New faces spell new results for TFC
Daniel Girard
CHARLESTON, S.C.–It's only two games, pre-season ones at that, but the new-look Toronto FC is giving fans a reason to believe this year could be different.
Led by off-season acquisitions Dwayne De Rosario and Pablo Vitti, TFC won 2-1 over D.C. United last night to move into position to capture the Carolina Challenge Cup.
"I think the team is coming together pretty nicely," said De Rosario, a Scarborough native and Major League Soccer star, picked up in a trade with Houston in December.

Rival coaches looking forward to test
Carver, Kreis have clubs playing well heading into Cup final
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Toronto FC coach John Carver wasn't joking when he said he wanted to win this year's Carolina Challenge Cup. Toronto FC, which went winless in the event a year ago, posted another strong performance Wednesday night in their 2-1 victory over D.C. United at Blackbaud Stadium.
Toronto FC will face unbeaten Real Salt Lake, a 2-1 winner over the USL First Division's Charleston Battery, for the tournament crown Saturday night. D.C. United will take on Charleston in a rematch of last year's U.S. Open Cup Final, in the second game of the doubleheader.

Canadian Press
MACOYA, Trinidad — Canada has been eliminated for the CONCACAF under-20 men's soccer championships, and denied a place in the world championship, after a 2-1 loss to Costa Rica in its final round-robin game Wednesday.
A win would have advanced Canada (1-2-0) to the quarter-finals of the North American championship and assured it of a berth at the under-20 World Cup for the fifth straight time.
