The KC Wizards Rematch of 2005
Many of the Wizards players may not remember the last time the Minnesota Thunder played and defeated them in Kansas City. It was the famous Thunder 2005 US Open Cup run and Minnesota defeated the Wizards away 3-1. It was the third MLS team that the Thunder sent to shame. The team ended up losing in the semifinals of the competition to the LA Galaxy as they played away at the Home Depot. However, the trip to Kansas City was special as was the victory. Many of the Dark Cloud supporters made the trip on a chartered bus and other fans made the trip down on their own.
It was a memorable night and one I captured by photographing and then creating a video slide show commemorating the victory. Could this be another special night tonight? Interestingly enough, the first victory in that 2005 Open Cup run was against the Chicago Fire PDL team. We hadn’t played the Fire again until 2 weeks ago when we sent them to defeat again, 4-1. Coincidence? I hope not!
Enjoy and let’s rock the NSC tonight!

Come on Thunder!!! Will be rooting or them to knock off the Wizards! With a big win like this tonight, hopefully we can start to turn our season around.
Gutted after that game. I really thought the Thunder were going to pull it out. From watching the end on usllive.com it looked like an amazing atmosphere and quite a wild game. I hope all those fans will come back to see them beat the Timbers on Saturday.
