Unbeaten in their last three games, the resurgent Kansas City Wizards look to keep rolling on the Fourth of July when they take on FC Dallas at Pizza Hut Park (6:00 p.m. CT; HDNet). A win over Dallas would bring the Wizards back to the .500 mark and into the thick of the playoff race. A good choice if rain keeps you indoors tomorrow.
Coester’s will be closed for the holiday so no viewing action there tomorrow I’m sorry to say but how about next Thursday, July 10th when they take on Red Bull NY! There will be a double-header that evening, with KC vs Red Bull at 7:00 pm followed by LA Galaxy vs Chivas US at 10:00 pm. Both games should offer wide open play and I’m working on getting some specials set up, as well as some give aways. Add it to your calendar!
Continuing with the update:
The Kansas City Wizards have announced that forward Josh Wolff has rejoined the club, signing a 4-year contract. Wolff, 31, played 80 games with the Wizards from 2003-2006, scoring 27 goals (T5th in Wizards history) and tallying 20 assists (7th in Wizards history).
Wolff played most recently in 34 games over the last two seasons (2 goals) with 1860 Munich in the German Second Bundesliga and currently has 52 caps and 9 goals for the U.S. National Team.
They need the reinforcements, with a new game on the schedule:
The Kansas City Wizards rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the Carolina RailHawks of USL-1 4-2 Tuesday in extra time. Kansas City advances to the quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against the Seattle Sounders (USL-1). Kansas City will travel to Seattle next Tuesday for a match at Qwest Field, time still TBA. Forwards Ivan Trujillo and Claudio Lopez starred Saturday’s victory after coming on in the second half.
What about Jack Jewsbury you ask? Well, he’s been moved back to right back, from his holding midfield position, to solidify the defense. Must be working, with the 3 game unbeaten streak the Wizards are touting. Jack’s started all 13 games played this year, and he has a pair of goals and a pair of assists. I’m thinking rather than signing Wolff, they should have considered moving him up top and getting another defender. But I’m a mere scribe, although Ives appears to agree they could have chosen a different path. BTW, if you follow the link to Jack’s roster sheet, you’ll be able to see video of both of his goals and below that, a “promo video” that is all Jackie.
