While the offseason was short, it still feels like too long since we’ve seen Sporting Kansas City on a soccer pitch. Well that wait is coming to an end. It’s probably best to keep expectations reasonable as it’s only the second preseason game (the USMNT game was last week behind closed doors). Additionally, all three young international signings hadn’t arrived as of Tuesday’s press conference and there were some injuries.
For the game, Sporting KC will face off with the defending Western Conference champions, the Colorado Rapids (that still feels weird to type).
