The Kansas City Wizards were one of the hottest teams early in this 2007 MLS season. Now they are one of the teams still looking for a playoff spot with only 2 weeks remaining in the regular season.
Last year the Wizards’ post season schedule was not decided until the last day of the regular season. That day the Wizards and the New York Red Bulls played in New York. A Wizards win or a draw would have sent the Wizards into the playoffs and left the Red Bulls out. The Red Bulls did get the victory and the last playoff spot.
This year the Red Bulls are in and the Wizards can clinch a spot with a victory when they face each other tomorrow in NY. The other difference is that if the Red Bulls beat the Wizards again, they still have a chance next weekend when they go into FC Dallas.
Even 2 losses for the wizards could see them on to the playoffs if 2 other teams are not able to pass them in the standings. Currently Chicago, Colorado, Columbus and LA all have a possibility of moving up.
