There was something a tad naive about the voracity with which Toronto FC fans greeted the final whistle Wednesday night, as their team triumphed 2-1 over the Whitecaps. Hector Moreno Mexico Jersey . If it was just an MLS regular season game, the reaction might have been warranted. Jermaine Defoe and Michael Bradley, Torontos two superstars scored on either side of half-time in top dollar fashion... with cool, composed precision. On any other day, that would have been three points with the two highest profile players justifying their worth. But this was not just a game, this was the first leg of two-game total goals series, in which away goals count as the first tiebreaker. And Torontos opponent wasnt a full-fledged MLS experienced squad, it was a team of kids including three 17-year-olds. A 19-year-old (Kekuta Manneh) came off the bench and bagged a critical goal in second half stoppage time, that puts the Whitecaps in pretty good shape heading home for that second leg next Wednesday at BC Place (7:30pm pt). It was a Whitecaps team that averaged just over 22 years of age, or about five years younger per player than those in red. The average salary per player, well... that was about a 15-1 difference favouring TFC on the night. And so the context of Wednesdays win should have garnered a different reaction from the home faithful. They should have been annoyed that TFC didnt capitalize on some of its gilt-edged chances in the first half, which might have seen a much wider scoreline at the break. And they should have been devastated at conceding a goal in the dying embers of the second half, having just been put in a great 2-0 position by Michael Bradleys marauding run and clinical finish minutes before. And all of that occurring at home, against a team that is still learning how to shave! The combatants Wednesday gave us an interesting illustration of two entirely different approaches to building a club. I, for one, have absolutely no problem with a team in Canada executing arguably the biggest off-season double swoop in MLS history. Its a top-down approach which has (its early, yes) seemingly paid off already. Interest has been renewed along with many season tickets, in a market that has been exceedingly tolerant of rebuilds. But theres a temporary feeling to that philosophy, much like BMO field itself. Built for today, not for tomorrow. (That, by the way, will change upon approval of an ambitious $100 million redesign to TFCs home.) To use a Mothers Day example, is it better to give Mom a beautiful store-bought bouquet or pick the ones you grew in your garden? If Moms happy either way, does the method matter? The Whitecaps are committed to growing their own. Perhaps thats the reason for so much enthusiasm in Vancouver right now; the sense of sustainability from a foundation built on youth. The tangible potential was there for everyone to see, even though the end product wasnt. Time will tell which supporters will be cheering the loudest on final whistles to come as two Canadian clubs chart their courses into the future. But I get the feeling after Wednesday, Whitecaps fans are pretty optimistic about the ship theyre sailing on. Marco Fabian Jersey . Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon. Jesus Manuel Corona Jersey . Ibrahimovic put PSG ahead when he got in front of his marker to neatly flick in Lucass cross in the 59th minute. New signing Yohan Cabaye came on as a second-half substitute and headed Ezequiel Lavezzis cross against the post in the 87th. Moments later, Lucas set up another goal from the right when fellow countryman Alex turned in his corner with a strikers finish. http://www.nationalsoccermexico.com/hector-moreno-mexico-jersey/ . Authorities in Medina, Minn., released the details one day after Cunningham was jailed for another alleged incident with the woman he had been living with for the previous eight months. Cunningham had already been charged with felony domestic assault for allegedly choking the woman last week.SYDNEY - South Korea kicks off its bid for its first Asian Cup title since 1960 with a Group A match against Oman in Canberra, the Australian capital. Its one of three group matches across three cities on Saturday, with China against Saudi Arabia in Brisbane and Uzbekistan taking on North Korea in Sydney.___SOUTH KOREA vs. OMAN: The message from East Asian champion South Korea is that three points are crucial, particularly with a last group game coming against host Australia, one of the favourites to win the trophy.Since a dreadful World Cup when it collected just one point, South Koreas performances under new coach Uli Stielike have been encouraging and they completed preparations with a 2-0 win in a friendly against Saudi Arabia on Sunday.We know what this tournament means and the players and the coach will all do our best to win, said star midfielder Ki Seung-yeung, who plays Swansea City in the Premier League. We know what we have to do and its time to show that.Among the selection dilemmas for Stielike are whether to stick with World Cup goalkeeper Jung Seung-ryong or use Kim Jin-hyun, and if he should use Cho Yong-cheol in the problematic central stiker role after he grabbed his first international goal against Saudi Arabia.Left-sided attacker Son Heung-min, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen, is fit and in excellent form. The 22-year-old Son, with 11 goals already for this season for the German club, will be a real threat to Oman.Making matters worse for Oman is the loss of experienced right-back Saeed Suhail to injury in a warm-up game with China in Sydney earlier in the week which they lost 4-1.Oman, aiming to progress from the group stage of the Asian Cup for the first time, arrived in Australia on the back of an encouraging performance at the Gulf Cup, where it reached the semifinals.Coacch Paul Le Guen, formerly of Lyon, Paris St. Jose de Jesus Corona Jersey. Germain and Glasgow Rangers, said I have faith in my boys. They can deliver.___UZBEKISTAN vs. NORTH KOREA: Uzbekistan, which reached the quarterfinals in 2004 and 2007 and the semifinals in the previous tournament, is aiming to continue that upward progress in Australia.We have a good balance in our squad, Uzbekistan captain Server Djeparov told The Associated Press. We just missed out on the World Cup and that was hard to take, but now we will do our best to have success at the Asian Cup.The North Korea squad has kept its standard low profile since arriving in Australia, keeping public appearances to a minimum. This tournament may come a little too soon for a young team, despite its unbeaten run in its past 14 competitive matches, excluding friendlies.North Korea — most famous for reaching the 1966 World Cup semifinals — has not advanced beyond the group stage in its past two Asian Cup appearances in 1992 and 2011.___CHINA vs. SAUDI ARABIA: Both nations are looking to translate their off-field wealth and influence into on-field success, with progress to the knockout stages being the bare minimum pass mark.Neither managed that in 2011; the second successive early exit for China.China coach Alain Perrin has been in charge since last February and after a slow start has been coaxing encouraging performances out of a young team, including the friendly win over Oman.We are not the favourite, we do not have the best chance, Perrin said. What I know is that the players are ready to give the best they can ... anything is possible.The Saudis have reached the semifinals in four of the past six Asian Cup tournaments, but have only lifted the trophy once from those four trips. The Saudi squad lost all three group games at Qatar 2011.
