer referee with one punch during a recreational league soccer match back in late June.
Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad will now be on trial for trial in the death of John Bienewicz. Saad was ejected from an adult soccer game when witnesses say he turned around and punched Bienewicz on the side of the head or the neck.
The medical examiner assigned to the case testified that Bienewicz lost consciousness before he hit the ground. The punch put him in a coma and he later died.
The defense...???
Attorneys defending Saad say he got "emotional..." and claim the case is more a manslaughter case than murder.
Fox 2 News Headlines
Arraignment is set for August 7th...
Nicholas Mendola, over at Pro Soccer Talk, has a great hook to the story. The Northern Guard, the supporter's group for the NPSL's Detroit City FC, had a cursing jar for the season. Last year, they donated their proceeds to "Holligans for Heroes." This year's funds are going to Bienewicz's "Friends of" fund to help his family.
To the tune of $6,000...
Well done...

NPSL Week 10 Midwest Region Review/Preview
Central Conference
Quad Cities is ahead and the group behind seems to taking good pieces of each other...
The Eagles lead is 5 over Madison (20-15) while FC Bordo (11) and the Minnesota squads TwinStars (9) and United Reserves (also 11) are all within reach of one another for the home stretch. Eau Claire Aris are still looking for their first win of the season.
Last week, QC pulled out 4 points against the Minnesotans while Madison watched. TwinStars lost to FC Bordo and Quad Cities while United reserves drew the conference leaders. Aris also had the weekend off.
This week, QC are at United. Madison also travel there. Aris also travel to TwinStars.
The Eagles did a little behind the scenes thing to let us know how they hold up before games
((HT: QC Eagles))
Great Lakes East Conference
This is one of the most fun conferences to pay attention to all season long...
Four teams now separated by five points... AFC Cleveland (15), Fort Pitt Regiment (14), Erie Admirals (11), and FC Buffalo (10)
Last week, AFCC beat FCB but lost at Erie. Fort Pitt lost a crossover match with Indiana Fire, but beat Cincinnati. FC Buffalo also lost to Lansing United, 2-1.
Here are those highlights
((HT: Lansing United their ownselves))
This week, Erie hosts Buffalo but then travels to Cleveland. Fort Pitt also goes to Buffalo Sunday.
Great Lakes West Conference
Another scramble, but in two separate groups...
Indiana Fire are a point ahead of Le Rouge (21-20) with Lansing at 18. Then, Cincinnati and Michigan are paired at 9 points heading into the weekend.
After beating Fort Pitt, Indiana lost 4-0 at DCFC.
Here's goal number two for DCFC, a spectacular free kick
((HT: Sam Raffa))
Michigan was idle.
This week, Indiana are off and Detroit City can make some serous moves with a game at Michigan before a home game with Cincinnati. Lansing does the reverse- hosting Cincinnati before heading to Michigan.

NPSL Week 7 Midwest Region Review/Preview
Central Conference
Early thoughts are that it's going to be Quad Cities and Madison for the top two spots and the Eagles home win last week may go a long way in solidifying that. Madison picked up some more game reps with a draw with FC Bordo- who play Quad Cities this week, by the way.
Madison hosts TwinStars this weekend, and here's a cool piece that was put together on life as a 56'er
((HT: themederman))
Bordo also put 7 on Eau Claire Aris FC last weekend. Aris are still looking for their first win of the year.
Minnesota United Reserves are battling TwinStars for 4th and 5th and drew each other last week.

The Admirals had a win and a draw last week- a win over Indiana Fire and a draw with Fort Pitt for the Regiment's point of the season combined with a loss to Michigan Stars.
This week, Fort Pitt plays three matches in five days- home to the Wolves and Erie, and then, travelling to Buffalo Sunday. AFC Cleveland has the weekend off...
Great Lakes West Conference
Detroit City, Lansing United, and Indiana Fire are all within three points of one another.
DCFC has a big six-pointer with Indiana on the road this week. Lansing had the week off, but they head to Indiana as well for another six-pointer as well. Michigan Stars and Cincinnati Saints are tied with nine points each in fourth. After Cincinnati drew even on points with a 4-1 win over Michigan last weekend, they both have the weekend off.

