"The Giant Laser is working!!!... er, I mean, look... a storm."TORONTO VS. VANCOUVERAMWAY CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIPFINALS 2ND LEG - AGGREGATE 1-1 BMO FIELD - WEDNESDAY 8PM ETTV: SPORTSNET ONE THE KICKABOUT:With all of the off-season expectations of better things to come forgotten, Toronto FC's 2012
season has (already) come down to this.
Napoli ended a 22-year wait for silverware by beating Juventus 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final on
Sunday, a defeat which ruuned Juventus's shot at an unbeaten season and domestic double.
An Edinson Cavani penalty put Napoli ahead after 63 minutes, with Marek Hamsik ensuring victory
seven minutes from time at the Stadio Olimpico.
There are a few ways you can look at the Seattle Sounders' 2-2 tie with the Vancouver Whitecaps
on Saturday. Either you can be satisfied that, despite playing their worst game of the season, they
pulled out a point on the road against a Cascadia Cup opponent. Or you can focus on the reality
that the defense looked downright awful at times and that the team with a week of rest looked much
less energetic than the one who was playing its seventh match in 23 days.
The Vancouver Whitecaps looked poised to take all three points and earn some bragging rights on
rival Seattle, but the Sounders were bailed out by a familiar hero who delivered yet another clutch
goal.
Freddy Montero scored in the 90th minute to help give the Sounders a 2-2 tie at BC Place in
Vancouver.

Meeting in the finals of the Canadian championship is nothing new for Toronto FC and the
Vancouver Whitecaps, who have tangled for the right to hoist the Voyageurs Cup in each of the last
three years. Even though Toronto FC has won all three of those meetings, one look at the MLS
standings would suggest that it might just be the Whitecaps' year to break the hex and earn their
first berth in the CONCACAF Champions League.
You could say that Revolution fans got their money's worth on Saturday night.
In a display of firepower rarely seen in Foxboro during the last two years, the Revolution
racked up four goals including a SportsCenter Top 10 effort from Lee Nguyen to pound the hapless
Whitecaps 4-1 on Saturday.

(Editor's note: Prior to each Revolution match, New England Soccer Today will invite a
reporter who covers the Revolution's upcoming opponent to provide greater insight on what to expect
on gameday.
Martin Rennie may have found something in using Omar Salgado on the left wing.
Salgado had a hand in goals scored by Eric Hassli and Atiba Harris, as the Whitecaps cruised by
FC Edmonton 2-0 in the first leg of their Canadian championship semifinal tie Wednesday night.
Salgado cut down the left side and got to the end line before playing a ball back to Hassli at the
top of the box for the opening goal, and his chip hit off the post and right to Harris for the
second.
Omar Salgado is stuck.
There's no other way to describe the situation in which the first overall pick in the 2011 MLS
SuperDraft currently finds himself.
After the Vancouver Whitecaps acquired all sorts of attacking talent during the offseason to add
to an already full stable -- bringing in Sebastien Le Toux, drafting Darren Mattocks and signing
NASL golden boot winner Etienne Barbara -- it is no wonder that 18-year-old Salgado has yet to see
the field this season.

First the positives for the Union.
They kept their first clean sheet of 2012 and outside of two incisive runs from Sebastien Le
Toux, the Whitecaps had very little offense of which to speak. True they were without target man
Eric Hassli and midfield maestro Camilo Sanvezzo, but the Union's four man backline, finally
reunited, got the job done.

