Sporting Kansas City flamed out of the COVID Cup MLS is Back Tournament with a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union on Thursday. There are real questions to be answered regarding the team’s defense, depth and willingness to use some squad rotation. All of which will be heavily tested if the proposed return to play plan goes forward.
The good news is that Sporting KC are first in the Western Conference regular season standings and second in the Supporter’s Shield standings behind only the Columbus Crew (also eliminated from MLS is Back).
