Know where he is. Hit him in the mouth.
Hey, this is a blog post. This is a blog about the Kansas City Wizards. That’s what we talk about in these blog posts here.
Seeing as how we’re moving to SB Nation this week (yes, it’s finally happening), I figured I should get back in the swing of things. Beginning Sunday night, the Wizards start a three games in seven days stretch that will likely determine their fate come season’s end. Come this time next week, we should be able to tell if they will have weakly pissed away a season that could have been so much more with a horrendous first dozen-or-so games, or they will have set themselves up to come back from said horrendous start on a miracle playoff run.
Either way, these three games will tell us where we go from here on out. Currently sitting behind 9 points (with three games in hand) behind Seattle, it’s must-win time. Some have said any result against Chivas will be good. I disagree; we need three points to keep pace with the Sounders. They’re far enough ahead in the standings, and with the way their CONCACAF Champions League group is going, they might just pack up shop there and focus on the league.
Must. Beat. Chivas.
How are we going to do that? That’s what I’m here for – to tell you.
Be Aggressive. B-E Aggressive.
Let’s remember that we’re the team that hasn’t played a competitive game since September 4. In the same time frame, Chivas has played three – two league and one friendly mid-week this week. If we come out flat the first 15-20 minutes and not winning every 50-50 ball, the boys just don’t have it in them and don’t want it badly enough.
If they can’t get up for this stretch run after two full weeks rest, it will be a damn shame.
