Sporting KC in Arizona: Whelmed, Duped, and Hoped (or 5 things I hate about Taming the preseason Shrew)

Friends, Kansas Citians, and Wizards’ Faithful,

Preseason for the 2020 edition of Sporting Kansas City season ended Saturday with a 2-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls (the retreaded NY/NJ Metrostars, remember). The match, and the preseason, was a bright light here, some dim play there, some rise here, some ultimate failure there. Thus, my current state of mind, riddled with opinions and takes I’m sure some will fiddle with. Be gentle, after all… I can be pretty right about some things (imagine a small, but perceptible wink.).

What the opposition giveth and taketh away… “Welcome, one mess is like to be your cheer.
