Disappointment doesn’t begin to describe the 20th birthday party of the first game in Sporting Kansas City history. Today Sporting KC looked a lot like the sloppy play the team was known for in the early years. This wasn’t the evolved MLS that is in its 21st season.
Right out of the gate Sporting KC showed they were trying to rest their stars. Yes Matt Besler and Brad Davis were dealing with injuries, but they were in the 18. Others, like Soni Mustivar and Chance Myers were too injured to even be on the bench. The surprise was Dom Dwyer and Benny Feilhaber weren’t starters tonight either.
