Now What?

By: Herschel | Comments 7 Comments

I decided not to comment on our 2-0 loss against Chivas since my arguments are the same as the Houston tie except for the Zoltan goal. This week we didn’t even score and it would seem that playing those players in a slump (Wolff, Arnaud, Jewsbury) has brought nothing good.

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.

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 Vermes Experiment Begins this weekend

By: Herschel | Comments 1 Comment

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 [...]

A look back on Sunday and Tuesday, plus a comment

By: Herschel | Comments 3 Comments

I want to apologize for not writing anything on the Sunday loss to Houston or on the Tuesday loss to Seattle until now but I’m battling a nasty “non swine flu” flu virus that knocked me out off work Tuesday afternoon and all of Wednesday.

KC-HOU Pregame. Hoping to give Houston a problem

By: Herschel | Comments 7 Comments

On this 4th of July weekend Houston comes into KC hoping to improve on their goalless effort from last weekend against one of the worst defenses in the league (LA’s), while KC, tries to make it 2 wins in a row in the league after a horrible Superliga performance.

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 [...]

Third time’s a charm. KC-NE Recap

By: Herschel | Comments 1 Comment

For the 3rd straight game KC opponents went a man down and this time the finally figured out a way to Wizards step on the gas and take advantage of the extra man; they easily controlled the game from that moment on earning a well deserved win; their second one in 8 games.

KC-Crew Recap. One Word: UGLY

By: Herschel | Comments No Comments

Saturday night’s game at the CAB was just that. Ugly. The Wizards showed little creativity, little effort and little of anything as they fell (and got swept for the season) by the Columbus Crew 2-0. Here is my recap and commentary.

Off to Utah. KC-RSL (Pre-Game)

By: Herschel | Comments No Comments

It off to the West to meet the up and down Real Salt Lake who it seems expended all it’s ammunition in a 6-0 defeat of New England in April and now is on a slide, having scored only 3 goals in 4 games. It’s going to be a tough visit for the Wizards [...]
