Hey Everybody,

It’s been good training the last couple of days after having the weekend off.  After having the last 2 games on the East coast, it was great to get that weekend off to recharge the batteries before our next and last away game at Kansas City.  It is a big game for us, with a good result we can clinch our place in the play-offs.  At the beginning of the season, we said that our first goal was to make it into the play-offs.  You can’t win the whole thing unless you first make it into the knock out rounds.  Getting points this weekend will see that our first goal has been met.  Nobody wants to go into the last game against a very in form Dallas needing a result to get into the show.  At the same time I feel we are due to crush someone at home.  Lets just take all that out of the equation by winning at KC.

On a personal note, this was the team that I got sent off against earlier in the year. The only other time I have been sent off in my professional career, was my second year at Millwall, so I should be safe for another 16 years or so.  I would love to go to KC and do my part to help the team finish off the regular season with a great result.  I have all the confidence in the world that we can follow our great away result at Columbus with another performance in KC.  If training is anything to go by, the confidence should be high.

On a sad note, Charlie Davies a young striker on the US National team was involved in a terrible car crash early this morning in the DC area where one of the other passengers in the car was killed.  Charlie underwent a long surgery, but I was told his condition is not life threatening.  I wish him a successful recovery and send my deepest condolences to the family of the girl who lost her life in this tragic accident.

With the rainy season officially here, be safe on those wet roads Seattle.

Kasey
