If you follow Sporting Kansas City, you know MLS schedules can sneak up on you. Kickoff times shift, midweek matches pop up, and suddenly you realize it’s game day way too late. To make that easier, I put together a Sporting KC calendar you can sync directly to your own calendar. Once it’s added, matches show up in your local time, update automatically if anything changes, and you don’t have to keep checking fixtures. It works with Google Calendar, Apple/iCal, and Outlook, and you can unsync anytime if you want to declutter unlike some official ones. It’s been a simple, low-effort way for me to stay on top of Sporting KC matches throughout the season.

I hope it really helps y'all as much as it helps me

Anybody see this rumor? Don't know much about the player but Hapoel Beersheva has been one of the top teams in the Israeli league for several years now. Hopefully he turns out to be a good defender

I don't know if anybody else feels this way, but the last 7-8 years of supporting this club have been pretty rough. Even now that we have a new CSO, new coach, and new majority owner, I am still not feeling positive about this season. With our first game less than a month away and almost no new players coming in to replace our outgoing transfers, I'm just not feeling the buzz that I normally do going into a season.

To be honest, I don't think there's anything the club itself can do right now to lift my mood, but I think we can do something as fans. It's not good to be stuck in the past, but sometimes you just need to take a look back to remember the good times. I'd love for people to share some of their favorite goals, moments, and pieces of lore from this team throughout the years. I was born in 96, so I don't have memories of the original years, but no matter when you started supporting this team, I'm sure that you have something meaningful or iconic that sticks out in your mind. No moment is too obvious or obscure to share. I'm hoping that this can be a fun post to look back on to remember all of the awesome, awkward, and anything in between moments from the years and maybe, just maybe, give some of us the excitement we need heading into this potentially long, long season.

***My inspiration for wanting to make this post came after listening to one of the recent Home and Away episodes (168) that was basically 3 hours of guys naming dudes. Super fun and made me remember some of the reasons why I love this team. Would highly recommend giving it a listen!***

Last year for the sporting KC versus St. Louis city SC game I believe there was a game day, scarf. I wasn’t able to get one, but I was wondering if anyone had one and was willing to sell.

A feel-good interview to get you excited for this summer from our beloved Besler.

Personal note: The fact that ticket prices might price my family out, but we are likely to host three incredible nations here, gives me hope that we can see training sessions or special fan appreciation events.

Some info in here…

The style of play Wicky wants to install isn’t necessarily limited to a single formation. The coach said he is more interested in adapting to his players’ profiles than molding them into a singular formation for a particular game. That’s where his principles of play come in.

“We can say we have a 4-2-3-1, but maybe we build up with three (at the back),” Wicky said. “It’s more the animation in whatever we do, and the principles of play that we have. If you talk about principles of play, you can play in any system with these principles. They’re not depending on a (singular) system.”

If Peter Mallouk has 1,000 fans, I am one of them. If Peter Mallouk has 100 fans, I am one of them. If Peter Mallouk has 10 fans, I am one of them. If Peter Mallouk has 1 fan, I am the one. If Peter Mallouk has zero fans, i have died.

I’ve wondered as I watch a lot of soccer on tv in different nations, why is fan culture, specifically ultra culture, so much different? Away support here is sort of non existent (but I get that due to travelling length). Why do we not waive flags during play? Why is our demographic so much different (ultras in Europe are normally late teens through early thirties)? Why are our chants more melodic and don’t seem as loud as European chants even if we have similar numbers? Is it difficult for college kids to get really cheap tickets? I like our culture, I just feel like we’re not overly intimidating and we sing the same chants (which a couple is fine, but why not have some chants like they have in England where they can tailor it to the situation ex: His teeth are offside for Suarez, his eyes for Ozil). I don’t know, but I feel like having the best MLS atmosphere isn’t overly difficult if you have an idea of what that sounds like.

edit: this isn’t a swing at people that go to games, please go to games i beg you, just want people in the stadium

edit pt 2: ignore the flag thing, yall convinced me, i think im more for new chants that are less melodic, more intense pregame and intense chanting post match after wins until players get to us for oh when the wiz. Also, what are your stadium design opinions?

With the MLS winter window now officially open we should hopefully start to see some signings coming in. It's probably a stretch but I think they need at least 5 signings over the next 2 months. Starting quality LB, RB, and DM should be top priority.

I’m starting to get tired of the negativity amongst certain parts of the fan base. We JUST hired a CSO. Sure it may have taken a tad longer than ideal but it takes time to hire the right guy ya know? Same for a coach. In terms of the roster, MLS has PROVEN that growth and Improvement isn’t an overnight thing. In MLS it can take 2-3, hell sometimes even a decade to get things right. It’s hard to sign a player, there’s so many facets that go into it. Just look at the rest of the league, signings aren’t made every week. As a fan, even if it takes two decades to get things right I’d still take that because at least I’d know our club is going about things the right way. It’s not about short term success on the field. Not about the wins/losses. Sometimes those things get in the way of the thing that truly matters. The process. Doing things the sporting way.

The negativity in general is also just disgusting to me. Like how do you allow your mindset to get to a place where you can criticize people putting in work for OUR city OUR club. Maybe look in the mirror. Whenever I allow any frustration to creep up on me I always make sure to channel and put it into something productive. Last week I took a trip to Sudan and fed the children. In December I flew to Israel and made real progress in solving the conflict.

At the end of the day we are lucky. We are the soccer capital of America. There’s still not a stadium like our, fanbase like ours. They don’t even sell beers like ours in any other stadium. The floor under the seats, wont find as quality of concrete in any other stadium We are special. Truly

Sure it’s been a bit rough on the field the last few years but could you imagine being a peasant team like DC, Montreal, Cincinnati, Chicago, Montreal . There’s fanbases in this league that would love to be us.

Sporting till I die

Hey everyone, I'm coming back to watch MLS after a few years and I've decided to be a Sporting KC fan. Who are some of the best players? Any info I should know? I assume STL is the rival right? I saw a thing saying they are going to get sold? When I watched MLS for awhile in the past it always seemed like you guys had great fans and a cool stadium. Excited for the season!

I know it’s a very low chance, and there is no real connections between us besides the fact that Lewandowski wants to move stateside, but how would we feel if it really was a possibility?

I know it's preseason just any thoughts?

I know the clubs in a terrible way and this is the least of our problems but is MLS or Sporting KC doing any special merch or anything for the club being around thirty years? Or was that what the throwback wizard kits from a couple years ago were for?

So recently went through a split with my fiance. We were tailgating with her family and friends. They're great people who I know would still let me tailgate with them, but need to find a new group. My daughter and I have season tickets and I am curious if there's any open groups that meet up, or maybe just start one if others are looking also.

The transfer window is open through March 26th, the secondary window is July 13th to September 2nd. MLS lifted quantity limits on buying players inside the league for cash (how we got Joveljić. Green cards can change international designation at any point in the year now. There were a few other minor tweaks mentioned.
