On paper, this should be a winnable match for Sporting Kansas City this Saturday at 6:00 pm CDT. The New York Red Bulls have come out of the gate in 2016 misfiring on all cylinders—they’ve been shut out in three of their four games while failing to record a single shutout themselves, and their defense has been riddled with injuries.
On the other hand, we all (myself included) pretty much thought that last Saturday’s comedy of errors against Real Salt Lake was an eminently winnable match on paper, and look how that went.
This is MLS. Parity reigns supreme.
