The New York Red Bulls have three points through four games. THREE. A pretty abysmal start to a season. Especially, following a Supporter's Shield win and maintaining nine of the starting XI. Ten if you include the injured Damien Perrinelle.
On the other hand, the defending US Open Cup champions, Sporting Kansas City are sitting in second place in the West with nine points. They were #1 in the MLS Power Rankings in Weeks 3 & 4 until last week's loss to Real Salt Lake. Now these two teams moving in opposite directions meet up on Saturday night.
