My bad, I had a look and it was 2-1, but the match didn't have live coverage or score updates so thought it must have been F/T...
Bagged two goals in a 2-2 draw, including a bicycle! Good stuff
Highlights link?

The bicycle’s on his Insta story, but i second this. Was a cup game that ended 2-2, but Floro won on penalties 5-4
Has featured in 6 leagues games so far this season, receiving two red cards, both second yellows (April 28, June 2)
After 8 games, Floro sit 7th on 10pts
Division 2 Norway (3rd tier) has been on it's own one month summer break. Restarts next weekend.
Floro are 7th of 14 teams in Group 2.
Dyer has played 8 games (from possible 11), and scored twice. And yes he's been red carded twice as well, as mentioned above.
People who watched him in the NRFL and the National League will not be remotely shocked by that last stat.

Not forgetting the rugby tackle any time soon
Scored overnight in a 2-0 win over Fram Larvik.
Seems to be having a decent season in the Norwegian lower leagues - 3 goals in the league and a couple in the NM Cupen, to go with a couple of red cards as well...
Standard of competition aside, it's not a bad return in 11 games. If he keeps up his form I'd hope he'd at least get an opportunity to move on to a bigger club/league, or maybe even look to push on for promotion with his current club who are currently sitting 5 points off a promotion play off place.
Another goal for Dyer in a 2-1 loss to table topping Kjelsås
Florø in a bit of a slump having lost 4 of their past 5 matches, seemingly drifting in to midtable mediocrity.

Florø in a bit of a slump having lost 4 of their past 5 matches, seemingly drifting in to midtable mediocrity.
The drift to mid table for Florø became permanent.
Season finishes next weekend, and they lie 8th in the 2nd Division Group Two. Safe from relegation, but also no chance of promotion.
This is 3rd tier Norwegian football.
Dyer's played 18 of 25 games with 13 starts. With 5 goals.
Think it was initially a one year deal with Florø, so apart from a summer break in NZ, who knows what next.
Season over for Florø, with a 4-3 win to finish 7th.
Dyer with a goal to give him 6 for the campaign.
Has joined Valour FC in Canada:
We have signed New Zealand international midfielder Moses Dyer to a contract.

That's a step up. Good on the lad.
Hope this is the first of many Kiwi's to Canada after setting up their own Premier football competition.
so prob about handa level then...?
stephen hoyle carved up nzfc then went to the same club and didnt do particually well. Id say a bit better than here. Others on the forum would put it at pub football or central league level.

Definitely a step up and a good step in the right direction for the lad.
Salary cap for Canadian Premier League sits at around $1 million (CAD) a season per club, possibly a bit more too, as I'm struggling to find an accurate figure, as it's something that's never been made public.
It's a competition that's one season old and as such, really hard to judge too much on quality having never seen a game from over there. But my money is on it being a step or two above the handy, in both terms of money on the table, facilities, and coverage. Would imagine it would only get stronger too over the coming years.
Could also be a good option for all the NZer's who are stateside, finishing university, and who may be unlikely to secure a gig at MLS or USL level. Could see a few of these young Kiwi's looking North of the border over the coming years to secure a footballing future. Just my thoughts of course, but i'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who see's it like this...

HBU have had a few players come over from there in past haven't they? How did those guys stake up here?

I can only think of one, Dylan Sacramemto midfielder scored 3 goals in 8 games. Left to Galway united in ireland around the same time HB stopped getting results. Who else was there?
Calum Ferguson for Canterbury, from the same club. Chch fans will be able to tell you a lot more than I can but apparently he wasn’t very good at all
Wow, thats intresting. Would love to hear a canty fans opinion. He certinly hasn't registed with me.

