Sporting Kansas City entered the 2016 season with expectations of being a player in the Western Conference. Returning an excellent midfield, a proven scorer and one of the best defensive generals in MLS, there was a lot to like about the makeup of the team. As MLS has entered the Copa America break, questions abound as to why this team is not getting results.
With only 14 goals in 16 games, the Sporting Kansas City attack has been the most disappointing part of the season. With only 18 given up, the defense has been on solid ground.
Most of the attention during the early going has been on midfielder Benny Feilhaber.
