Sporting KC fell 2-1 at the hands of the defending champs, LAFC, on Saturday night to end a four-game unbeaten run. We start off our conversation on the topic of diving and referees. Daniel Salloi was denied a penalty for staying on his feet. Are referees incentivizing players to dive?

We look at the tactics, what went wrong, and Khiry Shelton at right back. Additionally, Erik Thommy was deployed on the wing for the first time in KC.

The MLS standings are still looking much nicer for SKC, although they're back below the playoff line. We talk about the Los Angeles Galaxy game on Wednesday. And we also try to talk about the Current without talking about their most recent game.
