Sporting KC had a fairly comprehensive win against Portland on Sunday and we go through all the key performances, including game changing substitutions from veterans(in this economy?).

It is a common refrain amongst the most online SKC fans that Peter Vermes' system is staid and boring. And while there is some merit to the argument that he is somewhat reticent to making wholesale changes, he has nuanced ideas about how to play soccer that are fairly progressive, and we try to unpack a few of them.

The KC Current are down bad(again). It feels like since Matt Potter's dismissal that his (interim?)replacement has struggled to have a positive impact or set up the team in a manner that takes best advantage of its best player(s).

Finally a quick preview of the 2 upcoming matches for SKC at home against Dallas, and the road trip to Vancouver on the weekend.
