Menace Eliminated from USOC 
Thursday, July 13, 2006, 04:57 PM
Last night at in front of an overcapacity crowd Menace was narrowly eliminated from the USOC by the KC Wizards. Menace held the game scoreless until the 63 minute when KC scored on us, 9 minutes later a freshly subbed on Disang earned us a corner kick and Whitsitt capitalized on it with a header to score on the Wizards.

Eddie Johnson was then subbed on, he played dirty but didn't scare our defense, getting owned by Klosterman several times. The Wizards barely managed to score their game winning goal before going into overtime, scoring in the last minute of stoppage time.

Fan participation was stupendous - with both the Red Army and the Wizard's fans group chanting at each other all game.

Hopefully we'll meet again next year.

Here is the starting line up


Here is Klosterman getting an unappreciated elbow to the face


Menace throw in late in the half, Wizards commited an unpunished handball in the box on this play





Here is the
Des Moines Register article. Here are the rest of the pictures


More Pictures, and celebration video to come later.
