Now What? Starting from the top.

So now that the passion/disappointment has simmered a bit after a below mediocre season, I figured I’s sit and look at the team as a whole and write about what I thought should happen for 2010.

Night o’ Goats. Oh, and yes we are finally eliminated

By: Herschel | Comments 1 Comment

It’s bad enough we have had a horrible season. It’s bad enough that we played basically the same lineup that has given us little to cheer about throughout the season (with Zusi and Zoltan being the exceptions). Saturday we decided to give the Sounders some help by giving away 3 goals on [...]

No Win. No Playoffs. No more Vermes, please.

By: Herschel | Comments 14 Comments

Yes Kansas City played better yesterday than their last game against Colorado; yes they could have won to keep the slim playoff hopes alive. But NO we didn’t win; no we didn’t finish off a team that played almost 70 minutes a man down and missing one of their best players; no, we aren’t [...]

The Two Tales of Captain KC

By: Herschel | Comments 2 Comments

Jimmy Conrad had a night to remember, and at the same time a night to forget. At the end the Wizards kept their hopes alive with a come from behind win against Dallas that puts them 7 points behind the last playoff spot with 5 games left.

Ended a streak. Started a streak.

Back again. I missed out on commenting about our victory last Saturday against New England which brought some renewed enthusiasm to the KC faithful. This was mainly due to the fact that there was way too much soccer to watch with the WC qualifiers over the weekend. A good dose of soccer [...]

Close to a Record in Futility; and of course we lost

By: Herschel | Comments 8 Comments

Down a goal, up a man for about 60 minutes, against a Real Salt Lake team that was missing a few starters and decided to play only one forward, the Peter Vermes strategy called to have, on paper, 5 defenders on the field. Wow, and I thought before the game that things couldn’t get [...]

The drought continues, and I started hearing music in my head.

By: Herschel | Comments 2 Comments

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.

Lopez and long bombs. There’s a history

By: Herschel | Comments 4 Comments

So I did a little research (actually just went on YouTube) looking for some of Claudio Lopez’s past goals to compare them with the one he scored on Saturday. As luck would have it I found one very similar, this one he gave to the Valencia fans years back.

One Argentinean giveth, another taketh away. End result: we still can’t win.

By: Herschel | Comments 1 Comment

On a great evening for soccer in Kansas City those of us who were at the CAB witnessed a beautiful goal by Argentinean star Claudio Lopez but were only able to enjoy it for about 8 minutes before the other Argentinean on the team Santiago Hirsig gave an easy ball away to, of all people, [...]

Outcoached, Outplayed & Outscored. Out of the Superliga

By: Herschel | Comments 2 Comments

I was going to write this recap as soon as I got home last night after the game, but I decided to give myself a 12 hour “cool off” period so I wouldn’t be too overcritical of the team. That being said I feel about the same and things seem to have just gotten worse [...]
