PORTLAND, Ore.
http://www.uachaussuresoldes.fr/pas-cher-under-armour-outlet-france/pas-cher-ua-speedform.html . -- Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Russell Teibert showed his class Monday
night in a 45-minute outing in the inaugural Chipotle Homegrown Game. The game
against the Portland Timbers under-23 team ended in a 0-0 draw on a warm, muggy
night before an enthusiastic but less than full Providence Park. Teibert, who
signed a multi-year deal last month to extend his time with the Whitecaps,
demonstrated his vision and creativity for a Homegrown squad featuring young
talent who have come up the ranks of MLS clubs. The Canadian international roved
across midfield, starting on the left before expanding his domain and triggered
many of the Homegrown attacks. The 21-year-old from Niagara Falls, Ont.,
demanded the ball and often played conductor, telling his teammates where he
wanted them to be. "I enjoyed it and I think its a milestone to be a part of,"
Teibert said later. "And not only in the sense that its the first Homegrown game
but it represents a pathway for all younger players in North American to strive
for and be part of. And that is the MLS youth teams, residency teams and
developmental teams." Will Trapp of the Columbus Crew replaced Teibert at
halftime with the score 0-0 as the Homegrown side rang in the changes. Teibert
may have been sacrificed with an eye to Vancouvers game Sunday away to Sporting
Kansas City Toronto FC left back Ashtone Morgan was the most experienced of the
Homegrown squad, with Teibert close behind. Morgan, 23, has made 67 league
appearances for Toronto but has seen just one minute of league play this season
as he sits behind veteran Justin Morrow. Teibert has made 55 league appearances
for the Whitecaps including 11 this season. The two are friends and spent time
together with the Toronto academy before Teibert headed west in 2008 to join the
Whitecaps residency program. Teibert delivered a fine cross in the fourth minute
but Chivas USA forward Caleb Calvert failed to get a foot to it. Another
laser-like cross produced a corner in the 16th minute as a defender just managed
to deflect it away. Teibert also put a long-distance shot on goal in between,
producing a save from Portland goalie Justin Luthy. James Moberg hit the post
for the young Timbers in the 10th minute. Portland midfielder Fatai Alashe came
close with a header off a corner in the 38th but was off-target. Homegrown
keeper Matt Lampson of the Columbus Crew stopped Kharlton Belmar from in-close
soon after when Miguel Aguilar unlocked the defence with a fine pass. Teibert
combined well with Morgan late in the first half, with the Toronto fullback
producing a diving save from Luthy to parry a Morgan cross. "Whenever I play
with Ash, its always fun," said Teibert. "I wish we could play together more.
But any time we do get the opportunity, we do seems to click. Credit to him. Hes
a great fullback and I hope he gets more time this season because he definitely
deserves it." "We just get each other," added Morgan. Teibert had four of the
Homegrown teams shots in the first half. The game opened up in the second half
with more scoring chances for both sides -- with one glorious opportunity apiece
in stoppage time. Morgan exited late in the second half after going down with
leg cramps battling two defenders on a run down the wing. He left with a smile.
"It was good," he said. "I was surrounded by great players. We just started
moving the ball, 1/8possessed the ball. I felt good out there. It felt real good
to be back on the pitch." Homegrown goalie Jon Kempin of Sporting Kansas City,
who came on to start the second half, won man of the match honours. All MLS
clubs were asked to nominate eligible players for the game. Based on
availability, injuries and other criteria, the final 20 were selected in
consultation with MLS director of player programs who will coach the team. Under
the leagues homegrown policy, clubs can sign a player to his first pro contract
without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has trained for at
least one year in the clubs youth development program and has trained 80 days
with the academy during that year. The issue of homegrown versus the college
route was raised earlier in the day when MLS all-star Thierry Henry was asked
about his preference for developing youth. "How you improve and how you progress
is hours and repetition and work," said the former French international, now
with the New York Red Bulls. The 36-year-old Henry said college players may
emerge at a disadvantage compared to those who went another route. "For example,
a kid in Europe will be training every day since hes 13 years old. So that
amount of time that youre losing is huge." MLS all-star coach Caleb Porter, a
former University of Akron coach who is in charge of the Portland Timbers,
agreed. "The sooner you can get kids in a high-level environment thats as close
to being professional as possible. The more time you get in that environment,
the more you develop players." Porter said adding more training and matches to
the collegiate game would help that side of the development ladder "I agree with
Thierry. Kids coming into the pros at 23, 23 years old, its tough."

