| TORONTO -- How young will Vancouvers starting lineup be Wednesday for the first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal against Toronto FC? "Younger than young," Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson said with a smile. "Because my first-team squad is young anyway so its a little bit younger than that. "I want to give the opportunity to some of the younger players Ive got in my squad to see how close they are to being ready. Theyve got great, fantastic ability but the only way they can learn is by challenging them in certain game situations and I think (Wednesday) is a perfect example for them to get given the opportunity. "Ive got 100 per cent faith in them." FC Edmonton hosts the defending champion Montreal Impact in the other first-leg semifinal Wednesday. Edmonton advanced by dispatching Ottawa Fury FC 3-1 on aggregate in a battle of North American Soccer League teams. Theres likely more than national pride at stake for Vancouver in showcasing the young Canadians. The Whitecaps (3-2-4) are coming off a 3-2 home win over the San Jose Earthquakes. Facing a game in Columbus on Saturday, it makes sense to rest some starters with three games in a week. So Robinson, who brought 26 players on the road trip, plans to give Canadian youth a chance with starts for 17-year-old goalkeeper Marco Carducci and 20-year-old midfielder Bryce Alderson. Midfielder Russell Teibert, a 21-year-old who already has 46 MLS appearances under his belt, will also start and Robinson is expected to have other young Canadian talent such as teenage midfielders Marco Bustos and Kianz Froese, in his matchday 18. Carducci, who has twice been named Canadian Under-17 Player of the Year, starts ahead of No. 2 keeper Paolo Tornaghi. "Im going to be very excited," Carducci said Tuesday when asked what his emotions will be come kickoff. Robinson speaks glowingly about his young keeper, a Calgary native who played for Canada at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. "Hes brilliant," said the former Welsh international, praising his commitment, work ethic and temperament. Alderson is also bubbling with excitement. "Its huge," said Alderson, who captained Canada at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup and has played for the Olympic team in qualifying. A native of Kitchener, Ont., he grew up supporting Toronto FC. Now he is trying to find tickets for family and friends to see him play against them at BMO Field. Its also a home showcase for Teibert, a native of Niagara Falls, Ont., and former member of the Toronto FC Academy. "It means a lot," he said. "Its a Canadian championship and we havent been the best team in Canada just yet. Hopefully this is the year." Robinson plans to save his starting centre backs Jay DeMerit and Andy OBrien for Saturdays game in Columbus. Johnny Leveron and Carlyle Mitchell, who have deputized for the two veterans before, will likely take over Wednesday. The Whitecaps also recalled striker Omar Salgado from the Charleston Battery of USL Pro on Tuesday. Salgado will be available for Wednesdays game. Toronto has the weekend off so is facing less of a short-term fixture crunch. And given it is only now returning to a full roster after a slew of injuries, the chance to give the first team more time to play together is welcome. Still manager Ryan Nelsen plans to give goalie Joe Bendik his first start of the season, opting to rest Brazilian No. 1 Julio Cesar. That opens the door for Bendik, who started 33 games for Toronto last season before losing his job to Cesar this year. Midfielder Jeremy Hall (Achilles) is out while defender Bradley Orr (calf) and midfielder Jonathan Osorio (charley horse) are doubtful. Nelsen says designated players Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley and Gilberto will "most likely" see action. "Theyre all desperate to play," he said. Defoe and Bradley have both missed time due to injury so still are finding their legs, the manager said. And while Brazilian striker Gilberto has yet to score, he is threatening in front of goal. "In all honesty, they do need games," Nelsen said. The Toronto manager also pointed out matter-of-factly that he tends to starts a lot of his young Canadians week in and out, with defender Doneil Henry and midfielders Osorio and Kyle Bekker as Exhibits A, B and C in recent weeks. Toronto (3-4-0) dropped its third straight game when it lost 2-1 to visiting New England on the weekend. Nelsens team, which has had widespread injury problems, has lost four of the last five. Montreal captured the inaugural Canadian championship in 2008. Toronto won it the next four years before the Impact claimed it again last year. Vancouver has finished runners-up five straight years. The winner hoists the Voyageurs Cup, donated by the Voyageurs Canadian supporters group, and earns a berth in the CONCACAF Champions League, a 24-team competition featuring clubs from North and Central America and the Caribbean. The CONCACAF Champions League winner advances to the FIFA Club World Cup. Scarpe Air Jordan 1 Scontate . Still, Inter moved one point ahead of Parma in the race for fifth place and the final Europa League spot. Udinese remained 14th, 11 points above the relegation zone. Inter was beaten 2-1 by Atalanta at home on Sunday and has won only seven of 16 matches at the San Siro this season, as the squad seems to still be searching for its identity under new owner Erick Thohir and first-year manager Walter Mazzarri.

