Lord 9f the rings TolkinWhat did you think about the MetroBulls sneaking in via a late pk?I support this thread and it's stupid team.
I'm a very casual soccer fan (pretty much watch World Cup and Euro Championships only), but the following of SKC is huge down here in Springfield, MO. They are doing something right on the marketing front anyway. I'd love to catch a game in KC at some point, hear the atmosphere is really good for MLS.Sporting Kansas City starts their 2023 playoff run on 10/25 against San Jose. This is the official thread. Sporting is gonna BRING THE HEAT!!!!!!!!
Let’s hear your thoughts MLS fans,
This is one of the oddities of US sporting formats. Making the playoffs is considered successful and yet we know the marginal teams were far from that.The only thing I don't like about SKC squeaking into the playoffs is it gives Vermes validation that what he is doing is working.
Not a fan of him right now and we have 4 more years of it after his extension. This team is old and slow and the defense is terrible.

Rooting for them and will be slightly paying attention.
To think at one point I wanted PV for USMNT coach. Now I want him to just go away.The only thing I don't like about SKC squeaking into the playoffs is it gives Vermes validation that what he is doing is working.

Flat out gorgeous weather here in NYC. Our game will have no weather related issues.. perfect for soccer and anything else.Been raining here all day and calling for more later. Maybe some thunderstorms.
I just hope they can get this in without delays.
Q39 gets my vote.Hey, while we’re here - I’ll be on a work trip in KC next week, and I’ve been tasked with finding a BBQ place for dinner. There’ll be around 8 of us. Prefer to ask here before Googling. Go Sporting! Smash (checks notes) San Jose!

Whoah, I'll be in KC next week as well for work. Cornhole? We could invite a local like ChiefD as well.Hey, while we’re here - I’ll be on a work trip in KC next week, and I’ve been tasked with finding a BBQ place for dinner. There’ll be around 8 of us.

Yeah, that's a good call on Jack Stack.Whoah, I'll be in KC next week as well for work. Cornhole?

Jack Stack can also handle crowds. Get a reservation quick tho.
Another option that can work, County Road Ice House in Power and Light serves Joe's BBQ. Shouldn't been too hard to accommodate a crowd on a weeknight. The food isn't as good as at original Joe's (IMO), but I've never seen it overly busy.
yes. I just posted the Tolkin beauty in the US thread. They are romping Charlotte tonight.Red Bulls with some magnificent goals.
that was fabulous!Holy Crap what a goal by Charlotte!
He has a Daryl Dike look to him. Massive looking player. His name is Patrick Agyemang.Who is that big stallion for Charlotte? Another nice goal.

Congrats on advancing KC fans. Should be a fun match up with St Louis. The atmosphere should be great in this series.
It is an uncanny skill set he has. He might be the best the league has ever seen in this area.Nobody wins against Melia when the game goes to PKs.
if they crash out, you should maybe change it to an MLS General Playoff thread.....This thread lives another week.
I will do that.if they crash out, you should maybe change it to an MLS General Playoff thread.....This thread lives another week.
It's especially odd because he's short. GK's always seem to be better shot stoppers when they are taller, but this difference is greater (IMO) when it comes to PKs.It is an uncanny skill set he has.

Rimando was also short and quite good at PK's if memory serves. I agree it is an odd combo.It's especially odd because he's short.

Oddly my google results say he is 6'1", I've seen him in person at games several times and I think he's more like 5'10".
Survive and advance. This thread lives another week.
St Louis gonna destroy Sporting KC. We are gonna have tired legs that series.
I think if this were a one-game playoff SKC could win that game. I just don't see any way Kansas City can win two of three with St. Louis. Your team is legit good.Survive and advance. This thread lives another week.

Hope you are right. I have this fear that they had such a great run during the regular season and are going to choke it in the playoffs. I hope I'm wrong.
Go STL
I have only watched a handful of games this year. The ones I've seen, and things I've read on others, we break down into these things:I think if this were a one-game playoff SKC could win that game.

No idea about AB's. I've been there a few times, but no idea how busy it will be on a random Wednesday night. I bet you'll be fine with 7.@ChiefD @Jayrod @Poke_4_Life thanks for the bbq recs. I think I’m leaning towards Arthur Bryant’s on Brooklyn. It doesn’t look like they do reservations. Think we’ll have any issues getting in - about 7 of us on a Wednesday?
I’m open to a cornhole but I think it’s unlikely. I’m likely to be pretty busy the whole time - it’s a conference and every night there’s some networking thing, so if I can do it’ll be pretty last minute with me coming in here and saying NOW! LET’S GO GO GO.

I'm pretty much free every night next week as well (I think). Let me know where you are staying and I can meet you somewhere. The Ice House isn't a bad place to be. Food is decent and pretty laid back.No idea about AB's. I've been there a few times, but no idea how busy it will be on a random Wednesday night.

I'm free every night but Wednesday. Is your conference downtown? I'm staying downtown, near the convention center.
Sorry, I meant 7 people. Place looks pretty small on the internet. And yeah, I personally put myself in charge of finding a place because if it was anybody else, they would have picked whatever the equivalent of Sbarro’s is.Yeah, you should be good at 7:00 on a Wednesday.
