TORONTO - Toronto soccer fans hoping to see David Beckam may have to wait a little bit longer.
The England star midfielder likely won't be in the lineup when his Los Angeles Galaxy are in town May 31 to play Toronto FC in a Major League Soccer match.
Beckham was named to the England side Sunday for a pair of international friendlies May 28 against the United States at London's Wembley Stadium, and June 1 at Trinidad and Tobago.
An injury kept Beckham out of the game when L.A. visited Toronto last season.
The midfielder could play in Toronto on July 24, when BMO Field plays host to this year's MLS all-star game.
Beckham is in Edmonton this week where the Galaxy were scheduled to play the Vancouver Whitecaps in a friendly Tuesday at Commonwealth Stadium.
England coach Fabio Capello also named Calgary midfielder Owen Hargreaves to his roster for the two upcoming exhibition matches. |
all I can say is booooooo to Beckham, I hope he doesnt even make the all star team. I spit on you Mr. beckham. :mad: |

TFC could represent in CONCACAF
Club in tournament to represent Canada in the in CONCACAF Champions League
Toronto FC Media Relations
Toronto FC will play Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps to decide who will represent Canada in the inaugural 2008-09 season of the CONCACAF Champions League. The tournament was announced at a press conference at BMO Field on Wednesday afternoon.
Full ticket details will be announced next month. The games will not be included in season ticket packages. Season seat holders will be able to buy their seats for both games before they are sold to the public and there will be an exclusive sales period for members of the Toronto FC waiting list.
All three teams will play four games - two at home and two on the road. There will be three points awarded for a win and one point for a draw. If two teams are tied on points after four matches, the winner will be decided first by goal differential, then if necessary by most goals scored. If it is still tied, away goals will be used to decide the winner, then if necessary the drawing of lots.
Toronto FC will kick off the tournament on May 27 at the new Stade Saputo against the Montreal Impact. There will be a Canada Day showdown at BMO Field as TFC host Vancouver Whitecaps. Toronto then head to Vancouver on July 9 and play their final game at home to Montreal on July 22.
"It is great to finally announce this tournament," said Tom Anselmi, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and Governor of Major League Soccer. "The idea started as a friendly tournament between the three teams, but it developed further when we heard about the new CONCACAF Champions League."
"It will be great to play for the bragging rights in Canada. We expect to win the tournament, but so will Vancouver and Montreal," he said. "We are a second year team they have been around for quite a while. The most important thing is that this will help soccer in Canada."
"Hopefully this will inspire people. Competitions such as this support our goal of motivating the next generation of Canada's soccer talent. Kids look up to professional athletes. There hasn't been a lot of that in soccer here, but this will help. We have an obligation to build sport. We do it with hockey and basketball, and we are committed to building soccer," said Anselmi.
The three clubs were represented at the press conference to announce the tournament. Montreal Impact president Joey Saputo and Vancouver Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi were alongside Tom Anselmi. Canadian Soccer Association Chairman Dominic Maestracci made the announcement.
"This competition provides a unique opportunity for the professional clubs and the Canadian Soccer Association to showcase a high-level competition to our fans," said Maestracci. "It will open the door for our best professional club to measure itself against the best clubs in CONCACAF."
The CONCACAF Champions League - which will replace the existing eight-team CONCACAF Champions' Cup - will feature four clubs each from Mexico and the United States, two clubs each from Costa Roca, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, one club each from Canada, Belize and Nicaragua, and three clubs from the Caribbean islands.

I think SuperLiga is going to fold, as CCL gains more prominence. With CCL, SuperLiga loses it's attractiveness.
I do hope that Canada Cup expands so that all CSL league teams can eventually participate, kinda like Canada's version of FA Cup. |

I'm not totally clear yet on the qualification rules .. but I wonder whether Toronto can actually qualify if they finish in the top 4 of the MLS and not simply by virtue of the fact that they win the Canada Cup
