Another week and another win for Sporting Kansas City. Their defeat of the Seattle Sounders at home puts them at six straight wins at home and seven straight unbeaten overall. They have a pace that is behind only CF Montreal since August 1st and a few result changes here or there and they’d be one of the most dangerous teams entering the playoffs.
But alas, they are relegated to playing the role of spoiler one more time. This time, it won’t have the potential to be as satisfying as being the nail in the coffin of the Sounders season, keeping them out of the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time in their clubs history.
