Bueno, mis queridos aficionados(as) Tigres, ya es mitad de semana, ya se hablo mucho del repunte felino, de si debemos pensar en el no descenso o en la liguilla, ya se analizaron números, en fin, ya le dimos rienda suelta a nuestra alegría por haber salido de la crisis que tuvimos durante este torneo, ahora nos toca hablar de nuestro siguiente rival: Estudiantes ( antes Tecos) de la UAG.

Well, the comeback was a nice one that severely hampers D.C. United's playoff hopes. Claudio's stoppage-time PK sent the crowd here at CAB into a frenzy on Fan Appreciation Night. Check out the notables below for more, including info on Kamara's first goal for KC and Zusi's first MLS assist.

Primero que nada hay que dejar en claro ciertas cosas para poder dar una opinión acerca de estas nominaciones, que desde mi punto de vista están mal hechas.

Cuauhtémoc Blanco es y será el mejor futbolista mexicano de los últimos 10 años, porque ya sea en la Selección Mexicana como en el fútbol extranjero(en esta ocasión en Estados Unidos con el Chicago Fire) ha dado con creces su calidad que indiscutiblemente ha puesto muy en alto el nombre de nuestro país.

Kansas City dropped a 3-2 result to Seattle Sounders FC tonight at CAB after falling behind early and surrendering a late lead. The Wizards had been eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the day by other results but could have put Seattle's playoff future in question with a win. As it turned out, Sounders FC clinched a playoff berth after a great performance from Designated Player and #10 Freddie Ljungberg. Click to continue reading...

The same fixture last season saw Maldini and Kaka play their last home game for the Rossoneri. David Beckham was also part of the team that day. Even with such notables Milan still lost to a Roma side with little to play for. Milan must do alot better in this season's fixture with only a [...] Click to continue reading...

Un viernes más nos encontramos en el blog para recordar a uno de esos jugadores diferentes que quedarán para siempre en la memoria colectiva. Hoy es el turno de John Barnes, el extremo inglés de origen jamaicano que destacó en los ochenta y noventa en la Liga Inglesa.

The Wizards fell to Chivas USA 2-0 tonight, limiting our faint chances for the MLS Cup Playoffs. With Columbus beating NE earlier in the day, we had a chance to pull within three points of the final playoff spot but could not get three points at The Home Depot Center, something that is never easy for the road team.

Leo en varios medios que Perú hizo ruido en el fútbol argentino en dos oportunidades: en 1969, cuando el empate en 2 los clasificó por primera vez a un mundial (1970) con mérito propio causando la primera eliminación mundialista argentina también por mérito propio y en 1985 cuando el mismo score de empate (2-2) nos clasificó agónicamente a México 86.

After outshooting Colorado 18-12 and controlling most of the possession, the Wizards tied the Rapids tonight 0-0 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Mixed results around the League in terms of our playoff hopes, as the late NE win doesn't help, but the late Chicago tie does. Chivas has scored at the beginning of the second half at home to NY.

It was a fun one Saturday at CAB, as a sellout crowd watched our boys fight back to win 3-2 over FC Dallas. Hirsig and Conrad scored their first goals of the season. Hirsig's strike was his first in MLS. Lopez recorded assists 6 and 7, moving him into a tie for 6th in MLS. Josh Wolff scored the other goal, his 10th of the season. Click to continue reading...

That's right folks, we come away from a daunting three-game in eight-day trip to the East Coast with six points. PV, for one, was not satisfied with the haul. He told multiple reporters after the game that he felt we should have taken all nine. Check out the notables below, with plenty on Josh Wolff's latest tally and Kevin Hartman's exploits.

The Wizards dropped game 2 of the East Coach roadie 1-0 tonight to D.C. United at RFK. The guys generated multiple quality opportunities in the first half, but we couldn't put one away. Next up is New York on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT on Metro Sports.

Wolff gives his jersey to a fan after exiting the match.
Let this be the start of the Josh Wolff for Player of the Week campaign. Since no one else scored two goals, I think there's a pretty good chance he'll take home the award after scoring two and playing a part in all four of our goals tonight. Click to continue reading...

A win! Kansas City snapped the winless streak and the scoreless streak on their way to a 4-2 victory over the Revs at Gillette. It was our first four-goal game since May 26 of 2007. That also took place here at Gillette. Lots of fun notables tonight to read through. I'm sure I also missed some. Mike will likely fill us in on more tomorrow in his Sunday-after stats series.

We dropped another one 1-0 tonight, extending our goalless streak to 424 straight minutes. In the process, we outshot RSL 17-5, including an 8-3 advantage in shots on goal.