The Minnesota United Reserves are on top after a home-and-home win and have both FC Bordo and the Quad City Eagles in hot pursuit two points back.

NPSL This Week: June 27, 2013
The biggest story for the past week is out west where the OC Pateadores season came to a screaming halt after the lack of a consistent pitch caused them to forfeit the remainder of their games and send the division into a sprint...
The short version from the guys over at Parlor City:
Hasental suddenly finds that they have clinched the division (and a playoff spot) while the the Flash find themselves in a situation where they almost have to win each of their remaining matches. Santa Clarita will be disappointed that they don’t have a shot at the title, but have less pressure than San Diego to win both of their remaining matches and still claim the last playoff spot.
And while San Diego Boca will also pick up a forfeit victory, the extra points really only mean that Boca might be able to finish second to last instead of last.
Las Vegas had their hands full with Hasental this past weekend...
Here's Gustavo Villalobos second of the day in he 5-1 win
((HT: FC Hasental))
And here are the goals from the Flash win over Boca last weekend... the 2-2 draw, as it turns out, really hurt their playoff chances...
((HT: SD Diego))
Northern Division
Up north, it's two groups... Sonoma and Sacramento are separated by four points while Real San Jose and CD Aguiluchos are separated by three. San Jose plays Sacramento for pride this weekend...
Midwest Division
Top two heading into the weekend are still Quad City and Milwaukee with Madison in third. The Eagles won the division by, really being idle. The Bavarians did what they needed to do by winning twice, but the 56ers could only manage a draw at Eau Claire. The four teams below the Quad play each other again this weekend round robin for points.
Great Lakes Division
Detroit City and FC Buffalo are 1-2 as Le Rouge locked up the division with a 4-0 win last weekend.
Here's the highlights, if you're a DCFC fan...
((HT: Detroit FC))
Lauren Brill did a piece this past week on playing for the Wolves...
((HT: WIVB-TV))
Erie plays twice and can close the gap to second by season's end. FC Sparta and AFC Cleveland play to figure out fourth and fifth with Zanesville in the cellar- their season finale against DCFC (the only undefeated team in the league).
Mid Atlantic Division
It's RVA and Myrtle Beach for the division at Sports Backers Stadium. Myrtle, simply, needs a road win for the win. They kept their title hopes alive with a 5-1 win over CASL Elite at Ashley Booth. Two days earlier, the Mutiny knocked off DC United to cap the six-point week.
((HT: MB Mutiny/WMBF-TV))
Chesterfield and DCU will fight for third and fourth with the Elite in last.
South Central
It's still Tulsa and Liverpool- even with the Wsrriors getting the draw on the road. The two on the top play the two Houston teams on the bottom to close out the regular season.
Southeast
It's three teams for two spots- Chattanooga, Rocket City, and Gulf Coast at 18, 16, and 14 points. CFC escaped the weekend back-to-backs with two draws. Here's the look at the Gulf Coast draw
((HT: Mad Kemp))
CFC hosts New Orleans this weekend, Gulf Coast hosts Rocket City, while Knoxville and Mississippi will fight for the cellar.
Sunshine Division
It's Jacksonville United and everyone else. Miami United and Tampa are tied with 8 points going into the last weekend. Tampa hosts Jacksonville and the Revs host Cape Coral for their season finale.
Atlantic Division
It's the Red Bulls with a five-point lead over the Brooklyn Italians and the Red Bulls take to the post-season not having a goal scored upon them. Rhode Island plays twice- against Brooklyn and third-place NYAC.
Keystone Division
This one should be fun...
Three teams for two slots- Greater Binghamton, Lehigh Valley, and Junior Lone Star. But, if Lone Star loses, they could finish fifth. Binghamton gets fifth place Hershey. LVU is at Pocono Snow, and Clarkstown hosts JLS. The bottom half of the ladder is FC Reading, Morris County, Pocono, and Buxmont Torch.
Player of The Week
The winner, for the week ending June 16th, is Rocket City United striker Khurram Shazad.
Shazad registered 4 goals and 1 assist in a 5-4 win over the Mississippi Storm on June 15th.
This performance set a team record for the most goals and most points in a single game. Since 2009, Rafa Barbosa had held that record. This is also the first time a Rocket City player has ever claimed National Player of the Week honors.
Shazad is also a member of the Young Harris College men's soccer team. The Halifax, England native has appeared in 37 matches for the Mountain Lions, scoring 12 goals and 10 assists.

