Superliga weekend once again. KC vs. Santos
By: Herschel | June 26th, 2009KC takes on Santos this Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at Community America Ballpark. By the time the game takes place KC will know what result it needs to qualify to the next round. A win and KC is in regardless; a tie will have the Wizards hoping for a New England win or at least a tie (goal differential will come into play at that time).
Although not as hot as last Sunday, the temperature around game time should be over 85 degrees and both teams (especially KC) have had a long week so I would hope to see be some changes in the Wizards lineup. What those changes (if any) are going to be I have no clue. My guess would be that Claudio Lopez, Jimmy Conrad, Hercules Gomez and Lance Watson will be again starting, but it’s hard to say. I just hope Coach Onalfo will use his reserve players to give some of the starters a rest.
Hopefully there will be no injuries or players over worked, especially now that KC will be losing 3 players to Gold Cup call ups; we can’t afford to lose anyone else. There is no reason for the starters that played both games not to get a rest on Sunday so that they can still be available for the game in Minnesota next week if they are needed. (I still remember having to use them in North Carolina and against Colorado last year)
I expect it to be a tough match because of the heat and because Santos is a very physical team (2 players supended in 2 games) that will come out looking for the win to keep their hopes alive. It should not be a high scoring game.
Possible lineup:
Hartman, Watson, Hohlbein, Conrad, Besler, Jewsbury, Arnaud, Hirsig, Gomez, Lopez , Wolff.
Final Score:
KC –1 (Wolff)
Santos– 0
