I guess the Wizards finally decided to relax my worries about the team’s early inability to finish by scoring three against the Fire in their first pre-season win. If I was given the opportunity to write out the script, I might have picked the exact same goal scorers: Yura Movsisyan, Eddie Johnson, and Scott [...]

By: Michael | No Comments
Huzzah! Kansas City have now improved to 0-2-1 after a 0-0 draw with DC United. Coach Onalfo called the game the Wiz’s best yet and apparently defender Jose Burciaga, Jr. and youngster Yura Movsisyan (fresh off an ankle injury) nearly connected to put the tally in KC’s favor. For the first time, [...]

So while the Galaxy, Toronto FC, and RBNY all talk about undefeated seasons, the Kansas City Wizards have decided to keep everything in perspective. That’s right, the pre-season doesn’t matter. Which is why I am not at all upset to see we have dropped another scrimmage. This time it was a 1-0 [...]

After Tuesday’s scrimmage loss to RBNY, Kansas City gained a big boost yesterday when Jimmy Conrad, Eddie Johnson, and (last season’s scoring leader) Scott Sealy officially joined camp.

So despite what Martha may have you think, all things were not equal in RBNY’s 3-1 defeat of Kansas City yesterday. While Curt Onalfo fielded an extremely mixed roster for the Wizards, it seems as though RBNY felt the need to field a starting XI very close to their regular season’s starters. The [...]

Fresh off of a wonderful 2-0 win over Mexico, Jimmy Conrad and Eddie Johnson will return to the KC Wizard’s training camp next week.

KC defender Jimmy Conrad is quickly becoming a leader on the US Men’s National Team. He took up the rotating captaincy in America’s great game against Denmark. As si.com’s Grant Wahl points out, there has been no shortage of words from the Wizard’s defensive star going into tonight’s US-Mexico game:
- “I use the [...]

By: Michael | 1 Comment
In August of 2006, a group of investors calling themselves “OnGoal, LLC.” bought the Wizards for $15 million dollars. They are local, committed, and willing to invest in the team up front in order to produce results. It is my opinion that an owner like this is exactly what MLS should be all [...]
