Welcome to Pitch Pit. Your published-especially-randomly-in-the-summer-months series that focuses on a particularly significant matchday battle between a Sporting Kansas City player and a guy in the other color.
Kansas City (last place in the Western Conference) comes into tonight’s game – 7:33pm kickoff at Children’s Mercy Park – just looking for some positives, people! Its fans… just something to cheer about as their team has not scored in 417 straight minutes and is reeling at home with five straight losses.
The road to joy and high-fives and celebrations with and within the crowd goes through the midfield.
