Sporting KC kicks off the 2024 season at the Houston Dynamo on Saturday and we've got a over an hour long preview with everything you need to know... plus all the questions you need to be asking.

18 players are in the final year of their contract. No replacement for Gadi Kinda. No depth and an injury anywhere on the field would seem to be a disaster.

It's almost the same team, only everyone is a year older.

But that's the confusing part of talking about this team right now.

It's almost the same team.

The same team that was the best in the West most of the season. The same team that gave us a legendary run and some of the most fun we've ever had beating STL in the playoffs.

So did they really need to spend millions this offseason? Only time will tell.

We go line-by-line through the roster asking the biggest questions headed into the season.

Is this the year of the Big Bear? Can Erik Thommy lead the midfield to the top of the West? Who is the first winger off the bench?

Plus we discuss the pressure put on Peter Vermes after struggling heavily the last two years and the Gavin Wilkinson saga this offseason.
