How long will the Wizards be in this game?  I know very little about soccer but it seems this could be a bloodbath.  Might have to go.

July is preseason for the english teams.  And United will have their better players at the world cup.

The Wizards will be in the middle of their season and playing at their normal level.


That said  5-1 United.

Still too optimistic.

The Wizards have scored one goal in their last four games against MLS teams.

wonder how much time ManU's stars will get considering most of them will have just played in the World Cup.  if England and Portugal flop then most of their big guns will have lots of time to rest

The stars like Rooney and Nane, etc won't be playing. I'll guarantee that. This will be most of their reserves and maybe a sprinkle or two of known identities. Just too close to the World Cup but what do I know...

ManU bought Chicharito Hernandez from Mexico. Kids' set to join the club at the end of June. I've watched a lot of Mexico games lately, this kid is the real deal. Hope he plays.

Doubt he'll be there since he'll be in Mexicos World Cup squad. They'll play him when United plays in Mexico, but not in KC.

i'll be there for sure.  Not really worried about the team Man U will be putting on the field necessarily, it will just be nice to have a game people take somewhat seriously in KC again.

Hope this helps get more people excited about the Wizards and the new stadium they are building by the track in KC.

Heard 810 trying to get people excited about this stupid game....Danny asked how many world cup players play for the United.  The answer was a lot, but none of them will be playing for them when they come to KC.   :flush:

I'd rather see North Korea's national team come to KC.

I'm not sure that it's set in stone that none of their good players will be on the field.  I heard Rooney will be playing in the MLS all-star game.

did anyone think their starters were going to get a lot, if any, time on the field?

Any place to find cheaper tickets? I don't feel like paying $70 for lower level if it's not even going to be sold out.

Parking is like 25 bucks. I bought a pass when I bought the tickets, so I figure we'll save dough just carpooling.

I was down on that end too, we definitely got lucky with the 2 KC goals coming there and then all of the Man U attacks coming late in the second half.

I had a great time and it got me even more excited about the stadium opening next year.  I have to admit I almost felt bad for the MU fans.  I was on their forum before the match reading about the people flying in from all over the country.  Must have been disappointing to only see a penalty kick hit the back of the net for them.

Here's highlights:

Just put down two deposits for me and the lady for Wiz tix next year. I'm sure it'll bankrupt me.

I got close.  I called the ticket office but there were still too many unknowns for me to do the deposit.  First of all they couldn't tell me the prices yet, and secondly they don't know if they will be able to set up the schedule so all the games at the start of the year will be away so most of the home games will be at the new stadium.

I will undoubtedly be very jealous of your seats though and once they answer those questions, I may put down a couple deposits myself.

Maybe we could get a Katpak carpool up to some games next year?

I'm waiting a little longer to see how this Omar Bravo saga turns out.  If he signs longer than 1 season, I'm cool. Their schedule for next season won't be out for months, and I can't really wait THAT long.  Plus, I'm getting phone calls from the Wizards every other day, plus an email every week from their season-ticketholder consultant.  They won't leave me alone anymore. I'm just going to have to give in to their demands and pay my 100 bucks.    My demands?  Finish the fracking stadium BEFORE next season!!  I don't really want to have to drive past the new stadium, looking all new and beautiful, just to watch the Wizards play on a baseball field for a few more games next season.  Get that done for me Rob, and we will have no problems...

The hundred was just a deposit, the actual tickets will probably be over 300 something per ticket for any quality lower level seats.

I'm with you guys on the pricing and schedule mysteries. I'm sure they won't go up too much from this year just because I think that they want to attract as many of the new soccer fans as possible in order to hook them in for future years once the stadium is done.

That said, I'm probably wrong.

Also, it WILL totally suck to have to go to some games at community america before it opens next year. I wonder though if after you pick your seat at the new stadium if you get assigned seats or if you can pick ones for the community america games??