In drawing 0-0 with the Vancouver Whitecaps at PPL Park on Saturday night, the Union earned
their first point of the season, though they will lament a series of missed opportunities to take
the all three points in a tightly contested match. All the pregame chatter focused around the
return of former Union striker Sebastien Le Toux, especially as questions about who will score the
goals for the 2012 Union remain unanswered.
The chances of a red card at PPL Park on Saturday dropped drastically after news broke that Eric
Hassli did not make the traveling roster of the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Hassli recently suffered an ankle injury that left him questionable leading up to Saturday, but
the French striker has now be listed as officially out, according to both 1040 Team Radio and Marc
Weber.
Major League Soccer's opening week is in the books, and while a few team performances are what
stood out the most, there were some individual moments that deserve another look.
A few of the First Kick goals boasted quality right of the gates to help kick off MLS' 17th
season.
-Vancouver Whitecaps Won the Disney Cup last night over a reserve laden Toronto FC. A Vancouver
goal in the tenth minute by Camilo was enough to secure the trophy for the Caps with a 1-0 win.
Most of Toronto's first team were at home preparing for this week's CCL match.
-In Arizona a Galaxy squad, made up of mainly reserves, defeated New England in penalties 4-2 to
win the Desert Diamond Cup.
Hungry, forceful teensThis was what the whole Total Football revolution was all about. Just over a year since Aron Winter
and Co. took over Toronto FC, the club is in the finals of a prestigious rodent-based tournament.
So excited for tonight's final against Vancouver are Toronto FC that they packed up 99% of the
first team squad and came home to Hogtown yesterday.

The Vancouver Whitecaps begin their second year in MLS with a new head coach and a new sense of
promise.
Martin Rennie, who was hired midway through the 2011 season, has quickly sought to revamp a club
that finished at the bottom of the Western Conference last season.
The Cascadia Cup rivalry takes no games off, even in the preseason.
The Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps dueled to a 1-1 draw in a 120-minute scrimmage in
Casa Grande, Ariz., on Monday -- a game that included nine cautions and a red card. The game was
split into two 45-minute sessions and a 30-minute one, with each team using different lineups in
each period to take advantage of their expanded lists of trialists and rostered players.

The man responsible for the tumultuous offseason the Colorado Rapids endured is prolonging his
stay with the club.
Technical Director Paul Bravo signed a new three-year deal with the Rapids on Wednesday,
extending a stay that began in 2009.

With the news of Sebastien Le Toux joining the Vancouver Whitecaps on a trade today. It has to,
no, it must be pointed out exactly how stacked these Whitecaps are on offense.
Just look at these names currently on the roster (and in camp):
- Camilo
- Eric Hassli
- Atiba Harris
- Omar Salgado
- Darren Mattocks
- Davide Chiumiento
- Lee Nguyen
- Long Tan
- Sebastien Le Toux
- Etienne Barbara (not currently signed)
Holy smokes.

If Sebastien Le Toux makes an appearance at PPL Park this summer for his second MLS All-Star
Game, he won't be representing the home team. He'll be doing it as a member of the Vancouver
Whitecaps.
The Philadelphia Union officially announced that they have dealt Le Toux to the Whitecaps,
acquiring an undisclosed sum of allocation money in exchange for its leading scorer and 2010 MLS
All-Star.
Philadelphia Union fans have endured a roller coaster off-season, first with Sebastien LeToux's
trial at Bolton, then Monday's sudden departure of goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon. Now it appears that
after initially thinking LeToux would wind up staying with the Union, the French striker looks set
to depart.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Montreal Impact made Duke centerback Andrew Wenger the first selection
in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, taking the versatile, U.S. Under-23 defender with its first-ever draft
pick.
Wenger, the 2011 MAC Hermann Trophy winner, is the reigning ACC Offensive Player of the Year, a
year after he captured the conference's Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Recuperamos un artículo que se perdió en la nube de internet ie. los que publicamos anteriores
a enero de 2010. Estamos en un momento en el que el fútbol priman los resultados, ganar por encima
de todo, los intereses económicos acechan y los clubes exigen a los jugadores que sean
profesionales al cien por cien.

