We captured a win for the second straight day, beating Velez Sarsfield 3-2 today in rainy/chilly Argentina. We trailed at half 2-1, then scored in the 84th and 87th to capture the victory. Lineups and details below. Trujillo is with the club now but is sleeping after a long flight. Glad to hear he's joined up with the boys!

13th- Goal Velez Sarsfield (sorry no details on goal-scorers or lineups for Velez)
21st- Goal Ryan Pore. Marinelli helps create a goal for the second straight day, combining with Sealy at the top of the area before putting Pore through for a mini-breakaway. Pore then beat the 'keeper to level at 1.
38th- Goal Velez Sarsfield
84th- Goal Eloy Colombano. Colombano collected a ball near the right corner of the penalty area and curled a left-footed shot up and over the 'keeper to the back upper-90 to tie the match at 2.

Future game updates:
We are now definitely playing River Plate Friday morning and have a game tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday against San Lorenzo. We're getting some games in against quality competition down there.

More Than Jimmy
First of all, let us apologize for not wishing captain and defender Jimmy Conrad a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tuesday as he turned the big 3-1. Our apologies Jimmy; hope it was a great one.
Second, it looks like Jimmy isn't the only player with a knack for words. Trialist forward Andrew DiCicco has been writing a journal for San Diego State University's website that you can see here. Andrew is a very articulate young man who is fighting hard for a roster spot on our team. He's also quite the xBox player and takes part in some intense Halo 3 battles. Good luck Andrew. Keep on writin'.

Happy Valentine's Day
Sorry for the off day yesterday, Hillcrest was departing Bradenton for wintry Kansas City and travel got a little hectic. The boys were off yesterday, but training starts up again about now. A few quick notes from the game Tuesday:
Conrad and DiCicco were both banged up against D.C. United , but tests on both came back negative. Conrad has a deep contusion on his upper arm and DiCicco slightly tweaked a leg muscle.
Hohlbein did not play Tuesday due to soreness, but it was just a precautionary measure. He is fine.
We play split squad matches against Toronto and Chicago Saturday at 10 a.m. ET. Most of the guys who played longer than 30 minutes yesterday will play Toronto. Those who did not will play Chicago. Players will be able to play in both matches if the coaches deem it useful.
Everyone arrives in KC Saturday night. We will resume training Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. CT. practices are open to the public and will either be at KC Sports Lodge or our beautiful Swope Park Training Center. Details will be out next Monday.
Can't think of what to give your honey on Valentine's Day? How about Kansas City Wizards tickets?! You've seen the schedule chalk full of Saturday night games. See the ticket info here.

Scrimmage vs U-17s
Happy Sunday everyone, hopefully everyone has big plans for that big game in the other sport called football. Our boys took on the U.S. U-17s today in a scrimmage in Bradenton, winning 3-0 on first half goals by Carlos Marinelli, Kurt Morsink and Andrew DiCicco, trialist and son of Tony DiCicco the U.S. Women's U-20 head coach and former Women's full national team manager.
We played a 3-5-2 this morning. Starting lineup (right to left):
Kevin Hartman (GK), Jonathan Leathers, Aaron Hohlbein, Tyson Wahl, Lance Watson, Kerry Zavagnin (holding), Carlos Marinelli (attacking), Kurt Morsink (holding), Michael Harrington, Scott Sealy, Eloy Colombano.
30 minutes in, Ryan Raybould replaced Watson, Roger Espinoza replaced Harrington and DiCicco replaced Sealy.
To start the second half, our lineup looked like this (still 3-5-2 and still right to left, as it always will be on here):
Boris Pardo (GK), Matt Marquess, Yomby William, Rauwshan McKenzie, Raybould, Amir Lowery (holding), Ryan Pore (attacking), Ryan McMahen (holding), Espinoza, DiCicco, Tom Gray.
15 minutes into the second half, Chance Myers entered for Espinoza, Michael Kraus entered for Raybould. 30 minutes in, Pat Healy entered for Lowery.
The goals were pretty. Marinelli worked a give-and-go with Sealy at the top of the box for the first goal in the 10th minute. In the 35th, Morsink cracked a 30+ yard bomb. In the 40th, we countered quickly, sending the ball wide for Espinoza who sent in a lazer of a cross that DiCicco just had to redirect into the net from close range.
We outshot the U-17s 9-1 in the first and 8-2 in the second. Great to see Myers and Colombano get into the action.
