TORONTO -- The statistics are still bleak in terms of wins and goals, but credit Toronto FC with a gritty performance Saturday in a 0-0 tie with the New York Red Bulls. While hardly a masterpiece, sometimes you take what you can -- especially in yet another rebuilding season. Toronto (2-10-8) pressed in the second half and had the better chances against a team 18 points ahead of it in the standings. Over the final 45 minutes, the home side held an edge in attempts on goal (8-2) and shots on target (3-0). Despite having the best of an unremarkable first half, the Red Bulls (9-7-5) failed to impress in their garish blue-and-yellow uniforms. "Were slightly disappointed not to win the game, obviously," said Toronto captain Steven Caldwell, resplendent after the game in a suit, tie, suspenders and argyle socks. "We felt we were the better team. Without creating lots of great chances, we felt we had the one or two that we could have took and we kept their chances to a minimum. "They had a little flurry at the end but we held strong." Added Toronto manager Ryan Nelsen: "There was only one team in it, especially in that second half." As the score suggests, neither team offered much up front. New Yorks strike partnership of superstar Thierry Henry and Fabian Espindola, who have 11 goals between them, were quiet, with Henry cruising in and out of the game. Henry had New Yorks lone shot on goal, a low shot that Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik handled in the early going. The visitors were more in control in the first half, leading attempts on goal 6-2 and shots on target 1-0. New York coach Mike Petke did not like what he saw. "Not impressive, not impressive at all," he said. "Toronto had the right mentality, we didnt. "We play this game on paper we win this game. But this game is not played on paper, this game is played with heart, effort, logic and Toronto had all of those categories today, so in a way I feel fortunate we got a point." Torontos lack of offence continues to be worrying, however. The club has scored just 17 goals in 20 games. Toronto has not scored in five hours 36 minutes. With top strikers Danny Koevermans and Robert Earnshaw out injured, Toronto started Jeremy Brockie (one goal this season) and Justin Braun (two goals) up front. That did not bode well for the leagues 18th-worst offence. Toronto has been shut out in its last three road games, a goalless drought now at 319 minutes. And Toronto has been blanked in eight of its last 12 outings overall, with just seven goals to its credit during that run. "Its always a concern when youre not scoring but I cant fault (Brockie and Braun) because they worked so hard," Nelsen said. "They tried and they got in (scoring) positions." Plus the only striker on the bench was Andrew Wiedeman, a 23-year-old who has two MLS goals to his credit. In the second half, New York was able to introduce Democratic Republic of Congo striker Peguy Luyindula, a 34-year-old who scored 37 goals in 179 games for Frances Paris Saint-Germain. Toronto is expected to bring in attacking help during the current transfer window. Saturdays draw extends Torontos winless streak to six games. And home fans have not seen a league win at BMO Field since a 2-1 victory over Colorado on July 18, 2012. Since then, Torontos league record at its lakefront home is 0-13-10. Seven of the starters from that game are no longer with the franchise. Toronto did record a home victory earlier this season, over Sporting Kansas City, but it came indoors at Rogers Centre. Nelsen pointed to fatigue -- it was Torontos fifth game in three weeks -- and some curious refereeing decision Saturday. Brockie was brought down in New York penalty box in the 22nd minute but referee Jorge Gonzalez did not point to the penalty spot. Both teams had early goals called off for offside: first Brockies tap-in in the 13th minute and then Tim Cahills header. Torontos non-goal came courtesy of a nice raking cross from Ashtone Morgan. Toronto also had a slew of dead ball chances in the first half but failed to produce a quality delivery. The home side finally had a shot on target in the second half, but New York goalkeeper Luis Robles easily handled Bobby Conveys free kick. Torontos best chance came minutes later after Argentine midfielder Matias Laba, taking advantage of a Red Bulls turnover, dribbled into the New York penalty box. He twisted and turned, eventually finding Jonathan Osorio who could not get a shot off in traffic. Laba was influential for Toronto -- Nelsen called his second-half performance brilliant -- with Convey also a busy presence. Robles had to be sharp in the 74th minute, twisting in the air to claw the ball away after a deflected blast from Richard Eckersley. "It was a great save," Petke said. "He made a couple key saves, especially that one. The reaction save was great." New York is undefeated in its last nine games (6-0-3) against Toronto, dating back to June 24, 2009. Petke wanted more, however. "Going into a huge game next week at home (against Western Conference leader Real Salt Lake), coming off a 4-0 thrashing of Montreal firing on all cylinders, then to come here and play like this, I am honestly confused," he said. "I will throw a cliche out there -- it is back to the drawing board." Wholesale Air Jordan 13 Australia .

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Cheap Jordan 13 Wholesale . The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. ?Competing in his first senior nationals, Deepak Singh beat Olympic quarterfinalist Devendro Singh by unanimous decision to claim the 52kg contest.As the first officially-sanctioned boxing national championships to be held in nearly four years, the boxing nationals in Guwahati were expected to bring hitherto unknown talent to light. On Tuesday, it was the turn of 20-year-old Deepak Singh of Chandigarh to make his presence felt.?Deepak went on to win the title of best boxer of the tournament. It was a remarkable show for a boxer who has never been part of the national camp at any level and whose only previous appearance at a nationals - in the 2012 juniors - ended with a finish outside the medal brackets.Deepak was himself surprised by the result, which was only the second gold by a boxer from Chandigarh. I had practiced hard so I was expecting to do well. But I was not expecting to win the best boxer award, said Deepak, who had previously won gold at the 2015 Inter University Championships.There was slight pressure on me because the bout was against Devendro but I was confident about the hard work I had put in my training. I started boxing as a 12-year-old and this is my first national championships.Devendro had an off dayWhile there was no doubting Deepaks dominance on the day, it must be said that Devendro was far from his bestt.dddddddddddd The Manipuri is still recovering from an ankle injury and had moved up a weight category as well. I will see what went wrong in the bout and will work on my weaknesses. I am not particularly happy with my fitness levels, as of now its not even 80 percent. But I will bounce back, I am not the one to get bogged down by setbacks, said Devendro, who added that he would stay in the flyweight division.Devendros loss may have been the upset of the day but there was another surprise, in the mens 49kg division. Former Asian Youth bronze medalist K Shyamkumar was beaten by Haryanas Amit. I made a few mistakes in the opening round, which probably cost me. Still I thought I should have won the bout, said the Andhra Pradesh boxer.Other resultsThere were also results that went according to plan. Two-time Olympian and local favourite Shiva Thapa, who had injured his forehead during the quarterfinal bout, outpunched Ankush Dahiya 5-0 in the lightweight (60kg) division. Two-time bronze medallist at the Asian Championships, Manoj, representing the Railway Sports Promotion Board, defeated Duryodhan Singh Negi of the Services Sports Control Board by split decision 4-1 in the welterweight (69kg) final bout.
