Suddenly Sporting Kansas City aren’t looking so hot. They have lost two in a row (both on the road) and have only won once in their last five games. Despite that they are still second in the MLS Western Conference (behind the Houston Dynamo).
A key reason for the drop off from Sporting KC is likely two fold. First, they are tired. They just completed a brutal stretch of games that saw them play three times in eight days on two separate occasions over a three week period. Included in that stretch was a game in Orlando followed by a game in Vancouver just a week apart.
