10 games in. That magical number that Peter Vermes is usually looking for to assess where his team stands. Going into 2022, he said 10 probably wouldn’t be enough with players joining so late (Nikola Vujnovic, Marinois Tzionis), but the early assessment isn’t good. Sporting Kansas City are just 2-6-2 (8 points) and down in 11th place. Technically they are one spot ahead of CONCACAF Champions League finalists, the Seattle Sounders, but they have three games in hand.
Things don’t get easier with the defending MLS Cup Champions next on the list. SKC head to New York City to take on the surging Citizens.
