Down the Byline: Soccer Capital of America?

http://www.downthebyline.com/2013/07/soccer-capital-of-america.html

Monday, July 29, 2013. Soccer Capital of America? Nickname. Even St. Louis could make a claim as the capital. Although they don't have a team now, St. Louis was the center of US soccer for a while and was " America's first soccer capital. But while they've done well to sell out games with big name European teams, the lack of a professional outdoor team in the city hurts any claim it has to the title now. So is Kansas City the "Soccer Capital of America"? This week ahead of the game. Labels: all star game.

A collective of opinions on the Wizards and the Kansas City soccer community. For all deserve the right to express themselves. Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Wizards Get 3rd Billing. Today the Wizards released their promotion for the first game of the season. This fact has caused quite a stir on bigsoccer, with many people not in favor of the idea. The team has come back with a response on their official blog, Hillcrest Road. This is a press release that the team sent out to the media. What's that say ...

Down the Byline: Roger Espinoza's No Good Very Bad Week

http://www.downthebyline.com/2015/08/roger-espinozas-no-good-very-bad-week.html

Thursday, August 06, 2015. Roger Espinoza's No Good Very Bad Week. It's not been a good week for Sporting KC's Roger Espinoza. First came his one game suspension by the disciplinary committee for his challenge on Tyler Deric in this past Saturday's game against the Houston Dynamo. The injury will keep Espinoza out for 10 weeks, which would put him returning in mid-October, right near the end of the regular season, he'll miss at least 12 games. According to Espinoza though. For Espinoza's punch on Brad Da...

Wednesday, August 05, 2015. Stephenson Loaned to San Antonio - Former SKC Wizards Update.

Columbus - Started and played 90 minutes in Columbu...

Down the Byline: Silly Season Rumors

http://www.downthebyline.com/2015/07/silly-season-rumors.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. First reports out of Portugal. Quintilla is listed as an attacking midfielder, but I'd guess that he'd also get time on the wing, or at least tried out there. Probably similar to how Toni Dovale last year got time at both attacking midfield and on the wing. With no reinforcements no silverware again this year.

Down the Byline: Referee the Talking Point in KC Draw with Houston

http://www.downthebyline.com/2015/08/referee-talking-point-in-kc-draw-with.html

Sunday, August 02, 2015. Referee the Talking Point in KC Draw with Houston. But after the game, once the KC pool reporter was able to ask his three questions and one follow up, Gonzalez said that the handling was not deliberate, and his arm was judged to have been in a natural playing position. Wizards Man of the Match - Benny Feilhaber. Continues to be the difference maker that KC needs. A great free kick set up the goal and could have had another assist or two with some better finishing.

Down the Byline: Match Day 20: A Busy Month Starts

http://www.downthebyline.com/2015/07/match-day-20-busy-month-starts.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. Match Day 20: A Busy Month Starts. Myers - Ellis - Besler - Dia. Zusi - Dwyer - Nemeth. Key Match Up - Soni Mustivar vs Giles Barnes. Barnes has returned from national team duty and will likely slot in with Bruin as a forward or right behind him. If he's lined up behind Bruin, Mustivar will be tasked with keeping an eye on Barnes throughout the game. This will be key because as Barnes showed in the Gold Cup, giving him a free kick around the box is very dangerous. SKC - 1 (Dwyer).

Down the Byline: #TBT KC All Star MVP Performance

http://www.downthebyline.com/2015/07/tbt-kc-all-star-mvp-performance.html

Thursday, July 30, 2015. TBT KC All Star MVP Performance. With the all star game on Wednesday this past week, I thought I'd take a look at the last time a Kansas City player scored in the all star game and the only time a KC player has been named the all star game MVP. In 1999, KC was suffering through their worst season in club history, but KC still had two players named to the all star team for the Western Conference as Alexi Lalas and Preki were named to the team in San Diego.
