Jimmy Conrad, the former USMNT captain who played his entire MLS career in San Jose and KC, said he’ll be watching Wednesday’s playoff game like a “mom who just wants both teams to have fun.”…
Former San Jose Earthquakes and KC Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad, , plays for the USMNT and fights off Panama’s Jorge Luis Dely Valdes for the ball during the first half of the Gold Cup final at Giants Stadium Sunday, July 24, 2005, in East Rutherford, N.J. As the San Jose Earthquakes take the field in Kansas City for a 6:30 p.m.
But when it comes to which side Conrad favors, he’s a bit nervous to say that Kansas City has his heart. “Having been on the Quakes when Luchi got drafted to us, there was something about him,” Conrad said. “He was a student of the game. The details mattered to him. I really appreciate that about him then and I probably appreciate it even more now that he’s the coach. You can see his personality on the team. There’s a sense of care and a warmth to him. Luchi is a special human being.”
“Kansas City has done really well, and we recognize that,” Gonzalez said Tuesday. “Probably the perception and the expectation out there is that because we’re not home and they are, and with their form and their talent, that we aren’t supposed to get through. We’ll embrace that. It’ll drive our motivation and mentality.”
Wednesday night, there will be no extra time. If the game is tied after 90 minutes, it goes straight to PKs. They finished their regular season 10-14-10. Argentinian winger Cristian Espinoza led the squad with 13 goals and 13 assists, participating in 67% of the team’s goals, tied for highest in MLS this season and the highest percentage in club history.
