TORONTO - Toronto FC can use a boost as the Major League Soccer club makes its push for the post-season. Jay Bruce Jersey .Jermain Defoes presence would be very much welcomed by a team that has just two wins in its last eight games. His return could very well happen Saturday against the Los Angeles Galaxy.The star striker is expected to play in the critical road game. It would be his first appearance since going down with a groin injury six weeks ago.He looks good, hes into full training now and this is his second day of being into full training so hes just continuing the progression into match form, coach Greg Vanney said this week prior to the teams trip to LA. Hell be with us on the weekend and well see how much time we can get him ultimately.As a result of suspension and injuries, Defoe has been limited to 16 games but he still leads the team with 11 goals.Defoe left in the second half of a 2-2 draw with Chicago on Aug. 23 after aggravating the groin injury, which kept him out of action earlier that month. I think getting Jermain back is another boost of confidence for the group, Vanney said. Hes a player who doesnt need many chances to score goals. Hes very quick, hes shifty, hes very difficult to deal with. Hes one of our guys that you cant really just put one guy on him, if you put one guy around him, youre going to be in trouble.That forces two and three guys to pay attention to him, which then also frees up other players.In the last month and a half, Toronto (11-11-7) has gone from looking at the possibility of catching Sporting KC for top spot in the Eastern Conference to nearing must-win territory to qualify for the post-season.Since Aug. 16, Toronto is 2-4-2 and has dropped outside the playoff picture, trailing the fifth-place New York Red Bulls by a point.I do think if we win three matches, then we will get in just because of the way the league is set up, Vanney said of the final five games. All the Eastern Conference teams are sort of playing each other so nobody can take maximum points from each other. Everybody is beating somebody or theres draws and either way well take that as long as we win our games.I think if we get three wins, we essentially assure ourselves a spot. Well take more than that if given the opportunity. Well take some draws in there, but I think if we get nine (points), well be in good shape.Saturdays match begins a stretch of three games in a week for Toronto, which will play host to Houston next Wednesday before travelling to New York Oct. 11.A trip to Los Angeles also provides one last chance for Toronto defender Michael Bradley to square off against his countryman Landon Donovan. The Galaxy star has announced he will retire at the end of the MLS season.Hes done so much for the national team, for the Galaxy, for MLS a€” I think were all seeing even now what a good player he is and how he can still make such a difference in any team that hes on, Bradley said. Preparing for Saturday, we certainly understand thats part of us going there and getting a result is making the game very difficult for him.Toronto will look to build off back-to-back wins over Chivas USA and the Portland Timbers while the Galaxy are coming off a 4-0 victory over the Red Bulls on Sunday.L.A. (16-5-9) is tied for first place in the Western Conference with the Seattle Sounders at 57 points. Robbie Keane leads the team in goals (17) while Donovan leads the Galaxy with 18 assists.When you play against good teams, when you play against good teams away from home, its important that we a€” to start with a€” have the mentality that were going to make the game difficult for them, said Bradley. We know the way they play, as the game wears on things will open up and well have our chances.Its important to just be able to read the game and understand what it gives you.The two teams last met on March 30, 2013 playing to a 2-2 draw at BMO Field. Saturday marks the lone meeting of the season between the two sides.Toronto is 2-4-6 all-time against L.A.Note: Canada Soccer announced Friday that four members of Toronto FC have been added to the mens national team for the Oct. 14 friendly against Colombia. Goalkeeper Quillan Roberts, defender Doneil Henry, and midfielders Kyle Bekker and Manuel Aparicio were on coach Benito Floros 23-man roster. Jason Vargas Jersey .C. - Canadian ice dancing, it seems, is in good hands. Devin Mesoraco Jersey . According to TSN Edmonton reporter Ryan Rishaug, agent Rick Valette met with Oilers senior VP of hockey operations Scott Howson and general manager Craig MacTavish on Monday to kick off the talks. http://www.officialmetsfanstore.com/mets-tom-seaver-jersey/ . Interestingly, the culprits were not rookies, but well paid, experienced pros. The first gaffe came in the 24th minute of arguably the biggest early season MLS game in history between Seattle and Toronto. Sounder newcomer Marco Pappa, (with over 100 MLS games, and 39 Guatemalan Caps to his name) attempted a back pass to one of his central defenders.SEATTLE - Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh shook hands and went their separate ways, one headed toward the post-season and a possible No. 1 seed, the other dealing with the disappointment of missing the playoffs for the first time in his coaching career.Carroll and the Seahawks knocked San Francisco out of playoff contention with a 17-7 win on Sunday, ending the 49ers run of reaching the NFC championship game for three straight seasons and potentially bringing to a close the most heated rivalry in the NFC.Seattle (10-4) won for the fifth time in six games against the 49ers. Combined with Buffalos win over Green Bay earlier Sunday, the Seahawks moved into a position where a No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs is now possible.The Niners came out really going for it. They did a great job planning, Carroll said. They did a lot of new stuff and some things that challenged us on defence today, early in the game. Fortunately, our guys settled down and figured some stuff out and did a really good job of adjusting, and just really didnt give up anything in the second half.Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Russell Wilson added a 10-yard TD pass to Paul Richardson in the fourth quarter as Seattle rallied from a 7-3 halftime deficit.The 49ers (7-7) played better than they did during their 19-3 loss to Seattle on Thanksgiving night, but the result was the same.Its definitely tough. Especially for me. Im very competitive. I always feel like Im supposed to win, 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin said. I cant tell you the last time I didnt make the playoffs.Here are some other things that stood out from Seattles win:INJURY LIST: In a season filled with key injuries, the 49ers lost two more players late in the first half and another in the third quarter. Running back Frank Gore, who scored on a 10-yard run in the second quarter, left with a concussion. Middle linebacker Chris Borland, the NFC defensive rookie of the month in November, hurt his ankle on the final play of the first half. He attempted to return, but was mostly a spectator and repplaced by Nick Moody. Mookie Wilson Jersey. Gores backup, Carlos Hyde, was bent backward and appeared to injure his right leg late in the third quarter. And that was on top of San Francisco being without starting offensive linemen Marcus Martin and Anthony Davis, and cornerback Chris Culliver.They played as tough as you could want them, and they were right there the whole time, Carroll said. They had a lot of guys stepping in. A lot of credit goes to those guys.BRING THE HEAT: Because of San Franciscos banged-up offensive line, Seattles defensive line was consistently successful in getting pressure on Colin Kaepernick. Seattle finished with a season-high six sacks. Second-year defensive tackle Jordan Hill had a pair of sacks, while Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin, K.J. Wright and Kevin Williams were all credited with one.SECOND-HALF SHUTOUT: San Francisco had 178 total yards in the first half after gaining 164 for the entire game in the first meeting. San Francisco had only six plays of 10 yards or more in the first meeting and none longer than 16 yards. They had eight plays of 10 or more yards in the first half Sunday.Those plays disappeared in the second half. San Francisco had 6 total yards in the third quarter and 67 for the second half.It was a position that we thought we could put our running backs, myself and offensively in a positive situation to have good plays, we did move the ball well at the beginning of the game, but we have to be able to sustain that for 60 minutes, Kaepernick said.COLIN ON THE RUN: For the first time in four career games in Seattle, Kaepernick did not commit a turnover and had a passer rating of 81.3. But unlike the NFC championship game last January, Kaepernicks running was not a factor. After Kaepernick was unable to be a threat in the run game on Thanksgiving night, Seattle expected more designed run plays this time.They were right. But aside from a 22-yard run, Kaepernick was mostly corralled and had only one other run longer than 5 yards.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
