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.

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.

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.
