The bodies aren’t yet cold on the 2016 season and we are already moving on to 2017. The offseason is weirdly my favorite part of the year. There are a couple reasons for this. First, once the MLS Cup has been played everyone reverts back to being undefeated. Second, Sporting Kansas City play their preseason games in Tucson, Arizona (and I live near Phoenix, Arizona).
So basically, it’s out of being completely selfish that I love the offseason. But who doesn’t love the optimism that the offseason brings? Well good news for me (and probably at least a couple other SKC fans), as Sporting KC are returning to Arizona for the 2017 Desert Diamond Cup.
