Stephen Afrifa averages just 18 minutes per game this season for #SportingKC. Should Afrifa get more playing time?

Just had a chance to watch highlights of Sporting KC loss to Vancouver. It’s been a busy weekend for me & not able to write about the game as yet. Sporting’s players look like a team at the end of a long season who have given up. The problem is that this is just 8 games into the season. #sportingkc
I’m sure the club & fans read my writing & social media posts & think I’m a negative prick. That’s fine. However, I’m a realist about this. When it’s good, I’ll tell you so. When it’s bad, you’ll know. I won’t say something sucks and not explain why. MLS clubs aren’t used to this level of scrutiny.
Never thought I’d say it, but Meyer was the best option at CB. Of course, he gets better every game he misses injured. #skc #kcbaby #sportingkc
Borges came in with fanfare but is struggling to bed in. Yes, new country, new language, new everything. Problem is, he has often looked out of place at this level. @switchbacksfc.bsky.social CBs dominated SKC in midweek. Those guys could probably do the job over some of the current options.
With the team going backwards, there are likely established players in the team looking for an exit. Joveljic, Garcia, even Johnsen are probably looking around thinking, can I leave in July? Tigres were already interested in Joveljic.
There’s no reason for the average America soccer fan to go watch or support this team. Yes new players will arrive in the summer. But amidst a third straight losing season, why would players want to come to KC?
After the win over LA Galaxy, Sporting KC have gone backwards losing 5 straight, scoring 3 goals and conceding 16. Peter Mallouk says will get this turned around once he’s in power. First off, what does that mean in his mind? Second, I don’t think he understands how bad things are.
2/3 midfielders selected for the starting 11 just isn’t good enough for MLS. I get it. Try something new. But those players aren’t going to solve the problem. #VanvSKC #kcbaby #drewfc #sportingkc #mls
Vancouver are the league’s best team, but the numbers in attack have been similar in the last 5 losses regardless of who is playing. #VanvSKC #kcbaby #drewfc #sportingkc #mls
Just checked bet365’s odds for a Sporting KC win over Vancouver Whitecaps. Sporting is 18/1 to win. I could see Vancouver winning 6-0. A 6-0 Vancouver win is also 18/1 odds. I may back that.

Sadam Masereka was drafted by Sporting KC but not offered a contract. On Tuesday, he scored & assisted as @SwitchbacksFC beat SKC 3-0 in the USOC. Football writes the harshest scripts.

Colorado Springs Switchbacks completed 171 passes in Sporting KC's half. Sporting completed just 94 passes in the Switchbacks' half. That is absolutely terrible for the difference in levels between these teams. CSSB looked like the MLS side.

Is this the lowest point in Sporting Kansas City history?
3-0 U.S. Open Cup loss to the Colorado Springs Switchbacks says a lot… Absolutely embarrasing.

Sporting KC have 1 win all season.
Now they head to Colorado Springs in the Open Cup.
The Switchbacks have never beaten an MLS team…
Could that change tonight?

Sporting KC lost their third straight and the numbers are bad. 0 saves vs San Jose. Defensive errors. There are flashes in attack but the team struggles out of possesion.

Sporting KC looked better in attack but continued their bad defensive play. 10 goals conceded in the last three games compared to 3 scored. Check out my analysis at Drew FC.

That new contract is heavy on those hamstrings.
FC Cincinnati exploring a move for Neymar tells you everything about how clubs still get blinded by names over reality.
27 games since 2023. Constant injuries. Massive cost. Off-field baggage.

Will Timo Werner play on Saturday vs. Sporting KC? If so, he provides plenty of danger for the Wizards' fragile defense.

Sporting KC conceded 14 goals in 6 games.
San Jose have conceded… 1.
This could get ugly.

I’m so tired of sections of the football media claiming all fans hate VAR. No, just as many hate it as like it. The reasoning is always the same, it takes too long to get a call. It really doesn’t. I’d rather have an offside given or not give for a goal that takes 3 mins than the wrong call be made.
Watching an episode of Georgie and Mandy. Why is a guy drinking Schlitz, a northern Midwest beer and not Lone Star?
Sporting KC have more points than this time last year but are they actually better?
6 games in: same goals scored, worse defense, and a reliance on Joveljic.

My new Reporting KC article looks at attendances at Sporting KC games over the years. Are fans coming out like they did just a few years ago?

SKC have taken steps backwards in their last two games. It doesn’t feel like a rebuild. It feels like 2025 part 2.
