We need this one! And it will be tough. Big crowd for fireworks and they help the home team. My lineup would be: Bo Zotinca, Thomas, Garcia, Victorine Klein, Gutierrez, Zavagnin, Jewsbury Preki, Arnaud Subs: Hesmer, Roberts, Branan, Sealy, Burciaga Sealy comes on for Preki at 60. Burciaga for Jewsbury at 70 -- Victorine moves up to midfield. Wizards win 2-1. I like to be optomistic.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Ah, yes, very nice. I know that Sasha is a versatile player, but does he have the speed needed to play out there in Jose's spot. That would be my only question. If Sasha can hack it, the lineup is perfect. If not, he sits. Put Jack out there already! I was optimistic we'd take a big jump in the standings with a string of winnable games in Columbus, Colorado and Salt Lake. So far, that isn't going as well as I'd like. We're the better team, but that hasn't meant much lately.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Yeah we got a small gift from the league playing the four worst teams in the league in four of five games and five of seven, but so far we've taken 5 points from 3 of those 5.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. Jose is a starter, and that ain't going to change. He made a mistake last game, but he's our starting left back and should be. Furthermore, changing the back four any more than we have to is not a good idea. Continuity is key with defenses, and we need it. Losing Conrad is bad enough, but taking out another one? First, that's not a smart idea. Second, I'd be very surprised to see it happen. And predicting a Wizards win is bold. Colorado has a great record on July 4th games at home. A draw in this game would be a small victory. But Colorado isn't that good, so maybe we can steal a win. Again, anyone interested in coming over on the 4th to watch the game to welcome to. I got my couchs in my basement this week, so there's plenty of room to sit and watch the game now on the bigscreen.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame I think he's a defensive liability if he's put out at LB. He's been effective the past couple games, why make that change now? As much as Burciaga is frustrating, I think anyone in else in our lineup is a big downgrade there.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame If we win this game, we will end up making the playoffs If we lose, we will miss the playoffs this year If we tie, I will jump off a bridge 5-1 Sealy, Klein, Cunningham, Sealy, Arnaud, Jewsbury
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Those are bold statements. I'm pretty sure this game doesn't carry that much weight.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Just a gut feeling on the 3 "if" statements I couldn't tell ya where I got that score from though
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Great, I just remembered we are away and it's the 4th of July game I would take back my prediction but it's already out there It's floating
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Yep, I agree. The only reason I say he stays is because we don't have anyone else that can play there.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame Folks that have high definition digital can watch the game on HDNET. No other TV.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame The Fox and Hound in independence just confirmed to me that they will be televising this game.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame OK I am pissed. I have the Direct Kick package on Dish and I don't see it listed as being on. I do not see the value in getting the package anymore. Use to be most of the MLS games were on the package and every year it seems like fewer and fewer games are on the package. Especially fewer wizards games
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame IF people would get off their asses and come to Lees Summit, they could watch the game. And the fireworks! 816-305-8133 Come over.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame DUH. I do realize that. But it seems fewer games are on of every team this year. When I first purchased the packed 3 or 4 years ago, you could see nearly every MLS Game every week. As each season has passed, fewer games are on each week.
Re: KC @ Colorado Pregame HDNet is broadcasting the game so it should be on the DK package. I noticed as well it wasn't on there. Thank goodness for HDNet.
