Canadian gem could be TFC's
By GARETH WHEELER (gareth.wheeler@suntv.canoe.ca)

O'Brian White isn't nervous or anxious -- he's curious.
All cards have been thrown on the table for the striker from Scarborough ahead of Thursday's MLS SuperDraft.
A projected top pick just a year ago, White's professional ambitions took a hit, tearing his ACL in October after he decided to return for a senior year at the University of Connecticut.
So White, who won the M.A.C. Hermann Award as the NCAA's top soccer player just a year ago, isn't sure what's going to happen Thursday.
Will he be drafted early or will he be drafted at all?

Mornin D. The more I read about the upcoming draft the more I like the various interesting storylines and intrigue.

O and I agree with your assessment of the SSG.

Do you think anyone ought to point out to Wheeler that White considers himself more Jamaican than Canadian, and is likely to play for Jamaica internationally?

ROME -- David Beckham was given a surprise start in his AC Milan debut against AS Roma yesterday and played 89 minutes, contributing a solid -- if not outstanding -- performance in a 2-2 draw.
"I felt good in the game, very strong and I enjoyed it," Beckham said. "I enjoyed playing with these players and in this city. We played some good football."

Morning D! I think we will land White, injury or not. He has the talent that we need and really the draft isn't the place for guys that are superstars already. I would be happy if Mo grabed White with any pick. I think the most interesting part of draft day will be the transactions between the teams. That is where we can make our headway.

White has already been capped for Jamaica at the youth level. I'm not even sure he's eligible to switch national teams at this point - he's over 21, but has he been capped since he hit 21?

SSG looks like she finished third place in a shovel fight.

At least she isn't coated in as much bronze as some of last week's SSGs.:eek:

I'm beginning to question that myself. I mean have we run out of women in this city? There are more then enough good looking female TFC supporters to fill the pages of the Sun, start there!:hump:

My comment was meant to be a pun on your post - Third Place = Bronze Medal.;)

hahah there were no medals awarded to anyone but first place.
The rest of the competition all looked like this at the end. No reward for that hah.