Air Jordan 1 Italia .com) - The Winnipeg Jets got over one hurdle by snapping their longest losing streak of the season. Air Jordan 1 Offerta . The Thunder earned the Game 1 win with a 100-86 victory Saturday night. Oklahoma City dominated the first half and led by 22 at the break, but saw its lead shrink to just two points in the fourth quarter.Daniel Ricciardo believes he deserves a serious chance to compete for the Formula 1 world title. The Red Bull driver also claims his hunger to become world champion is greater than some other drivers currently on the grid.There are a lot of drivers here on the grid, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes, or take the risk, to really fight for the top, Ricciardo told Sky Sports F1. Some are just happy to be here, which is fair enough, but my desire goes beyond that and Im ready to take the next step. Marc Priestley and Mark Blundell discuss where they would rank Daniel Ricciardo on the Formula One grid. Ricciardo returns to action at the Canadian GP this weekend for the first time since the disappointment of losing a likely victory at F1s showpiece Monaco GP to Mercedes Lewis Hamilton after Red Bull made a mistake with tyres at his final pit stop.Amid simmering frustration after the race two weeks ago, he told Sky Sports News HQ I should be getting more rewarded for his performances. Ricciardo last won a race in 2014.The Australian was asked about his comments on Thursday in Montreal and reiterated his desire to fight for the sports top prize.I feel I deserve a chance to fight for a title now, he said ahead of his 95th grand prix weekend.I feel that, I believe it. I feel Im doing everything I can. Watch Sky F1 on NOW TV Watch the Canadian Grand Prix, live only on Sky F1. You can also watch on NOW TV for ￡6.99 The 26-year-old admitted he needed a few days to cool off from the frustration of Monaco before speaking on the phone to his race engineer and team boss Christian Horner and has now moved on from the disappointment.Red Bull have promised to implement robust procedures to avoid a repeat of the communication mix-up. Ricciardo has welcomed the teams response to the blunder, although explained his post-race frustration had already been building up before the teams race-losing error.ddddddddddddIt was definitely a combination of a lot of things, he explained.Is Ricciardo in F1s top three?I was already quite frustrated after the first pit stop and then seeing Lewis go with the wets and do one less pit stop than us. I was already thinking the race was lost behind him, in a way. So that was the first one and then the second pit stop compounded everything.Then I guess it happened two weeks in a row and Monaco, we know how important track position is so it didnt matter if we had a soft or a supersoft. If we came out ahead of Lewis 99 per cent of time youre going to stay ahead of him no matter what the compound is.Ricciardo sits behind only Mercedes pair Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in the Drivers Championship, but feels he would have won the last two races in Spain and Monaco had team decisions and strategy proved more favourable. The Australians three race wins from 2014 - the first of which came in Montreal - remain the only ones of his six-season F1 career and Ricciardo added: There have guys who have been here a long time, for sure, but I came into the team when they were the best and unfortunately when I joined they were no longer the best.We have gone a few years and we havent had that many opportunities, but in 2014 when they arose I felt like I took them. Then this year weve had a few and havent been able to maximise it.Mark Hughes: Ricciardo is driver of the season so farNonetheless, despite a series of missed opportunities, Ricciardo insisted a wedge had not been driven between himself and the team.For a few days I was upset and rueing some missed opportunities, but its one of those things that happens. Its unfortunate it happened back to back [with Spain], that expanded the feelings and emotions a lot more. But Ive moved on, he said.Ive still obviously got a lot of faith in the team and I dont doubt things with them moving forward. For me, its really important this weekend to execute a perfect weekend from my side and the teams side to get back on track.
