Sporting Kansas City played to a thrilling 4-4 draw against the Houston Dynamo that consisted of an absolutely beautiful strike by Benny Feilhaber late into stoppage time to earn the point. I will admit, I didn’t expect a 4-4 thriller. I was expecting a 0-0 or maybe 1-0 game and thought that Sporting had blown […]

With more than 20% of the MLS season completed for Sporting Kansas City, what exactly can we dissect from the team so far? Probably not much to be honest.

Sporting Kansas City finally got on the winning side of the scoreboard, they defeated the newly created NYCFC 1-0 to give them their first loss in snowy Yankee Stadium.

Sporting Kansas City goes into this weekend in a bit of a rough patch to start the season. They drew the New York Red Bulls 1-1 after the Red Bulls scored to equalize three minutes after SKC scored. Then Sporting was on the unfortumate end of an egregious offside call in a 3-1 pounding by […]

Sporting Kansas City sure has changed a lot since their 2013 MLS Cup championship. They experienced their worst stretch since being the Wizards late last year and they limped into the Eastern Conference playoffs. Tired, injured and just flat out feeling defeated, SKC’s season ended in rather lackluster fashion as they lost to the New […]

In a cold, rainy night in Kansas City, a night where a city is watching the Kansas City Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles in the ALCS, a night where Landon Donovan is playing his last game as a member of the US National Team and a night where the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps are […]

What happened to Sporting Kansas City? The former MLS Cup Champions had everything going well and then… “it” hit the fan. The team hasn’t been the same since close to the World Cup. Since the beginning of August, Sporting KC are (2-2-6) in MLS play. To put it in perspective, when SKC began this slide, […]

I had the pleasure to go to New York City last week and got to go to the Sporting KC game vs. the Red Bulls and cheer my head off in The Cauldron. The 266 member strong Cauldron who was at Red Bull Arena all received free tickets to the game thanks to Sporting KC, who […]

Sporting Kansas City came into this DC United game looking extremely tired. They had games against Toronto (won 4-1) and in Nicaragua against Real Esteli (draw 1-1) in Champions League play. DC also had Champions League play but they were in DC and played against a weaker team so they weren’t worried about playing the […]

Sporting KC had an unbeaten streak going as far back as May 31. We all knew it would eventually end at some point and it would end after eight games in one of the most disheartening ways.

When Sporting Kansas City went up north of the border into Canada to face Toronto FC, SKC hadn’t lost an away game since May 31. That was also their last regular season loss. In what’s their “tough stretch” of the season due to missing Graham Zusi and Matt Besler to the World Cup and all […]

The month of May proved to be a horribly difficult month for Sporting Kansas City. Granted, in the first third of the month, SKC won their games against Columbus and Montreal but then things took a tremendous left turn.

Before this past Sunday’s game against the Columbus Crew, Sporting Kansas City celebrated as they received their rings from the MLS Cup championship last year. The rings look incredibly nice and I can’t be any happier for everyone with the organization. Those rings are more than just gold and diamonds. Those rings symbolize everything that […]

Well, just like Murphy’s Law, what could go wrong did go wrong for Sporting Kansas City this past weekend in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Sporting KC has seemed to struggle in New England. Except for a 1-0 win in 2012, SKC hadn’t won in New England since 2008. So while the experts predicted a Sporting victory or […]

Since the last post, Sporting Kansas City has had some up’s and down’s but those down’s seem to be as deep as the Mariana Trench. After having a 1-0 lead against Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions League, Sporting KC was, for lack of a better term, embarrassed in Mexico losing 5-1. I’m not going […]
