· Following the match, Kansas City sits 7-9-8, 29 pts in sole possession of 6th place in the Eastern Conference. Click to continue reading...

The LA Galaxy is running out of time. They lost to the KC Wizards, 0-2 in Arrowhead stadium as thousands came to see David Beckham. This was a team that they had beaten comfortably in the past. It is too early in Bruce Arena's managerial career with the Galaxy to judge whether this will put them back on track but it is safe to say a slow start is not the turnaround that Tim Leiwecke, the CEO of AEG was looking for.

Tomorrow afternoon, the Wizards return to Arrowhead Stadium to take on David Beckham and the Galaxy at 4 pm. Both team's are struggling right now, as since the all star break, the two are a combined 1-7-5. LA hasn't won since June. KC's only win since the all star break was a game against Chivas USA that they probably should have only gotten a point out of. Click to continue reading...

Hello all, after a comment in a post below, I wanted to come on and remind everyone that Saturday's game will be played at 4 p.m. CT at Arrowhead Stadium. The match was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. CT at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, but it was moved in mid-July. Tell all your friends and family who may be planning to attend to make sure they know of the change. Click to continue reading...

Think that Beckham fella knows a thing or two about show-business? He's not the only soccer player around who has starred in a hit movie. While none of these flicks are named after someone on our roster, the guys got a little nostalgic recently and went back in time to reenact their favorite scenes from 80s movies.

Captain Kansas City and Captain England teamed up last month at BMO Field. They'll be facing off Sept. 13 at Arrowhead.

Alright guys, the moment teeny-boppers and soccer moms alike have been waiting for. Sr. David Beckham will be making his first-ever appearance in Kansas City (injury, yellow-card suspension and a bunch of other things permitting, of course). Click to continue reading...

Very early Wednesday morning I posted that the Wizards game against LA would be moved to Arrowhead. Today the announcement has been made official by the team. The game has been officially moved to 4 pm with the Chiefs game against the Raiders the next day.

Individual game tickets for the game have not gone on sale yet, but people can get tickets to the game through a special ticket offer. Click to continue reading...

I have this U2 bootleg of them playing a tiny club gig (for U2 at least) at New York's Irving Plaza. After the 1st song Bono says that putting them on that stage was akin "trying to land a 747 on your front lawn". I think that same statement could be applied to Brand Beckham making an appearance at KC's Community America Ballpark. Click to continue reading...

Hey all, just sent out a press release announcing the LA Galaxy game on September 13 has been moved to Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff will now by 4 p.m. CT instead of 7 p.m. CT. The Chiefs home opener is the next day, so the game was bumped up, in part, to allow more time for grounds crews and stadium crews to change things over. Click to continue reading...

Thanks to WildcatWizard on bigsoccer for bringing this to my attention. On the Wizards schedule on their website, they now have a symbol next to the game at home against the Galaxy. At the bottom of the schedule it says that the symbol means that the game will be played at Arrowhead. The game has also been moved to 4 pm on Saturday, up from the 7 pm start time that is listed on the schedule, this has likely been done to give Arrowhead staff more time to get the field ready for the Chiefs game the next day.

I have no proof of this, but the guess all season has been that the game between KC and the LA Galaxy on September 13th would be moved to the Wizards former home of Arrowhead Stadium. There was speculation back in February that the Wizards could play two games at Arrowhead this season. And while nothing has been officially announced, it seems like Arrowhead is going to be the site. Click to continue reading...

There are exciting 0-0 ties, like USA-Argentina, and then there are scoreless draws like Real Salt Lake-Kansas City Wizards.

It wasn't pretty, and fans probably didn't leave Rice-Eccles excited about a match they'll remember for a long time, but the result was a fair one for two teams struggling to find consistency and keep pace with the league's better teams.
