Still a little time to come to Power and Light and check out the #FIFAWorldCup trophy!

I have. SKC won a game last year without taking a shot (own goal by LA Galaxy)
Manu Garcia said, despite the physical nature of the games and the fouls he suffered, he feels okay health-wise after the game.
He just "pushed it too hard" last weekend and had to sit out Tuesday. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
He didn't say it, but he seemed to imply this is the roster they have, saying he has "no choice."
Wicky talked about with youth, ideally he'd only have one or two young guys out there, but right now it's 5-6 guys. So there are more opportunities to grow, but it also doesn't leave them as much of a chance to succeed. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
I asked Wicky about not trying to play out of the back so consistently, especially considering the short rest
He said they want to find a "balance." They don't want to play one way only.
He also talked about the team needing to play with "character and personality." #SportingKC
Wicky said Ceilo got kicked and was in pain so they subbed him off early and Reynolds had some pain in his hamstring. That is why subs were made just a few minutes into the half. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Wicky: "I think besides the mistake, the bad pass, Cielo did well."
Wicky thought he responded well after this mistake.
"That's what we want to see from a young player."
#SportingKC #VANvSKC
Wicky: "[The players] don't see this right now, but I can do something with this performance."
He said there was nothing he could take from Tuesday. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Wildly, SKC actually outperformed their xGA (expected goals allowed). #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Probably KC's best chance of the night. Dejan is open if James can pick out that pass. Joveljic clearly frustrated that he didn't. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Full time. 3-0 in the first half and neither team scores in the second.
Vancouver let off a bit, but had chances. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Another big save from Pulskamp. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Final sub. Capita off and Shapi on in the 87th minute. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Another double sub. Miller on for Borges. Afrifa on for Harris. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Berhalter in the book for a challenge on Manu.
He was slow to get up, but he's playing on. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Double sub. Cielo off for Berg Johnsen. Ian James on for Reynolds. Could be a back three now or just James playing RB. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Massive save from Pulskamp! #SportingKC #VANvSKC
2.8 xG to 0.0
16 shots to 0
And of course, 3-0 Vancouver. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Here is that no look pass.
John also can't put Cielo in that spot. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Another near miss for Vancouver. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Capita gets pulled down by Cubas when while on a breakaway. Has to be a yellow. Common foul given. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
I missed it. I did get this head drop.

Nearly a 4th. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Blatant trip by Harris and he's the first player in the book. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Agyabeng clearly thinks it's going out of bounds but Sabbi doesn't give up on it and crosses it in for a 3rd goal. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Not shown is the no-look pass from Cielo right to Vancouver. No one steps and it's 2-0... #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Manu absolutely crushed... no call. He comes up rubbing his left knee (I'm not sure what knee he has an injury on). #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Very noticeable direction switch off Reynolds arm. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
Vancouver open the scoring in the 13th minute. KC just kept diving in and missing. And Reynolds is lucky because he handles the ball and it would have been a red, but it went in the goal instead. #SportingKC #VANvSKC
