Sporting Kansas City (10-5-10, 40 points) enters the final week of August occupying third place in Major League Soccer's Western Conference after Saturday's match at the Houston Dynamo (10-8-8, 38 points) was postponed due to Hurricane Harvey. The fixture has been rescheduled for Oct. 11 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, meaning Sporting KC won't take the field again until Sept. 6 when the club visits New York City FC (14-7-5, 47 points) at Yankee Stadium.
Sporting Kansas City defenders Matt Besler and Graham Zusi were named to the U.S. Men’s National Team on Sunday for the resumption of FIFA World Cup Qualifying in CONCACAF’s Hexagonal.
