KC-RSL pregame. Can we score a goal please? Anyone?
By: Herschel |Real Salt Lake comes into town this weekend after trouncing Chivas USA on Wednesday. That’s a perfect recipe for disaster for a team like the Wizards that has scored ONE goal in it’s last 6 games (7 if you count the loss vs. Seattle for the US Cup).
Chivas and America to play at Arrowhead
By: Herschel |So if you didn’t get a chance to accompany the Wizards to St. Louis to the game against Atlas, it seems On Goal, who owns the Wizards, will let you use your “Special Game B” ticket to go see the Chivas vs. America Super Clasico game to be held at Arrowhead on September 16.
What to do now? Can we still make a run?
By: Herschel |We are still mathematically alive with 10 games left, but, is it time to throw in the towel, think about next year and give the young players some field time to try and play spoilers? or should we go out there and play the Onalfo-Vermes style lineup that is “overflowing with experience”? (but no goals)
The drought continues, and I started hearing music in my head.
By: Herschel |This might sound cheesy, but while watching the Wizards lose again, and worst of all, not score again a Madonna song from the early 1990s started to go off in my head.
On the road again and hoping for a goal
By: Herschel |The Wizards are running out of time to right the ship and try to make a run up the table. They visit the Earthquakes in a match between teams that certainly had higher expectations for the 2009 than what they have been able to achieve up to now.
So what are our playoff chances? Trying to do some Math
By: Herschel |I though about writing something asking fans to comment and vote on what the Wizards should do with the rest of the season but decided instead to wait for this weekend’s game to see how things shape up. Instead I’m going to try and do a very superficial numbers analysis (I’m no math Major [...]
Better Effort, Better Play; Same Offense, Same Result
By: Herschel |A different Wizards team came out to play on Sunday afternoon against a Chicago Fire team that was missing 4 of its starters. Although Peter Vermes’ hand/work is starting to show, it wasn’t enough to get the Wizards out of the winless streak and scoring drought that has plagued them for months already.
The Vermes Experiment Begins this weekend
By: Herschel |On Sunday the Wizards will take on the Fire at the CAB. It will mark Peter Vermes’ first game as a coach after taking over the position when Curt Onalfo was fired. From watching some of the practices and reading the reports from their friendly against a PDL team last week, it seems [...]
Wizards win Friendly Game vs. PDL Team
By: Herschel |Thanks to Mike at the Down the Byline for the report on today’s game. The Wizards played the KC Brass this morning and beat them 7-1 with 2 different teams starting each half. From the look of things new coach Pete Vermes seems to be sticking to most of the players Curt Onalfo [...]
Onalfo in his own words
By: Herschel |A few weeks back I wrote an entry on what I did not like about Curt Onalfo and his style of coaching. I was tough but I also tried to justify every one of my opinions on things I had seen on the field ever since he had taken over the team, especially in [...]
