Eddie Johnson and the Kansas City Wizards are hot. Eddie “The Juice” Johnson just made Major League Soccer history by being the first player to score hat tricks in consecutive games.
The Wizards topped the league leading New York Red Bulls on Saturday where Johnson got his second consecutive hat trick. The Wizads get some time off now. Their next game isn’t until June 16th when they travel to New York to take on the Red Bulls there. Maybe The Juice can make it a hat trick of hat tricks then!
Last year the Wizards and Red Bulls played on the last day of league games to decide who got the bottom playoff spot in the East, which the Red Bulls won. This year it seems they might be playing for the top spot in the league.

EJ won’t be able to make it a hattrick of hattricks on the 16th, he’ll be away with the national team for the Gold Cup.
Ah Yes, the Gold Cup, just about forgot about that. It is too bad cause that would be a nice record to have, a hat trick of hat tricks! Would it still count as consecutive games if he gets one his first game back after Gold Cup duty?
