We’ve got all your quick links for Tuesday!

Around the Club

(MLSSoccer.com) The stoppage time equalizer is up for Goal of the Week.

(SportingKC.com) Felipe named Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks.

(MLSSoccer.com) What’s Wrong with the Sporting KC Defense? Really though, someone please tell me. Here is a breakdown of the nine goals they’ve conceded:

  • 7 came when SKC had numbers behind the ball and the defensive shape was set
  • The other 2 came on counters in transition
  • 7 came from a pass or cross from wide areas toward the box
  • 5 came when the opposing player making the pass or cross toward the goal area did not have pressure on him
  • 3 came when the ball made it through the front portion of the goal within reach of the first defender
  • 4 came in the play after an opposing midfielder could pick up his head without pressure
