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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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 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.
-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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