his final regular-season Subway Series game in the eighth inning. Jeter watched
the last four outs from the bench, pulled off the field during a double switch
Thursday night as the Yankees held off the Mets 1-0.
Basket Under Armour Homme . The 19-year-old from Westmount, Que., was edged 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-3 by third-seeded Alize Cornet
of France. Cornet broke Bouchard twice in the last set and saved six break
points in the three-hour match. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Marcus Paige and his North
Carolina teammates have endured so many wild swings -- big wins, surprising
losses, NCAA drama -- that no one can blame their Hall of Fame coach for
wondering whats next. And yet, a month after sitting at 0-3 in the Atlantic
Coast Conference, the Tar Heels are surging after a rousing comeback against
their fiercest rival that had their fans rushing to midcourt to celebrate when
it was over. Paige scored all 13 of his points in the second half, including two
big baskets in the final 2 1/2 minutes, to help UNC beat No. 5 Duke 74-66 on
Thursday night for their eighth straight win. Senior Leslie McDonald added a
season-high 21 points for the Tar Heels (19-7, 9-4 ACC), who rallied from 11
points down in the second half to beat the Blue Devils (21-6, 10-4) in a rivalry
game postponed more than a week by a winter storm. It was by far North Carolinas
most impressive win during its run. Before Thursday, most had come against teams
standing sixth or lower in the ACC standings. "Im not going to say were a
finished product because weve got games left," Paige said, "but man, were
playing really well right now and were winning games in a lot of different
ways." It marked UNCs third win against a top-five team this season, along
then-No. 1 Michigan State and then-No. 3 Louisville. Throw in then-No. 11
Kentucky in December, and the Tar Heels have beaten the top four teams from The
Associated Press preseason Top 25. Not bad for a team that never had top player
P.J. Hairston due to NCAA violations for improper benefits. "It was a bunch of
guys that fought really hard," coach Roy Williams said, "and I couldnt be
prouder of my team than I am right now." After filling the entire court after
the horn, thousands of fans mobbed Franklin Street on the north end of campus to
continue a celebration that came eight days later than they had hoped due to
last weeks winter storm. The storm brought enough snow and ice to paralyze area
roads and kept Dukes bus from even making it to Durham to pick up the team for
the 11-mile drive to the Smith Center in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels made it
worth the wait for their fans by being tough enough to wrestle control from the
Blue Devils. They shot 50 per cent from the field after halftime and even made
theeir last 10 free throws after a disastrous start at the line.
Nike Air Max 95 Solde. . Jabari Parker and Quinn Cook both scored 17 points for Duke, which led 51-40 with about 15 minutes
left before going ice cold from the field. The Blue Devils missed 13 straight
shots and went scoreless for 6 minutes at one point, helping the Tar Heels climb
back in it by mixing a 1-3-1 zone with man defence. "They would just keep
switching," Cook said. "Wed come down, and we wouldnt know what theyd be in.
They kept us on our toes with their defence." Duke shot 36 per cent (11 for 31)
after halftime and made 5 of 22 3-pointers for the game, Coach Mike Krzyzewski
said he thought his team "played young" in the second half. "We looked tired or
we didnt have life," Krzyzewski said. "And no matter what we did in a timeout,
we just didnt have that spark -- the anger, the emotion, the thing you have to
have to match what their crowd, their team is doing. You have to try to counter
that. And I just felt we were, we didnt have the life that you needed to have."
Paige provided plenty of that fight for the Tar Heels. After being hounded by
Duke defenders Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon through his scoreless first half, he
scored nine points in the final 5 1/2 minutes starting with his only 3-pointer
of the night. McDonald hit the go-ahead jumper to make it 62-60 with 3:54 left,
capping his own strong performance after two straight 1-for-8 shooting
performances. Paige followed with a stepback jumper over Rodney Hood with 2:11
left, then answered Parkers free throws by driving for a scooping layup through
the heart of Dukes defence. After Sulaimon missed a 3 on the ensuing possession,
freshman Nate Britt followed with two free throws that pushed the lead to 68-62
with 46.2 seconds left and soon had the rowdy home crowd inching closer to the
court. It marked the 11th time Paige has scored in double figures in the second
half this season after scoring four or fewer in the first. The postponement
created a four-games-in-eight-days stretch for both teams, though its
particularly challenging for Duke with No. 1 Syracuse visiting Cameron Indoor
Stadium on Saturday night in a rematch of the overtime classic won by the Orange
earlier this month. UNC hosts Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon.
