HARRISON, N. Matt Cassel Jersey .J. —The Red Bulls made
it back to the MLS playoffs with a game to spare. New York clinched its third
straight playoff berth and ninth in 10 years with a 0-0 tie against Sporting
Kansas City on Saturday night. A win at Philadelphia next weekend would earn
third place—and avoid the one-game wild-card round. “In my opinion, theyre
one of the best teams in the league,” said KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, who made
five saves in his 15th shutout this season. A record crowd of 25,219 attended
the match at 3-season-old Red Bull Arena, where Kansas City won 2-0 last month.
“I think they came out with a different mentality and a different game plan,”
Nielsen said. “We did an incredible job of fighting through for 90 minutes.” New
York (15-9-9), which has never won a Major League Soccer title despite a string
of high-priced stars, helped San Jose earn homefield advantage throughout the
10-team playoffs as Supporters Shield winner for the best record. The
Earthquakes also had the best record in 2005, when they were knocked out in the
quarterfinals. Kansas City (17-7-9) extended its unbeaten streak to 11 games,
despite the dominance of the Red Bulls. “It was a quiet evening for Luis,” Red
Bulls coach Hans Backe said of goalkeeper Luis Robles. “He had nothing to do,
except for one header 86 minutes in. One of the better games we played. We
should have won the game 4-0. Even though it was 0-0, I was pleased with how we
played. We pressed them all over the pitch.” Nielsen, who got could tie Tony
Meolas MLS record of 16 shutouts, made a diving save on Dax McCartys 20-yard,
left-footed shot in the 23rd minute, and Kenny Cooper sent the rebound over the
crossbar. Nielsen deflected Coopers rising shot over the bar in the 41st minute,
then raised a hand in the 65th to knock down a 12-yard angled shot by Thierry
Henry, then had to prevent an own goal when the ball bounced off a defender.
Nielsen made a diving save on McCartys 17-yard volley in the 88th. Robles had
stopped a header by Kei Kamara at the far post in the 86th minute. “I thought
tonight we were in control of the game,” Red Bulls star Thierry Henry said. “For
once, we showed a good attitude. I thought right from the start and till the
end. Their goalkeeper had a good day. The way we started the game, you could
tell we were going to be in control.” KC coach Peter Vermes noticed a
much-improved Red Bulls team. “They had a different energy than they had in
previous games. They had to secure their spot. I said to the team that it was
going to be a playoff atmosphere. We came in with a game plan, but they had a
different energy and that changed the game. Jamaal Charles Youth Jersey . Pour la

openly acknowledges hell be an addict for life. Eric Berry Jersey . – Marco Pappa scored in
the second minute of stoppage time to send the Chicago Fire to a 2-1 victory at
Chivas in Major League Soccer on Friday.PITTSBURGH – Dave Morrison, the Leafs
director of amateur scouting, had Dave Poulin, vice-president of hockey
operations, at his side. The two were charting picks at Torontos draft table as
the first round rolled along at Consol Energy Centre on Friday night, aiming to
predict which prospect competing teams would select. “At a certain point, each
of us kept going Matt Finn with the next pick,” Morrison said. Retiring to the
hotel later that evening, neither expected Finn to be on the board when the
organization next picked early the following morning. But there available at
35th overall in the second round of the 2012 draft was Finn, a minute-crunching
defenceman for the Guelph Storm. “We had him as a first rounder,” Morrison said
of the Toronto native, who led all Storm blueliners with 47 points. “Were pretty
happy to get him at 35. I told him that, I said We had you a lot higher. I think
hes comparable to a lot of the defencemen that were picked quite a bit earlier.
“That was a great way to start the day.” Ranked 21st overall on the Final Draft
Ranking for TSN and 22nd on the Toronto board, Finn – a second cousin of former
Leaf and current Blue Carlo Colaiacovo – emerged as a second round surprise for
the Leafs, who selectedd Moose Jaw defenceman Morgan Rielly with the fifth
overall pick on Friday. Jamaal Charles Jersey. “He plays a ton of
minutes in Guelph,” Morrison continued of the six-foot, 195-pound defender. “Hes
got good offensive numbers. Hes smart. He moves the puck very well, he competes,
got good size, hes not afraid of physical play – although hes not necessarily a
mean defender – but he plays hard, he goes to all the dirty areas, does what he
has to. And I think hes probably got more offensive ability than he even
displayed this year.” Finn finished sixth among all OHL defencemen in points,
totaling 10 goals and 38 assists, but multiple conversations with Storm head
coach Scott Walker had Morrison confident that more was in the cards
offensively. “He just said I play the kid so much, I dont know how much he has
in the tank sometimes to push the offensive envelope,” Morrison recalled.
“Needless to say, were thrilled to get him and we think hes a much better player
than where we got him. Time will tell.” “Sitting there was long obviously,” Finn
concluded of the nervous second round wait. “Its always nice to go that first
night, but Im happy as could be right now and wouldnt have it any other way.” ’
