Three days. That’s all the time between a road meltdown against the Portland Timbers before Sporting Kansas City have to come home, with two suspended players, and try to prove that was out of character. Sadly, their record shows otherwise this year so far. They are just 2-7-3 in league play and one point above the last place Vancouver Whitecaps who have two games in hand. They are worst in MLS in points per game.
A 7-2 beating they took on Saturday can go one of two ways. It can be the wakeup call that their previously abysmal record somehow wasn’t.
