Double dose of news this afternoon: Kansas City missed out on U.S. international Sal Zizzo as a weighted lottery led him to Chivas USA and there are now $20 upper bowl tickets for the Manchester United-Kansas City Wizards game at Arrowhead.
Chivas, who had the third best chance (behind Kansas City and DC United) in the lottery, landed Zizzo, a 23-year-old U.S. youth international. He went to UCLA and is from California. Zizzo, who started all five matches for the USA at the 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, had been playing in Germany since 2007 until his contract with Hannover 96 expired this summer. His stay in the Bundesliga was marred by a left knee injury suffered during training in October 2009.Locally, the Wizards and Chiefs announced Wednesday that additional upper-level tickets have been released for Sunday's friendly with Manchester United. The tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 or at any area Ticketmaster outlet. Special packages are also available through the Kansas City Wizards and can be purchased by calling 1-888-4KC-GOAL."Fan response for our match against Manchester United has been tremendous,” Wizards President Robb Heineman said. “The great crowd we are expecting Sunday will reinforce that Kansas City is a premier soccer city and that the New Arrowhead Stadium will make an ideal host venue if the FIFA World Cup comes to the United States in 2018 or 2022."Read more The Full 90
