Wizards look to put out the Fire, gain first place
By: travis | April 20th, 2008Let’s here it for lame, clichéd headlines! Nothing better than talking about dousing the opposition, especially when they are so cleverly named. What’s neat about the game aside from that is the battle for first place. It is early in the season, but gaining early momentum for the long haul of the season is crucial. Well, not entirely, because the playoffs still determine the champion, but gaining confidence on the road is critical for the Wizards at this early juncture of the season. After all, they won’t play another game in Kansas City for two months. Brutal, if you’re a Wizards fan.
A few interesting tidbits to follow coming into this weekend’s match:
- Claudio Lopez has played in all but one minute of every game this season. So much for him being old. Although as the season progresses, will he wear himself down?
- Two months away from the CAB will be a challenge. How will the team respond?
Carlos Marinelli will probably miss today’s game, with Kurt Morsink replacing him as the attacking midfielder. Not sure if the Wizards will have the legs for this one, but I think they can steal a point.
Chicago 1-1 Kansas City
