Fresh off their trip to Argentina, it seems as though if Boca Juniors had their way, one of the Magicos would be there to stay. The article (posted on BigSoccer.com) - written in Spanish - basically states three things:
1) Boca Juniors usually looks to Asia (e.g. Japan) for their foreign flair and global marketing [...]

The road to our season opener in DC is ever-shortening, as there are only two more (confirmed) exhibitions to be played before they start counting. The first is an exhibition against the Columbus Crew on neutral turf - Wake Forest University (Winston-Salem, North Carolina). The second, as reported earlier, is a game against [...]

A great way to keep fans on their toes is by making your roster as uncertain as possible three weeks away from the beginning of the season… or at least this is the strategy OnGoal seems to be employing by trading solid center-back Shavar Thomas to the LA Galaxy for a 2nd round pick.
Thomas [...]

The last thing I will say about Kansas City playing Boca Juniors. It happened. We lost, 2-0, both goals coming in the second half… Kronberg let in the first in the 73rd minute, Konopka came in at the 75th and let in the second. If you believe kcwizards.com, the Wizards managed [...]

Other than a rather lackluster split-squad performance against Argentinian first division club San Lorenzo, there are really only two things to report in Wizard-land:
1) The Wizards met their real-life counterpart. Though perhaps it is a less exciting story than if, say, the Chicago Fire were to have a run in with their team nickname, [...]

Defense and Justice out of the Way, KC Now Moves on to playing Mouth
Playing against Argentinian “B” league side Defensa y Justicia in a split-squad exhibition, the Wizards’ first team played to a 1-1 draw and the reserves pulled out a 1-0 win. The Reserves’ goal was from Ryan Raybould’s second-half PK, while college [...]

Two bits of ancillary news from the world of the Wizards:
1) Despite absolutely no announcement of such that I can find on MLSNet, today there will be a lottery for the rights to sign newly-unemployed US U-20 national Robbie Rogers. The word on Rogers - who left the University of Maryland to join Dutch [...]

First and Foremost:
Does anyone know a better Spanish translation of “Wizards” than “Magos”? I’m pretty sure magos is more like “magicians”.
Secondly:
Between finishing up in Florida and going off to Argentina, the Wizards had a productive few days back in the motherland of Missouri. Highlights:
- The groundbreaking ceremony on the Wizard’s new practice complex/University-level [...]

“I think he’s still in Kansas, Toto…”
I Can’t Believe I Almost Went to Europe…
Despite rumors he might go to Europe with Lillestrøm (Norway) or - as I discovered in the linked article - with Standard Liege (Belgium), where fellow American back Onguchi Onyewu plays, Jimmy Conrad has inked a four year extension with the Wizards. [...]

So here’s a big surprise for you: half of the Kansas City Wizards (either half, in fact) is better than a group of kids who can’t buy a scratch ticket. As a way to put a positive finish on their time in Florida, the Wizards split their team and faced the US U-17 squad. [...]