Todos amamos a los porteros que anotan goles, este miercoles en la liga colombiana se jugaba un
lugar por los mejores puestos en la tabla, el partido parecia se iria sin goles, pero Santa Fe
necesitaba urgentemente los tres puntos para poder clasificar a la post temporada, el portero
Camilo Vargas tuvo criticas durante el partido, pero se lanzo de manera dramatica a buscar el
remate de cabeza en el ultimo minuto del partido y de cabeza le dio la victoria a su equipo.
The mid-week games saw Dallas get back to their winning ways while Vancouver took down DC United.
Playoff hopes were diminished for both Eastern Conference teams. Here's Pedro Gomes with the
mid-week recap.
Chicago Fire 1, FC Dallas 2
Dallas traveled to Chi-Town looking to cement a place in the post-season against a recently
resurgent Chicago Fire squad who were looking to keep their play-off hopes alive.

On the outside looking in for a playoff spot to begin the night, the climb toward the MLS
postseason got a little steeper for D.C. United.
The Vancouver Whitecaps played spoiler Wednesday night at B.C. Place Stadium, holding on for a
2-1 victory thanks to strong defensive play for 56 minutes, another goal for leading scorer Camilo
and the first career MLS goal for forward Long Tan.
Real Salt Lake's Collen Warner was shown a straight red card for a handball in the 42nd minute,
with Vancouver's Camilo converting the resulting penalty. That opened the door for a Whitecaps rout
in front of 20,113 fans at BC Place. Camilo converted a second penalty in the 53rd minute, with
Nizar Khalfan scoring in the 88th.

Parking and seats on the SkyTrain were probably more difficult to come by than Vancouver
Whitecaps' goals Thursday night in downtown Vancouver.
With the NHL Canucks playing nearby in their regular-season opener, the Whitecaps still drew a
big crowd of 20,113 fans to their brand new home, B.
The best photo from a blurry batch of cell-phone pictures. I'm glad to say that I was lucky enough
to be able to go to Empire Field's last Vancouver Whitecaps game against the Seattle Sounders. When
I go see matches live, I'm usually too engrossed in the action and swept up by the atmosphere to be
able to properly focus on what I'm going to write later in the match report.

Camilo 22´ (1-0), EVANS 33´p. (1-1), MONTERO 63´(1-2), 67´(1-3). El Rey Cascadia tiene nombre,
se llama Fredy MONTERO. Sus cuatro goles en el Derbi Noroeste, dos contra el Portland Timbers en
Junio y otro par esta noche ante el Vancouver Whitecaps le han dado al Seattle Sounders FC su
primer Cascadia Cup -de la era [.
Keane's well placed header Preparing myself mentally to watch the Whitecaps is a long experience,
especially when they're facing the top of the table LA Galaxy, at the Home Depot Center, where the
Galaxy have yet to lose. Yet as the match kicked off, the Caps seemed organized, hardworking, and
ready to create a few attacking opportunities of their own.

The New York Red Bulls couldn't muster more than a point against the last place Vancouver
Whitecaps in a virtual must-win.
Down a goal and a man, Juan Agudelo came to the rescue with a crucial goal in the 68th minute.
Rafa Marquez played a long 30-yard cross into the box that found a streaking Agudelo.

After returning from my lengthy vacation, it took me some time to get back into my usual rhythm
regarding the Whitecaps. The game against Portland is the first game I've seen for about six solid
weeks, and I can't say I saw any improvements in my Whitecaps.
Like usual I got home late and turned on the TV with the game already started.

The Portland Timbers have become known as the MLS team that doesn't know how to hold leads, that
lets advantages on the scoreboard slip away as its defense falters and its offense stagnates.
It has happened too many times already in this inaugural season for fans of the Timbers.

D.C. United's rookie crop has turned in quite the season.
This past weekend it was goalkeeper Joe Willis' turn to answer the call, as he stepped in for
the suspended Bill Hamid and delivered some top-notch saves against the Vancouver Whitecaps en
route to a clean sheet in his MLS debut and earned SBI MLS Rookie of the Week honors.
