First a little history, 23 weeks ago, I was still waiting on my son to arrive, Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton were still fighting for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillcrest Road was still scheduled to begin building in the summer, and the Wizards won their last road game. Who would have thought that with only 1 road game left this season, that the Wizards only road win would come in Chicago, a place they've notoriously had trouble winning at.

Sorry for getting this out a little later today, went to the Kevin Hartman book signing in Lee's Summit tonight. Had a good time there. Anyways, the Wizards are back home at Community America Ballpark to take on the Canadians, Toronto FC. The Wizards come in off the 2-0 win over LA, while Toronto comes in off of a home draw with top of the table Columbus. Click to continue reading...

Carlos Bocanegra lead his team Rennes to a 2-1 win in the UEFA Cup by scoring the winning goal. Of course he got a header from a free kick! See how all our Americans did in the Americans In Europe section.

Even without their star player Guillermo Barros Schelotto the Columbus Crew steamrolled New York in the second half last night. Click to continue reading...

For at least the last month of the season, I'm going to bring back the Wizards. That's right. You heard it here first. Hopefully, a revival on this here blog will coincide with a better late-than never run towards a postseason berth, something that seems unlikely for team that has gone cold at the worst time of the season.

I am very excited to see Houston & Pachuca battle it out once again. This time in the SuperLiga semifinals! Every time these two teams meet it's a masterpiece of a game! Oh Yeah!

OK, so ..... a very short entry today and sadly none tomorrow, as I have to go out of town on short notice for some family business. Just read the other Designated Players sites for all the updates. See ya next week.

Toronto FC coach John Carver wonders what his striker Jeff Cunningham is doing out there on the field: "You want my honest opinion on that? I'm thinking how has he scored 99 goals?"

My team, the Minnesota Thunder, have dismissed coach Amos Magee late today. Click to continue reading...

I have this U2 bootleg of them playing a tiny club gig (for U2 at least) at New York's Irving Plaza. After the 1st song Bono says that putting them on that stage was akin "trying to land a 747 on your front lawn". I think that same statement could be applied to Brand Beckham making an appearance at KC's Community America Ballpark. Click to continue reading...

The Wizards got a dramatic winner against their sister club Atlas last night out at Community America Ballpark. Michael Kraus put in a rebound from an almost impossible angle after Atlas' keeper, Pedro Hernandez, blocked a shot by Nelson Pizarro in the 91st minute to give the Wizards the win.

The Wizards started almost the same team from the Open Cup game against Seattle, the only change was Pizarro replacing Kraus. Click to continue reading...

I have no proof of this, but the guess all season has been that the game between KC and the LA Galaxy on September 13th would be moved to the Wizards former home of Arrowhead Stadium. There was speculation back in February that the Wizards could play two games at Arrowhead this season. And while nothing has been officially announced, it seems like Arrowhead is going to be the site. Click to continue reading...

For the first time since the second game of the season, the Wizards scored more then one goal in an MLS game. Goals by Jimmy Conrad and Davy Arnaud helped the Wizards to the 2-1 win over Red Bull New York tonight at Community America Ballpark.

The Wizards started the first half strong, keeping the action in New York's end of the field. Click to continue reading...

Busy couple of days for the Wizards, as after tonight's game against Red Bull New York, the Wizards will take on sister club Atlas tomorrow night, again out at Community America Ballpark. I've been disappointed in the timing of this match, as it keeps any regular first teamers from being able to play in this game due to the game tonight. Click to continue reading...

Ah yes, the old cliche that always appears after any long trip away from home. And after six games, two months, one win, three losses, and two ties, the Wizards come back to play a home game at Community America Ballpark (or as I affectionately call it, the CAB) this weekend against the Crew.

The road trip hasn't been pretty.

OnGoal has been the owner of our beloved Kansas City Wizards for two years now. There have been many wonderful things done since they took over ownership: new stadium plans, a temporary home, and they are showing some signs of support towards the group of fans who stand in the Cauldron.

Their stated goal is to grow the Cauldron through a grassroots campaign. Click to continue reading...
