Sporting Fit is a mantra that Peter Vermes has instilled in his team as long as he’s managed Sporting Kansas City. The idea that you can wear down your opponent and outlast them. So far since their MLS Cup, Sporting has done the exact opposite of that. And they look to be having another August/October slump.
Now winless in their last four, the late season faltering has fans anxious that another knockout round exit could be in the cards. Sporting’s last three seasons have ended due to increasingly frustrating knockout round exits. As the season went on SKC looked to be on their way to hosting a game, or even competing for a bye.
