You have seen it all before. You already know how Sporting Kansas City is going to play. They will constantly hack you, daring the referee to do his job. Give an inch, they’ll take a foot. That’s exactly what they did against the Sounders last weekend with great success in the first half as the referees allowed their “tactics.” This clearly frustrated the Sounders into some big mistakes and made for an ugly, choppy match. Other than a few players, our team looked listless, especially in the first half when the Sounders seemed unprepared and unable to play anything like cohesive soccer.
