Regex catch space in the link

Question

I'm grab value from web page and I use this:

.Squadra = Regex.Match(Content, "<td class=""team large-link""\s*>(.+?)</td>").Groups(1).ToString
.Squadra = Remove_Tags(Regex.Match(.Squadra, ">(\w+)<\/a>").Groups(1).ToString)

you can see that .Squadra contains the grabbed link value, so in the next step i replace al link format and grab the only value inserted in the link. All working good, but if I have value like this: Real Vicenza, the variable return me blank value, probably for the space between Real and Vicenza? How to correct this? I'm trying to insert s* before (+w) but seems doesn't work.

@smathy The only difference between this regex and the dupe is the word `player` and `team`. — Bjørn-Roger Kringsjå, Jan 03 '15 at 17:56
No, this question is about the `\w+` part of the second line of code, the first question was about the ` — smathy, Jan 03 '15 at 18:34

Instead of using (\w+) use ([^<]+) - that matches all non-< characters, which is far less likely to fail.
