MANCHESTER, England -- Louis van Gaal has always said it could get worse before it gets better at Manchester United. He couldnt have thought it would get this bad. Barely two months ago, a jubilant Van Gaal was leaping out of his seat and high-fiving his Netherlands players as he masterminded a 5-1 thrashing of Spain at the World Cup in Brazil. Compare that to the glum, stony-faced figure of Van Gaal who remained glued to his seat during Uniteds humiliating 4-0 loss to third-tier club MK Dons in the second round of the League Cup on Tuesday. To the right of him, Ryan Giggs -- a club great who is now Van Gaals assistant coach -- buried his face in his hands. Even though United fielded a virtual reserve team, albeit one containing established internationals like Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Shinji Kagawa, it was one of the most embarrassing results in the history of Englands biggest club. Following on from a winless start in the Premier League after two games of Van Gaals tenure, serious doubts are already being raised about the Dutchmans use of the 3-5-2 formation and the lack of depth in his squad, especially in defence. "The process needs time," Van Gaal said. "We know exactly what we are doing." Time is something United doesnt have. David Moyes only lasted 10 months last season before being fired, and Van Gaal has already virtually written off Uniteds chances of winning the Premier League in this second straight year of transition at Old Trafford. With no European football this season, the FA Cup remains the only genuine opportunity for silverware -- and it is still only August. The optimism of pre-season, when United won six straight games under Van Gaal, including victories over Real Madrid and Liverpool, has disappeared. Van Gaal is now left hoping a spending spree of about 130 million pounds ($215 million), capped by the club-record signing of Angel Di Maria for $99 million hours before the MK Dons game, pays off. Van Gaal has played three at the back in his time at United but his defenders look uncomfortable in that formation and the wing backs -- so crucial in a 3-5-2 -- utilized by the Dutchman have no experience in that position. Di Marias arrival will not just introduce pace and fresh ideas into the teams midfield, it might also mean United changing tactics. "We shall see if with Di Maria we have to change the system or not," Van Gaal said Tuesday. With less than a week before the transfer window shuts, the loss again highlighted the need for defensive reinforcements. Left back Luke Shaw and left-sided defender Marcos Rojo have joined but United appears to still require an experienced centre back. The defending was awful against MK Dons, with Jonny Evans -- a regular in recent seasons -- to blame for the first goal. Van Gaal didnt escape blame, either, with critics questioning why he felt the need to rest star players like Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Juan Mata when United isnt in Europe this season. Even with a weakened side, how could a club that won the Premier League 15 months ago and was playing in the Champions League final three years ago play so poorly against third-tier opposition that didnt even exist a decade ago? On Twitter, Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko tweeted "Hahahaha" after MK Dons second goal went in. With only the league to concentrate on until January, the loss may boost Uniteds chances of getting back in the top four and returning to the Champions League. For the time being, though, the embarrassment remains acute. "I am not shocked because I know what can happen," Van Gaal said. "A new team is not built in one month. "Its difficult for the fans, I know that, but they have to believe in our philosophy," Van Gaal added. "At the end, they can judge."

Mike Vecchione tied it at 2 with 4:01 left in the first, Saskatoon native Eli Lichtenwald gave the Dutchman the lead 57 seconds later, and Daniel Ciampini capped the spree with 2:57 to go. http://www.authenticsenatorspro.com/Matt...enators-jersey/. The win gives Canada its fifth title at the World Sledge Hockey Challenge. "Weve got to keep pushing," said Westlake, who led Canada with five goals in the tournament. "The second you let off the pedal, everyone catches up.

Mike Condon Jersey . - This is just the warm-up act for 18-year-old William Nylander.On Tuesday, Canada Soccer unveiled its new technical development vision for soccer in Canada, entitled Canada Soccer Pathway. Your Goals. Our Game. The pathway consists of three streams of play: recreational, competitive and EXCEL (the high performance level of the game). On hand to discuss the pathway were Canada Soccer Technical Director, Tony Fonseca, womens national team head coach, John Herdman, and Canada Soccer Long-Term Player Development Manager, Sylvie Béliveau. According to Béliveau, the pathway is "built around the principles of long-term player development and encourages lifelong participation. At Canada Soccer, we believe all players deserve the best possible soccer experience, and our Canada Soccer Pathway is designed to place their needs front and centre at each and every stage." The creation of different streams in youth soccer is long overdue, and a move that is likely to be met with approval across the country. Clubs are the primary delivery agents of the recreational and competitive streams, and in the coming weeks, Canada Soccer will release a national curriculum that supports coaches working with players in the first three stages of LTPD. Canada Soccer hopes to have the curriculum for the rest of the stages ready for release by the end of the summer. The national curriculum will be a valuable resource for coaches – especially for the thousands of volunteer coaches across the country working with young players. The curriculum will contain a "Preferred Training Model" that incorporates "station work", so that clubs that are heavily reliant on volunteer coaches can maximize their resources in order to provide the best development environment possible. The preferred model allows for a four-parent collective approach to training, and frees up the volunteer parent-coach from trying to impart too much technical or tactical information in one session. There are many benefits of taking such an approach at the early stages of player development. It maximizes the availability of coaching and facility resources, it aids volunteer parent coaches by allowing them to pool their knowledge, and it places players into an environment that meets their learning needs, where shorter, diverse sessions are broken up into varying activities of different intensity.dddddddddddd There are some questions that still need to be addressed with such an approach, though. Utilizing a "station work" approach to training requires guidance and oversight from a trained facilitator or coach educator. Do the majority of clubs across the country that are working with players between the ages of 4-12 have coach educators on staff? If not, how does Canada Soccer train coaches to be able to perform this role? Is the long-awaited "Childrens License" that has been in development finally going to be given the resources it needs to be completed? The Preferred Training Model suggests that an assessment-based coaching qualification such as this is required, so one would hope that its completion would be given top priority. More pressing questions arise when one looks further along the Canada Soccer Pathway. Given the significance of HP (high-performance) leagues in the Pathway, will Canada Soccer assume direct control of these leagues? If not, how will Canada Soccer ensure that such leagues will be open to both non-profit community clubs and for-profit private academies? If Canada Soccer is going to leave the operation of HP leagues to the respective provincial associations, how will Canada Soccer ensure that political forces do not undermine technical decisions – like the inclusion of private academies? If we are serious about creating the best possible environments for player development in Canada, then politics have no place in our technical decision-making process. Among the documents released on Tuesday was a community guide for long-term player development, as well as a womens EXCEL program guide for players and parents. Both documents provide some valuable insight into the direction of the game in Canada. Those expecting Tuesdays announcement to contain the answers for all of our developmental woes will feel very underwhelmed. Our problems run deep, and require a series of detailed, long-term solutions. While this is just the first step, it is important to remember that every long journey starts with a single step. I, for one, am hopeful that this step will take us in the right direction.