Up north, it's two groups... Sonoma and Sacramento are separated by four points while Real San Jose and CD Aguiluchos are separated by three. San Jose plays Sacramento for pride this weekend...
Midwest Division
Top two heading into the weekend are still Quad City and Milwaukee with Madison in third. The Eagles won the division by, really being idle. The Bavarians did what they needed to do by winning twice, but the 56ers could only manage a draw at Eau Claire. The four teams below the Quad play each other again this weekend round robin for points.
Great Lakes Division
Detroit City and FC Buffalo are 1-2 as Le Rouge locked up the division with a 4-0 win last weekend.
Here's the highlights, if you're a DCFC fan...
((HT: Detroit FC))
Lauren Brill did a piece this past week on playing for the Wolves...
((HT: WIVB-TV))
Erie plays twice and can close the gap to second by season's end. FC Sparta and AFC Cleveland play to figure out fourth and fifth with Zanesville in the cellar- their season finale against DCFC (the only undefeated team in the league).
Mid Atlantic Division
It's RVA and Myrtle Beach for the division at Sports Backers Stadium. Myrtle, simply, needs a road win for the win. They kept their title hopes alive with a 5-1 win over CASL Elite at Ashley Booth. Two days earlier, the Mutiny knocked off DC United to cap the six-point week.
((HT: MB Mutiny/WMBF-TV))
Chesterfield and DCU will fight for third and fourth with the Elite in last.
South Central
It's still Tulsa and Liverpool- even with the Wsrriors getting the draw on the road. The two on the top play the two Houston teams on the bottom to close out the regular season.
Southeast
It's three teams for two spots- Chattanooga, Rocket City, and Gulf Coast at 18, 16, and 14 points. CFC escaped the weekend back-to-backs with two draws. Here's the look at the Gulf Coast draw
((HT: Mad Kemp))
CFC hosts New Orleans this weekend, Gulf Coast hosts Rocket City, while Knoxville and Mississippi will fight for the cellar.
Sunshine Division
It's Jacksonville United and everyone else. Miami United and Tampa are tied with 8 points going into the last weekend. Tampa hosts Jacksonville and the Revs host Cape Coral for their season finale.
Atlantic Division
It's the Red Bulls with a five-point lead over the Brooklyn Italians and the Red Bulls take to the post-season not having a goal scored upon them. Rhode Island plays twice- against Brooklyn and third-place NYAC.
Keystone Division
This one should be fun...
Three teams for two slots- Greater Binghamton, Lehigh Valley, and Junior Lone Star. But, if Lone Star loses, they could finish fifth. Binghamton gets fifth place Hershey. LVU is at Pocono Snow, and Clarkstown hosts JLS. The bottom half of the ladder is FC Reading, Morris County, Pocono, and Buxmont Torch.
Player of The Week
The winner, for the week ending June 16th, is Rocket City United striker Khurram Shazad.
Shazad registered 4 goals and 1 assist in a 5-4 win over the Mississippi Storm on June 15th.
This performance set a team record for the most goals and most points in a single game. Since 2009, Rafa Barbosa had held that record. This is also the first time a Rocket City player has ever claimed National Player of the Week honors.
Shazad is also a member of the Young Harris College men's soccer team. The Halifax, England native has appeared in 37 matches for the Mountain Lions, scoring 12 goals and 10 assists.

