Three Premier League sides took the pitch on Wednesday in their respective Carling Cup Second Round matches. Playing much weaker opponents, there were goals aplenty for England's top-flight squads. Even giving several youngsters a run out, all three sides disposed of their opponents with relative ease.

After falling behind amidst a chorus of boos, England's captain Steven Gerrard went all Bruce Banner turns Incredible Hulk on poor Hungary. That frustration and torment endured by England's underachieving side inspired Gerrard to remind us that he is still capable of being one of the world's best.

One of the first "it's not really stats related, but I want to talk about it" stories on the site was Eddie Johnson's success during Fulham's summer tour of Australia last year. He was getting meaningful minutes, teaming up well, and sounding like he was putting together the kind of case that earns a striker playing time.

Liverpool striker Krisztian Nemeth is apparently keen to stay on at Anfield and establish himself in the first team, according to the player's agent Tibor Pataky.
The 21-year-old has already reportedly been the subject of a £2 million offer from Italian oufit Lecce, but Pataky maintains that his client wants to succeed on Merseyside, although a short-term loan deal could be an option. Click to continue reading...

Tomorrow the Wizards take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. I'll be there live for my first MLS road trip of the year and my first trip to Rio Tinto (or Salt Lake in general outside their airport). Real Salt Lake comes into the game having won their last 4 league games, including 3 at home. So Salt Lake comes into this game on a very big high. Click to continue reading...

Almost to another Wizards home game, this weekend against the Colorado Rapids. Since there's no big news today out, and we're still waiting word on the extent of Zoltan Hercegfalvi's and Kei Kamara's injuries from the game against AC St. Louis, I thought I'd do something fun. Above is my ticket for the Wizards vs Colorado game this Saturday. Click to continue reading...

Playing without four starters from last week's season opener against DC (Davy Arnaud, Stephane Auvray, Ryan Smith, and Josh Wolff) the Wizards traveled to St. Louis to take on AC St. Louis in the second leg of their home and home series last night. With those 4 out, starts were given to Teal Bunbury, Zoltan Hercegfalvi, Santiago Hirsig, and Craig Rocastle. Click to continue reading...

Just wanted to post a few extra shots from practice.Zoltan freezes the ball with his stare?While it may look like Nielsen missed the save, it actually has already been deflected down...I do not know this keepers name yet but I liked the shot...Alex Horwath making a save...Kronberg pouncing on a loose ball during a scrimmage (if a guy this tall can pounce?

The Wizards have made themselves compliant with the MLS roster regulations today as they made their last cut from their roster. The unfortunate player is forward, Michael Kraus. In the past few preseason games that I had seen, Kraus was not playing up top or in the midfield where he'd been playing lately, but in defense as a wingback. Click to continue reading...

It looks like the Wizards are definitely making a move to sign Indian national team player, Sunil Chhetri. Word out of India today is that Chhetri's I-League club, Dempo SC has released the striker so that he can make his move to MLS and the Kansas City Wizards. Chhetri will join what appears to be a growing strike force for KC. Click to continue reading...

Luis' Gil in Kansas City was not long at all. Today the Wizards announced that they had traded Gil to Real Salt Lake in exchange for a second round draft pick, an international slot, and a portion of any future transfer fee. According to Robb Heineman via twitter today, he was unable to speak with Gil and attempt to convince him to come to KC, so the team worked out a deal with Salt Lake. Click to continue reading...

The Wizards have continued to remake their roster this year and it appears that the Wizards have signed two new players. First, Ives Galarcep is reporting that the Wizards have signed another trialist, this time it's one of the Wizards two Moldovan trialists, Igor Kostrov, a 22 year old midfielder/forward who has been playing in Israel for Maccabi Herzliya, he scored 2 goals this season.

Training went well again this morning. We broke up into 3 teams and played 11 v 11 full-field (12 minute games). This was the first time that we've gone full-field this year. It was a good opportunity to get the guys moving together and getting used to playing in a full-sided atmosphere as we build towards our first game tomorrow night. Click to continue reading...

For those that missed the tweets earlier today, the Wizards have re-signed forward, Kei Kamara. Of the four players that were still out of contract when preseason had started, Kamara was the guy that I thought the least likely to re-sign as he seemed set on going abroad. As preseason started, though, I changed my mind, not because of Kamara specifically, but because of things involving the Wizards other 3 unsigned players (Kevin Hartman, Eric Kronberg, and Claudio Lopez).

Robb Heineman tweeted that Kei Kamara signed a new contract with the Wizards today. Camp get even more crowded now. Kamara, Wolff, Zoltan, Bunbury, Cristman, Kraus, Arnaud and a couple players trying out can all play forward.Kamara was acquired from Houston last year for Abe Thompson and allocation money.
