Major League Soccer can be confusing sometimes. Until recently, both the Columbus Crew and the Kansas City Wizards — which compete in the same league and often in the same conference — were owned by Lamar and Clark Hunt. Despite their incestuous past, the Crew and the Wizards clash tonight at 7 at Community America Ballpark (1800 Village West Parkway in Kansas City, Kansas). The Crew features Argentinian Guillermo Barros Schelotto, legendary striker for the Boca Juniors and subject of the biography Guillermo, el terrible. Historia de un ídolo, the title of which sounds insulting only when not translated into English. Columbus, off to a torrid start, is rated second in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards, though struggling so far this year, remain a promising squad led by their own Argentinian star, striker Claudio "The Louse" López. Tickets cost $15 to $25. Call 913-328-2255.
