VANCOUVER -- Vancouver Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie is known for stressing the
positive, but he was unusually blunt Saturday.
Chad Henne Jersey . Aside from goalkeeper
David Ousted, Rennie spared no players his wrath after the Whitecps dropped a
1-0 decision to a Real Salt Lake squad, which fielded mostly a second-team
lineup, before a sellout crowd of 21,000 at B.C. Place Stadium. "I dont think
anyone played well today, apart from Ousted," said Rennie. "It was just a
terrible performance from everyone." Devon Sandovals goal in the ninth minute
was the only one that RSL needed. RSL improved to 15-10-6 and gained a share of
first place in the Western Conference while ending a losing skid at two games.
RSL coach Jason Kreis went with 10 new additions to his starting lineup as he
rested key players in preparation for Tuesdays U.S. Open Cup final against D.C.
United. The winner of that game will qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League.
The Whitecaps (11-11-8) saw their playoff hopes fade some more as they remain
four points back of fifth-place Colorado with only four games remaining. Only
the top five teams qualify for the post-season. "(It was a) thoroughly
disappointing game for us," said Rennie. "Weve had hardly any like that at B.C.
Place this season. But for the third game in a row, we started the game badly,
which is really frustrating. Its something that weve worked on and focused (on)
and made sure we were ready to go. "It wasnt a bad goal. It was a great cross
and a good header, but its something we should have defended better." The
Whitecaps could have also played much better offensively in the coachs view.
Camilo drew into Vancouvers starting lineup after scoring two goals in a
second-half substitute role a week earlier in Montreal. Whitecaps striker Kenny
Miller missed the game a groin injury. As a result, Tommy Heinemann took his
place after impressing in a win over Montreal. Heinemann, rarely used for most
of the season, made his second consecutive, and third overall, start. Before
last week, he had not started since April 20. Heinemann was dangerous at times
but he and Camilo showed little chemistry and midfielders did not link up well
with forwards. Rennie tried to inject speed in the second half as he subbed off
Heinemann and Gershon Koffie for Kekuta Manneh and Darren Mattocks, respectively
in the 54th minute. But the changes had little effect. "We put ourselves in a
bad spot to start with, and then I just thought out (offensive) quality was
really poor," said Rennie. "I didnt think we got good balls into the box. We
didnt really connect any crosses. Our passing in the final third was poor today,
and it was a disappointing performance, especially given how well wed played in
our last two games." Rennie credited RSL, contending, rather charitably, that it
was the best performance by a visiting team at B.C. Place this season. He
insisted that his club did not take RSLs subs-turned-starters lightly. "If it
hadnt been for saves that David (Ousted) made, it could have been worse for us
today," said Rennie. "Im scratching my head as to the way that we performed."
RSLs absentees included starting goalkeeper Nick Rimando and midfield stalwart
Kyle Beckerman. Backup goalkeeper Jeff Attinella, who had not played since
August 19 in Portland, registered his first shutout of the season while getting
credit for just one save. "It was fun, as a group that doesnt get to play a
lot," said Attinella. "But we have a lot of talented players and, really, a team
with lot of MLS experience still on the field. "So to come out here and get a
result, and kind of right the ship for our team a little bit, and then with
Tuesdays U.S. Open Cup (final), hopefully, the momentum carries into Tuesday."
Crediting his teams effort, Attinella did not feel overly tested, but said the
Whitecaps still "pretty well" and kept him busy with crosses that defenders
played well. "We got the early goal, which was huge for us to get off to a fast
start," said Attinella. "And then to hold that lead on the road, on a turf field
against a team that runs its own numbers forward, I couldnt be happier." RSLs
lineup changes paid off early as Sandoval bounced a header past Ousted. It was
the third goal of the season for Sandoval, who put in a cross from Lovel Palmer
on a counter-attack after the Whitecaps had controlled the run of play in the
early going. Ousted appeared to be in good position for a save if Sandoval had
put his header in the air instead of sending the ball down. But Ousted still
chastised himself for allowing the goal. "I think I should have come across and
tried to take the (crossed) ball in the air," he said. "Maybe I get there. Maybe
I dont. But (I) at least try to take the header away from him. Im not happy with
that goal and Im not happy with my own performance on that goal." Like Rennie,
the goalkeeper, who joined the Whitecaps in mid-season from his native Denmark
after signing as a free agent, was at a loss to explain his clubs poor effort.
He felt the Caps should have done better early and created more scoring chances.
"Its an important stage of the season," said Ousted. "We should be able to come
out and perform better and be more hungry for each ball and each goal. But we
werent there today." He made sensational saves on Yordany Alvarez in the 61st
minute, when he lunged to get his hand on the ball, foiled Sebastian Velasquez
by diving and catching the ball in his mid-section in the 68th and then getting
his body an Olmes Garcia shot from the right side of the area a little while
later. But Ousted was not willing to accept praise from Rennie or anybody else.
"Were here as a team," said Ousted. "So when youre talking about the team, youre
talking about 11 of us (on the field), and Im in there. Im not happy with the
way we performed -- myself included. We should have done better, especially in
this part of the season." "Weve put ourselves in a difficult spot when we go
forward," said Rennie. "But weve still got plenty of time to get the wins that
we need." Notes--Whitecaps winger Omar Salgado has resumed training after
recovering from a broken foot, but he is not expected to play again this season.

. Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal
race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top
time in Thursdays opening training session.NEW YORK -- Entering a big league
ballpark will be a bit like going through an airport by 2015. Major League
Baseball has told its 30 teams they must implement security screening for fans
by then, either with hand-held metal detection or walk-through magnetometers.
"This procedure, which results from MLBs continuing work with the Department of
Homeland Security to standardize security practices across the game, will be in
addition to bag checks that are now uniform throughout MLB," baseball spokesman
Michael Teevan said Tuesday. The Seattle Mariners announced Tuesday that fans
entering Safeco Field will have to walk through metal detectors starting with
this years opener. Boston, the New York Mets, Oakland, Pittsburgh and San
Francisco were among the teams that experimented with screening at times last
year. Security gained more intense focus after three people were killed and more
than 260 wounded in when two bombs were set off at the Boston Marathon finish
line.
Allen Hurns Jaguars Jersey. "We conducted
testing of these measures at the All-Star game and at both World Series venues
last year, and we were pleased that it was effective and received without issue
from fans," Teevan said. MLB is being assisted by CEIA USA Ltd., which
manufactures walk-through metal detectors, and the security company GSIS. Big
league teams have generally limited bags that fans bring to 16 inches by 16
inches by 8 inches. In an effort to increase security this season, the NFL
limited the size and type of bags fans can bring to games. With the exception of
medically necessary items, only clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags no larger than
12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches have been allowed. One-gallon clear plastic
freezer bags also were permitted along with clear plastic bags approximately the
size of someones hand.
