Cummins happy with Guevara recognition
Player of the Week award 'well deserved' for midfielder
Toronto FC Head Coach Chris Cummins believes Amado Guevara's MLS Player of the Week award is well deserved recognition for the contribution the Honduran midfielder is making to the team. Guevara scooped the award after scoring two goals in Toronto's 3-1 win against New England at BMO Field on Saturday.
"All of the lads congratulated him this morning," said Cummins. "We are rewriting the record books because it was our first win against New England at the weekend and now we have our first MLS Player of the Week award."

De Rosario in the zone for Toronto

Sweeping up after the MLS weekend party, here are a few things I found lying around:
1. Word to MLS -- here comes De Ro: Once a season or so, Dwayne De Rosario (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/profile?id=36402) finds the sweet spot.
And when De Ro finds his groove, everyone in the house needs to drop the soda or brat and pay attention every time he gets possession. When his confidence soars, exciting and special things happen.

An athlete gets in trouble by using Twitter: The Rohan Ricketts edition
Eric Koreen
Once more, an athlete might be regretting signing up for a fully viewable Twitter account. This time around, the social networking Web site has created a bit of trouble for Toronto FC midfielder Rohan Ricketts.
Whether he was at the keyboard for some of the controversial posts or not — that point is up for debate — his account (http://twitter.com/rohanricketts)has fueled some talk that perhaps Ricketts' time in Toronto is coming to an end.

Put me in coach, please
With playing time so competitive, TFC's Ricketts irked with benchwarmer role
LANCE HORNBY (lance.hornby@sunmedia.ca)
Toronto FC's on-field success means players off the pitch must be getting antsy about watching.
It appears Rohan Ricketts is in that group after reports of a Twitter posting expressing his desire to get off the bench, lest he grow stale. His playing time has decreased since Chris Cummins became head coach last month.
"What's Twitter?," Cummins asked playfully yesterday. "Whatever was on there, I don't read it anyway. I had never heard of it until I came in this morning.

Reds teammates to face off as Honduras, US meet
Guevera, Honduras visit Wynne, United States June 6 in Chicago
TORONTO -- Honduras' run to the final round of CONCACAF 2010 World Cup qualifying hasn't just put Amado Guevara closer to his lifelong ambition of playing on soccer's greatest stage. It has also given him the chance to square off against several of his Toronto FC teammates. Guevara faced Jim Brennan, Kevin Harmse and (then-FC Dallas member) Adrian Serioux when Honduras played Canada in the third qualifying round last fall. The two Honduras-Jamaica matches in the same round also gave Guevara the opportunity to play against former TFC center back Tyrone Marshall.

Whitecaps control fate vs. Impact
[U]THE CANADIAN PRESS
BURNABY, B.C. -- The Vancouver Whitecaps can gain control of their own destiny with a win over the Montreal Impact on Wednesday night in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship.
Securing the victory will be the Whitecaps' first priority, but goal differential and an upcoming rematch against Toronto FC will be in the back of the players' minds.
A win over Montreal (10:30 p.m. EST, Sportsnet), would give Vancouver six points in the six-game tournament, tying them with Toronto. That would set up a showdown when Toronto plays the Whitecaps at Swangard Stadium on Tuesday.
