Scott Sealy goal gives Soca Warriors a 1-0 win over Azerbaijan at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Friday night..... The teams meet again today at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, from 3.30 pm. Sealy is an intelligent striker, scored and set up Gary Glasgow with a sitter, linked well with Cornell Glen and showed great fight ! Still a little naive re off-sides and must work on settling down faster, but DEFINITELY a class act. Will improve with MLS experience,,,, he's solid !!!!!! http://www.socawarriors.net
I don't know if I'm more excited about the Scott Sealy goal, or the fact that Gary Glasgow is still alive.
Hah hah hah.. well Glasgow did miss ALOT of goals on Friday, but he still looks impressive on the runs, I do however think that Sealy will become a more prolific goal scorer than Glasgow was ?? Glasgow should play as an attacking midfielder or winger ??? he looks great on the runs for a person who just came back from a broken leg.. Why did you guys sell him anyway ???
I'm pretty sure it had something to do with a) international player limit. b) His "fancy footwork-to-goals" ratio.
well, it's good for us kc fans that Sealy is becoming a regular for T&T, maybe we'll se him when the USMNT visits T&T for their WCQ. This experience will help Sealy in his ROTY campaign. Also, for the poll, how can yu have Jack Jewsbury on it and not Davy Arnaud? Arnaud is my pick to be the Wizards' top goal scorer for '05.
How about none of the above? It's a sign of "going overboard" to fail to include our best scorer from last year but include not 1 but 2 rookies who have never set foot on the field. I hope both of these picks help, but everyone should remember that we had a forward who was the #4 pick overall last year and where is he now? Gansler is big on developing talent given time. I look for KC to package one of these picks for a later trade. This team presently has at least 6 forwards going into camp. Too many. Look for another name mid-fielder being captured.
well, Matt Taylor wasn't expected to be much. I remember everyone being dissapointed and saying he could've been picked in the 2nd or 3rd round, while Scott Sealy is being picked for ROTY by many. But I can't beleive Arnaud is not on this list... Anyway, I just voted for Josh Wolff.
I think there are just too many other things that could happen this season that could change who the leading scorer is going to be. 1. How many times will Wolff miss a match to be with the Nats? 2. Wolff was healthy for the majority of the season last year, can he stay healthy for this season? 3. Is the above article a sign that Sealy could be with T&T for WCQ? And if so, how many games is he going to miss because of them? 4. How will each of the rookies adjust to the pros, while Sealy is considered one of the most ready players, how will he actually play? 5. If both Wolff and Sealy are gone, and Pore and Davy play well together, do you bump Sealy down the depth charts until Pore's form falls? 6. And my last one, how much PT is Gansler going to give the two rookies. I'm not going to make a prediction on who will be the leading scorer, but we are going to need multiple scorers this season, especially if we do lose Wolff and Sealy for qualifiers.
well, it is hard to figure all that out, and it's almost impossible to predict who will win MLS cup, but people still do it.
Of the 5 I took Wolff. I might still have taken him even with Davy on the list. Davy is an everyday guy not likely to be Nat invited at this stage, unlike Wolff. Also, as there are 2 more teams in the league scoring will certainly go up, just as it did last time MLS went from 10 to 12. As Davy will be in the lineup, reasonably he should face poor defenses more often. Still, doing something again directly after the first time ("sophomore jinx") is harder. It also remains that Davy the final half of the season didn't post the same numbers regardless of reason. Arnaud will have to raise his game to have similar numbers. For the record Preki is the only Wizard who has repeated (twice) as top goal scorer for KC: Preki '96 - 18 Preki '97 - 12 MoJo '98 - 11 Preki '99 - 7 Molnar '00 - 12 Lassiter '01 - 7 Preki/Klein '02 - 7 Preki '03 - 12 Wolff '04 - 10 Last thing the original description of Sealy sounds an awful lot like the postmortem on Digital Takawira. The kneejerk response is that level will not be enough. We'll see.
Ihave a wild guess as to why Arnaud wasn't included in the poll: Kick The Ball isn't a Wizards fan, but a T&T fan. This thread was mainly supposed to be about Sealy. Maybe he doesn't know everything about the Wizards.
Sort of like why Jack Jewsbury was included. I mean, he scored a few great goals. But no way he even comes close to being a leading scorer.
WTF?!? He was the #4 overall draft pick. Being #4 in the draft brings some pretty big expectations - maybe not in the rookie season, but it's definitely an indication of expectation.
Sealy - "too high". Sealy has good early reviews from the pundits. Still, that wouldn't be out of the question in the CJ/BG era. '04 -KC trades #7 pick, Quill, and Talley to move up to #4 and a conditional R2 pick. - R1 Matt Taylor (now on Chivas' roster, gone in dispersal draft - Noonan, Dempsey, Wingert, Grabavoy available) R2 - Will Hesmer R4 - Jay Alberts R5 - Justin Detter, Ryan Barber Why will KC fail? If Hesmer amounts to nothing more than the 1-0 win in the Columbus jersey v the Mexican team @ Arrowhead; then this draft and the inability to make anything of it in the near term will absolutely be the root cause of the failure. '03 - traded 13th pick to SJ for Jimmy Conrad, no R1 pick (Ralph, Dunivant only standouts) - at #33 in R4 Taylor Graham -at #43 in R5 Jack Jewsbury '02 - KC traded 5th pick (Kelly Gray) to CHI for Diego Gutierrez - at #32 in R3 O'neil Pert F - at #37 Chris Brunt D - R4 Dom DePra - R5 Davy Arnaud MIA/TB Dispersal - Picked up Preki ridiculously as an R2 pick to correct the single worst personel decision in KCW & MLS history. '01 - Picked last as Champions, R1 Jose Burciaga (Ching and Eddie Johnson available) - R2 Andrew Gregor (Buddle, Ziadie, Curtin, Waibel) - noone of note in R3-6 '00 - #2 R1 Nick Garcia, #9 John Wilson (Victorine, Convey, Pierce) - #12 R2 Peter Byarhunga (Conway GK, Rimando, Bo, Zags) - R3 Zavagnin (Daniel Alvarez, Wolyniec) So you have Garcia, Conrad, Guti, some dumb luck (R5 Davy), one wasted #1, one mostly injured #1, some posibilities still from low rounds, and generally a track record of limited success in finding young talent with ample opportunity for improvement. Adding to it are announcements that other teams are expanding their rosters by signing foreign players under TI and discovery picks. KC presumably has discovery slots available yet nothing to date. Also no pre-season camp abroad announced either. I mention it because KC has signed players in the past from these tours; without it KC is limited to the reach of CJ, not an ideal situation.
