    Man United handed first loss on U.S. tour

    In the aftermath of the Kansas City Wizards' 2-1 win over mighty Manchester United, Coach Peter Vermes tried to be humble. Central defender Jimmy Conrad did not.

    ''MLS owns the city of Manchester right now,'' crowed Conrad, who was sent off in the 39th minute.

    A crowd of 52,342 — largest ever to see a soccer match in Kansas City — watched Davy Arnaud and Kei Kamara score first-half goals, then saw the Wizards fend off repeated shots on goal in the second half as the MLS team handed the Red Devils their first loss in a four-city tour of the United States.

    Just read that the Wizards sold 700 season tickets the day after beating Man United...whoa.

    And the part of the story that I missed was that the Wizards are moving into a new stadium next June. Still a big deal for ticket sales though.
