 Expansion Draft/Science of Soccer

Well, the day is here that we will potentially lose one player to Seattle Sounders FC via the expansion draft. Who will it be? Ives says Hartman. Hopefully our roster remains in tact, but there are some quality players left off our protected list. We'll find out around 12:45 p.m. CT.

Also, our friend Pete Grathoff of the Star did a science of sports story last week on the bend of a soccer ball a la David Beckham, Dwayne De Rosario or Roberto Carlos. Read about it here. Embedded below are the YouTube clips of goals Grathoff mentions in his story. It's a nice little read about the science behind our sport.

WOW!:


Um...WOW again!

  1. Thanks for the link! I would've never found the article on the Star's site because it's not listed as a Wizards article.