Chris Wondolowski's late snap header earned San Jose all three points Saturday night in a game that had been dominated by the goalkeepers until that point. Hartman made five saves to reach 1200 career stops. He is the first goalkeeper in MLS history to reach that mark. Cannon made seven saves for the clean sheet. Click to continue reading...

Empezamos el fin de semana con otra entrega a la sección de Leyendas, hoy le toca a un jugador que fue decisivo en los equipos en los que estuvo y que, por lo cerca que me queda, generó mucha polémica en su paso al Real Madrid: Predrag Mijatovic. Uno de los jugadores más completos de la década de los noventa. Click to continue reading...

The Wizards dropped a 2-0 result Sunday to the 2nd place Chicago Fire at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Peter Vermes' first game as Technical Director/Interim Head Coach. Chris Rolfe opened the scoring in the 13th minute, with Mike Banner sealing victory in the 89th. Zoltan made his Wizards debut in the 63rd minute, showing some nice touch and high work rate before he was shown a red card in the 85th. Click to continue reading...

That one sure stings. Not the way we wanted post #999 at Hillcrest Road to go. Hopefully post #1000 will be a little more cheery. Well, you guys saw the result. It was 6-0 to FC Dallas. Take a look at the notables below, and feel free to use the comment section. That's what it's there for. Highlight of the night is that Kevin Hartman made his 100th consecutive MLS start.

Some good quotes in there from everyone. The consensus is that the crowd was unbelievable, Lopez's shot was unbelievable and Hartman had a hell of a game.

Sorry folks for the late post, it's been a long day here at Gillette--in a great way. Though we only earned a single road point against the Revs, the U.S. came from behind to tie Haiti and win the group with Davy Arnaud scoring his first international goal. Then, Honduras won 4-0 over Grenada to advance to face Canada with Roger Espinoza scoring the 2nd goal and winning the Miller Lite Man of the Match award by media vote. Click to continue reading...

With a late-game PK (Hartman says he didn't touch Montero), Kansas City is eliminated from the 2009 Open Cup. We'll return to action quickly, heading to Gillette Stadium where we are 6-1-4 all-time against the Revs in the MLS regular season. If you didn't listen to the game, you can see the full Twitter recap at www. Click to continue reading...

Kansas City falls to Houston 1-0 on the day that Roger Espinoza and Davy Arnaud see time for their respective national teams. Kei Kamara scored the lone goal here in front of a sellout crowd of 10,385. We've sold out our last 5 and 7 on the season. Thanks to all the fans who came out tonight!

The first post of July comes quite late/early. Hopefully everything below makes sense, as Hillcrest is getting pretty tired. Feel free to ridicule the late-night post if errors abound.

Kansas City's first-ever SuperLiga appearance is now over after a 3-1 loss to Santos Laguna Sunday at sold-out CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Claudio Lopez bent a beautiful free kick over the wall and into the right side of the goal for his 1st SuperLiga tally and his 5th of the season. We now travel to Minnesota tomorrow for Tuesday's Open Cup match against the Minnesota Thunder. Click to continue reading...

A win and we're in, we know that. A tie and a Revs win, and we're in. After that, it gets trickier. If we tie and Atlas ties NE, then it comes down to total goals scored (by both being 0-0-3, we'd be even on goal differential at 0). If we're tied on total goals scored, it's a coin flip. Herc has been causing NE a lot of problems hasn't he? Click to continue reading...

Man. It's hot. Like seriously, unbelievably hot. Maybe that's just because the press box isn't air conditioned. But if it feels like this up here, I can't even imagine what it must have felt like running around on the field today. We saw some good bits of soccer from both teams, an outstanding save from Kevin Hartman and a couple of near-misses from Wizards players. Click to continue reading...

The crowd was great, the play was great. We generated a season-high 21 shots and scored a season-high three goals. Lots of props to the crowd tonight in the post-match quotes. Thanks to all of you that came out for our 3rd straight sellout, our 5th of the season. The sellout in a pair of back-to-back games, with the U. Click to continue reading...

Thanks to all the fans who came out for another sellout crowd at CommunityAmerica Ballpark even with the USA playing Honduras tonight in Chicago live on ESPN. The crowd was lively and supportive, though our boys didn't get the result tonight. Local product Andy Gruenebaum had a strong night for the crew, earning his first shutout in two seasons.

It's good to get out of the game with a point after falling to nine men, but obviously everyone wanted the full three points. Thanks to everyone that came out tonight, marking our 3rd sellout of the season. As you'll see below, the Wizards have now played in front of six sellout crowds this season, including three on the road. Click to continue reading...

That was a good one folks. Two great goals from Josh Wolff pushes him to the top of the MLS list, tied with Brian McBride with six goals on the year. Wolffie now has six goals in his last six games, including a pair of multi-goal performances. You'll see a ton of other factoids about Wolff's goals below in the notables. Click to continue reading...
