Tan drew two penalty kicks, the first one which was converted by Sebastien Le Toux, as the Whitecaps beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0 Sunday.

Now, after Toronto played just its second preseason game — a 2-2 draw against third-division side Orlando City at the Walt Disney World Classic — there will be those who wonder if the lack of preseason game action will help or hurt TFC long-term.

It’s hard to read too much into a preseason game, but Friday night’s Walt Disney World classic opener between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact presented a couple of interesting storylines.

The network, which didn’t broadcast a single TFC match outside of the Voyageurs’ Cup last season, is on for six MLS games in 2012.

TSN has released its national MLS broadcast schedule for 2012.

Two days after being told he wasn’t going to take part in the Montreal Impact’s inaugural MLS season as a player, Gatti announced his retirement and will take a job in the the Impact’s academy. Gatti will coach the U14 prospects.

On Wednesday, the Whitecaps announced that the club has signed 23-year-old defender Greg Klazura, who played five seasons at Notre Dame.

At this time last season, Eduardo Sebrango was pondering retirement. Now, he’s guaranteed a season in Major League Soccer.

So, of the five players holding Canadian passports who played with the Impact in its final NASL season that were invited to the team’s inaugural MLS camp, four have now fallen by the wayside.

The Vancouver Whitecaps certainly scored well in the PR department Sunday, as it beat the reigning CIS champion University of Victoria Vikes Sunday, in front of 2,831 fans in the B.C capital.
