Chivas

In the last month or so, it appeared as though the Wizards would face D.C. United in the playoffs. And during that month or so, the Wizards players were saying privately that they thought that was a good match-up for the team. Now they'll get Chivas USA. Haven't had a chance to talk with any of them in the last week or so, but that seems like a good match-up as well. The games this season have been competitive and Chivas will be without Ante Razov.

One other reason the Wizards liked the thought of playing D.C.: "No turf" as one player said. New York and New England each would have meant playing on artificial turf. That won't be the case in Carson.

One other thing: If you have any questions for me, drop me an e-mail at pgrathoff@kcstar.com. Some of you have posted questions/complaints. I'm always eager to talk with other fans.

I think we played Chivas really tough both times this year. We beat them at our place but it took a Zavagnin wonder-goal.

At their place, it took a last second goal from the now injured Razov to beat us. That said, it seems like our players have been confident all year, despite only winning a few games since the all-star break. Maybe a little humility and hard work would be in order.
