Columbus Preview - Return of the Wolff?
By: travis |That’s probably the biggest question surrounding tonight’s game against the Crew. Will Josh Wolff make his KC return? He’s itching to do so. And if he does, how much of an impact will he have? Clearly, this is a team that needs goals in order to have any kind of shot at the playoffs. Trading [...]
A break at last
By: travis |It’s been a busy week for the Wizards, so this weekend provided a bit of a respite before this week’s game against Columbus. The friendly against Atlas AC was a 2-1 to the Wizards, although because of the nature of the game the result wasn’t important - it was a chance for a partner club [...]
Looking up the table
By: travis |Another win. And two goals scored? How about that. This was the first league match that KC scored two goals in since April 5. That is not good. Plain and simple. The fact the Jimmy Conrad now leads the Wizards in goals? Also not encouraging. But the three points tonight means that KC is now [...]
Off to LA Galaxy
By: travis |LA is stop number 5 on the current road trip. While the results haven’t been the best - the team has a 1-2-1 record - last week saw their two game losing streak come to an end. A return to Kansas City is only a few weeks away as well.
The Galaxy, while soft at the [...]
Jimmy Conrad likes taking interviews
By: travis |The man is everywhere. The captain of the Wizards has recently appeared here on The Offside, wrote a love letter to referees, and now a Q & A has popped up on MLSnet.com. As usual, Jimmy brings the quote and offers a few interesting tidbits about his life. My favorite is below, as he talks [...]

I mean, is it possible that I could disagree with 20,000 Toronto fans using [...]
New York 1-1 Kansas City
By: travis |A lot to say after this one. After watching it, I have mixed feelings over the Wizards blowing the shot at three points, having escaped with a draw, or unlucky to have missed out on a win after being a man up - and conceding then as well. All very similar yet still different reactions. [...]
Odds & Ends
By: travis |As the Wizards hold practice in preparation for this weekend’s match against the Crew, time to take a look at what’s going on in KC:
Down the byline brings us an update on the stadium situation. Apparently, the legislation for funding is stuck somewhere between the State and the House legislation. The funding needs to [...]
What? Turning the ball over in midfield doesn’t help you win?
By: travis |Not so surprising if you’ve watched the game, but the story here is how careless the Wizards were with the ball - that and a fantastic free kick by Amado Guevara. After watching the game from the weekend, here’s a few things stuck out to me:
The Wizards shot themselves in the foot a number of [...]
Wizards head to Canada
By: travis |Match number two of the road trip brings the Wizards to BMO Field to face Toronto. Winners of their past two, they’re no doubt going to be tough for the Wizards. Amado Guevara and Laurent Robert, two fairly recent acquisitions have been key cogs to their recent form. It’ll be a big test for KC, [...]