NPSL This Week: June 20, 2013
Atlantic Division
Looks like it's still the Red Bulls and the Brooklyn Italians on top... in five games, the Red Bulls still haven't given up a goal. The two square off this weekend at NJIT on Saturday.
The four other squads are only separated by three points: The NYAC and the Seacoast Mariners play on Saturday as well. The Seacoast Phantoms take on NYAC on Sunday.
Keystone Division
Greater Binghamton has a three point lead on Hershey and four over Junior Lone Star. The next three teams have only two points apart while the bottom three are only two points apart as well. Binghamton can get more points on the board against Pocono Snow. Hershey takes on Clarkstown and Junior Lone Star takes on FC Reading.
Junior Lone Star tied Lehigh Valley, but that didn't sit well with one of the JLS wingers, @galileo87:
Refs are bound to make mistakes;its part of the human element (imperfection).But when they tend to override their conscience! It annoys me.
A shame that the battle between the "Haves" & "Have nots" has started disrupting the image of the Beautiful Game. Play fair, play beautiful.
This was in reference to our NPSL game yesterday. We will keep our heads up, loose no composure and we shall bounce back @juniorlonestar.
Discrimination and Bias will always exist; never judge all by the actions of few because two wrongs doesn't make the situation any righter.
Mid Atlantic Division
One of the more competitive division out there with the top four teams only three points out. RVA takes on Chesterfield, separated by two points. Myrtle Beach beat DC United Wednesday and get cellar dweller CASL Elite.
South Central
The blistering start of Tulsa Athletics has a seven-point lead over Liverpool with the two Houston franchises way back after 8 games have been played. Tulsa, who is right now at +24 in goal differential, hosts Liverpool this weekend.
Southeast Division
It's two halves: Chattanooga, Gulf Coast, and Rocket City are three points apart. Knoxville, New Orleans, and Jester City are the lower half- also separated by three. Chattanooga plays a home game with Gulf Coast and then travels for a Wednesday match with Rocket City. This may go a long way to sorting out the top.
A really cool thing happened with Chattanooga FC with their game last week. The team went pink for breast cancer in memory of local anchor Mary Ellen Locher, who was lost to the disease...
Matt Reakes explains why it was such a big deal...
((HT: Mad Kemp))
Here's a preview of Chattanooga FC and Gulf Coast...
New Orleans has two matches with Rocket City and Knoxville. Mississippi has the weekend off at the bottom of the table.
Sunshine Division
Jacksonville United has a four-point lead on the Georgia Revs with the Revs only two points clear of both Tampa and Miami. Jacksonville plays Miami, and the Revs get the weekend off. Tampa gets Cape Coral at home.
Central Division
Quad Cities is still in control with 22 points and get the weekend off. The next two, Milwaukee and Madison are two points apart. The Bavarians have a road trip with Minnesota and Eau Claire while Madison does the reverse. This weekend will go a long way to figuring out whether the division will get more condensed or pulled apart.
Great Lakes Division
Two distinct groups- Detroit City FC and FC Buffalo are 1-2 and three points apart. The Wolves get FC Sparta Michigan and a big Sunday matchup with Detroit City this weekend. Erie, in fourth, gets AFC Cleveland and Zanesville.
Detroit City had no problems last week with Zanesville, winning 4-0
((HT: Detroit City FC))
And here's the second half of the game last week where FC Buffalo FINALLY beat Erie, 1-0
((HT: wnymedia))
Northern California
Sonoma County and Sacramento are a point apart on top with Real San Jose five points back in third. CD Aguiluchos and San Francisco are fourth and fifth- they play each other this weekend. Sonoma gets San Jose and Sacramento has the weekend off.
Southern California
The other "most competitive" division with three teams separated by four points. FC Hasental beat San Diego on the road to move to 24 points. The Flash are now tied with Santa Clarita at 20. Orange County is at 17 points with Las Vegas and SD Boca at the bottom of the table.
The Flash take on Boca, Hasental take on Vegas, and Santa Clarita takes on OC...
Last week, Hasental stopped the Flash's unbeaten streak at seven games. Here's the game winner by Manuel Cazares
((HT: FC Hasental))
Player of the Week
The winner, for the week ending June 9th, is Zanesville Athletic defender/midfielder Smart Osadolor.
Osadolor has been one of Zanesville Athletic's most consistent performers this season. Last weekend Osadolor was moved from his usual left back spot to left midfielder. He responded with two goals and an assist for the weekend, helping Zanesville to its first-ever point in a 2-2 draw with FC Sparta Michigan on June 9th.
Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Osadolor comes to ZAFC from Tiffin University, where he will be a sophomore in the fall.