Decidedly average striker.
Has scored two goals for the Dragons this season and never really offered much.
Had a few seasons with Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premier League aged 18 - 21 (two appearances)
Scottish-born and lived his whole life there but has played for the Canadian national sides at youth level due to his mum.
Played for Valour in Canada last year before being released
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calum_Ferguson
Now released prematurely by Canterbury United who let all their foreign players go after the Auckland City thrashing two weeks ago.
He was looking very morose in the stand at the Dragons game at English Park on Sunday.
Certainly has better attendances than Handy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Canadian_Premier_League_season
Thread name is unfairly harsh on Dyer. Even a little nasty.
Plenty of other Kiwis playing at similar level or below overseas.
Not his fault Hudson kept picking him. But the Moses 'bashing' effectively continues, when he's just another young NZ guy trying to make it as a pro footballer.

Thought the same, it's a little bit sad really.
Hopefully the guy or girl who made the name has the guts to say who they were
stupidity should be limited to comments in the thread
not the title

Especially when there are arguably Kiwis with their own thread who are playing at a lower/similar level...
But I agree, it's just a title and a bit of a joke, nothing to start a revolution over!
Notice who ever made the title still has an attitude
Please change the thread title
At last, respect for the Canadian Premier League.
Well done.
The young guys career looks a lot more credible now
Well done
From this week's Flying Kiwis.
As others have said, wasn't his fault Huddo chucked him in so young.
At age 18, he was thrust into a New Zealand camp as an emergency call-up, and made his international debut in 2015.
Dyer was, and this is his quote, “really bad” during that first stint.
“Before this, I had only ever played in the National League in New Zealand, which is as professional as that level can be,” Dyer began. “I had never experienced such a top-level environment. I was in shock the whole time, even at the hotel when I got there.
“The coach somehow believed I wouldn’t get swooped up in it all. He knew I wouldn’t feel pressure training with some of these players, like Chris Wood. I didn’t feel the pressure… but I was so bad.
“The last training session went really well and I thought, ‘alright, at least I can take this.'”
The last thing Dyer expected was to be called in with 15 minutes to go in the match vs. South Korea.
“He calls me from the bench and my jaw drops. I almost replied, ‘but I had a s–t week.’ I got about 15 minutes, which was pretty good. I did relatively well,” Dyer said before pausing, only to recount “the” moment when he was nutmegged by ex-Swansea City, Sunderland, and Newcastle United midfielder Ki Sung-yueng.
“He put his foot on the ball and just rolls it through my legs so nonchalantly,” Dyer recalled.
“It was the way he ‘megged. He put his foot on the ball and waited about two seconds for me to run toward him. That’s all anyone wanted to talk about… me getting nutmegged. I was just this young guy trying so hard… and I got embarrassed on my debut.”
scored a decent goal v India though :)
AW's 2nd most recent goal scorer, isn't playing at the moment.

The Canadian Premier League clubs have returned to training, but there is no date set for when Canada’s league will begin play.
See that citizens from Canada (assume same applies to those resident in Canada) are part of the 15 countries allowed into Europe at the moment.
Of course that could quickly change, but given such shallow playing pool Hay will likely get to choose from if that Belgium game goes ahead, might see Dyer picked.
No safer place to hold your version of a 'football hub', than a small Island I guess.
The Canadian Premier League announced Wednesday it will hold a shortened 2020 season in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island beginning August 13.
Dyer hasn't played a competitive football game since October 2019 in Norway.
And yipe checked out that Canada (along with NZ & Aus) is still on the magic list of countries (now down to 13), who's citizens/resident can enter the EU. He probably wouldn't care at all if he had to quarantine back upon return to Canada, if called up by Hay. Should work in okay with the end of this short 2020 Canadian club summer season thing.
Young Moses (still only 23) to nutmeg Bruyne, ghost past Alderweireld and beat Courtois at the near post to put the Euro/Canadian AWs up 5-0 at HT.
Shortened Canadian season kicks off. Basically a hub format on Prince Edward Island.
Two matches a week, with a single round for the 8 teams (7 games), then playoffs. All over by mid September???
Valour with a 0-2 home loss to Cavalry.
Dyer subbed on at 72 mins, at same scoreline.
