VANCOUVER -- The good times kept rolling Monday for Camilo and the rest of the Vancouver Whitecaps. Camilo was named to the MLS All-Star team that will meet Italys AS Roma on July 31 in Kansas City. The 24-year-old Brazilian striker earned his first MLS all-star game selection. Peter Vermes, the MLS all-star squads coach, chose Camilo, who struggled to get into Vancouvers lineup earlier this season, among players who rounded out the roster after fan voting. Camilo refused to take sole credit for his selection. "Its very important, but not just for me," said Camilo after a practice at the University of British Columbia on Monday. "It just means the club is playing very well. The team is playing good soccer, and its very important." Camilo, who is in his third season with the Whitecaps and leads the league in scoring with 12 goals, was also named MLS player of the week for the second time this season. The honours came a day after he scored two goals in Vancouvers 3-1 victory over the Chicago Fire. He has scored nine goals in his past seven games and helped the Whitecaps move from also-ran status into third place in the Western Conference. The Whitecaps are also the only MLS club that is unbeaten at home, sporting a 7-0-3 mark at B.C. Place Stadium. Camilo said he has been able to shine because the Whitecaps have placed more emphasis on the attack in recent weeks. "Thats why we score a lot of goals, because we are more free, we attack more (and) we have more chances," he said. Vancouver players have earned player-of-the-week honours in four of the past five weeks. Coach Martin Rennie said Camilo is just one of many Whitecaps who are excelling these days. "Weve got a lot of players in good form," said Rennie. "But, certainly, Camilos in great goal-scoring form at the moment." Rennie attributed Camilos success to better fitness after he was hampered by a thigh injury much of last season, a more defined role, and opportunities to play with fellow striker Kenny Miller upon his return from injury. "(Camilo) has rewarded us all with his performances and his goals," said Rennie. "When players are scoring (consistently), that makes such a difference to the team." Camilo has now surpassed the career-high 10 goals he scored as a rookie in 2011 and the seven markers he produced in 2012. Goalkeeper Brad Knighton called Camilos all-star game selection "fantastic, not only for him but for the club." He suggested Camilo would have received a major snub if he had not been chosen. "The leading goal-scorer in the league, obviously, he deserves to be there. ... Hes been tremendous for us," said Knighton. "Hes been a huge catalyst to where we are right now." Meanwhile, Knighton apologized to teammates and fans for angrily leaving the pitch quickly Sunday after the Whitecaps surrendered a goal in the dying seconds of their win over Chicago. "Its frustrating for me, because you obviously want clean sheets, but wins are more important than clean sheets," said Knighton. "I want to apologize to our guys for storming off and leaving them on the field, and apologize to our fans because, obviously, we have a reputation. Our fans are our biggest supporters, and our organization is trying to be one of the best in the world, and to have stuff like that going on, its not good." Knighton vowed that such antics would never happen again. Rennie said it was good for him to take responsibility for his actions, but understood his frustration, adding no goalkeeper should be happy allowing a goal. Heading into next Saturdays game in Los Angeles, the Whitecaps are 7-0-3 in their past 10 games. Some players will spend this week attempting to get back in the lineup as they battle health woes. Midfielder Russell Teibert, who was forced to return early from international duty with Canadas Gold Cup squad early after coming down with an illness, took part in Mondays practice, which was optional for players who toiled against Chicago. Teibert went to hospital for tests, but did not stay over night, while with the Canadian team in Seattle. The 20-year-old Niagara Falls, Ont., native was sniffling after the workout with the Caps, but expected to be able to play against the Galaxy. "Im still a little bit sick, obviously, but I turned the corner," said Teibert. "Im getting better day by day." Note--Rennie said he hopes injured central defender Andy OBrien (hamstring) can resume full training this week. The coach did not rule him out of the game against the Galaxy. OBrien went through rehabilitation on the pitch Monday. ... Miller and Knighton were the other Whitecaps who have taken home MLS player of the week awards. Ryan Smyth Jersey . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots. Tim Robin Johnsgard had the lone goal for Norway (0-2).

If youre still playing in your league, congratulations, because youve survived the bad beats, disappointing performances and general misfortune that doom fantasy owners year after year.Its always fun to see the list of most common players on the rosters of teams that reached the finals -- at least for those who got there -- because its often a sprinkling of players who helped you get to the playoffs and a larger dose of those who performed well in Weeks 14 and 15, the two-week semifinals in ESPNs standard play.Only 10 players are on the rosters of finalists in at least 30 percent of ESPN leagues, so without further ado, lets get to the list. Remember, this is only for ESPN standard 10-team leagues:You may be surprised to see that Tom Brady (7 points in Week 15), Aaron Rodgers (11 points in Week 15) and Drew Brees (4 points in Week 14) -- star quarterbacks who each put up one well-below-average game in the past two weeks -- still cracked the top 25. However, its not such an eye-opener when you consider that Matt Ryan is the only quarterback to score at least 35 points the past two weeks combined. Thats because most quarterbacks had at least one bad week, and many had two rough performances.Only six quarterbacks scored more than 30 points during Weeks 14 and 15: Ryan (40), Andrew Luck (34), Brady (33), Brees (33), Rodgers (32) and Cam Newton (31). As one final nail in the coffin, if you will, to illustrate quarterbackk struggles during the fantasy semis, Matt Moores 23 points in Week 15 alone were more than three top-10 fantasy quarterbacks for the season -- Marcus Mariota, Derek Carr and Ben Roethlisberger -- compiled in the past two weeks individually.ddddddddddddIf youre curious, here are some of the most notable widely owned fantasy stars whose poor two-week stretches have them way down the list: Antonio Brown (17.9 percent), Dez Bryant (15.5), Mark Ingram (15.1) and Russell Wilson (14.7)Julio Jones finds himself on the roster of 16.1 percent of finalists despite missing the past two games due to injury. What a boost he could provide, if hes able to return and play well in Weeks 16 and 17. Meanwhile, Ty Montgomery was owned in just 58 percent of leagues through Week 15 but still is on the roster of 13.1 percent of fantasy finalists. Could he wind up as this years Tim Hightower, or is his ownership simply too low to make that kind of a jump, even if he continues his strong play in the final two weeks?Once Week 17 is complete and your league has crowned its champion, well revisit this topic to see who were the most common players to lead their teams to fantasy glory in ESPN leagues. Until then, heres hoping you make the best decisions in your fantasy finals, if youre fortunate enough to be in them. ' ' '
