Sporting KC eliminated from MLS playoffs

SKC going through their Marty Schottenheimer years.

Still better than anything in KC sports outside of Jayhawk basketball

Can't really diss them. Their organization is the epitome of what Royals and Chiefs fans dream of.

Gochiefs is becoming denise

FYP.

Honestly, as soon as that **** started talking about SKC I started to say, "Okay, enough. I no longer give a shit about them."

Soccer?

Meow

So why is it that any time any team loses a playoff game they are called chokers? No, they just lost. It happens.

I don't follow them too much, but what in the **** is the deal with that playoff format? There's no home field advantage it seems.

Lameass playoff format if you ask me....Wow

They were the best team in the regular season.

This is the equivalent of the 13-3 Chiefs blowing it all twice in the 90s.

Choking bitches.

Dude, you're just now starting to understand the game of football and have recently had a few solid takes regarding the Chiefs/NFL.

Don't even attempt to dive into soccer, because it took you nearly 10 years on this board to understand football. At that rate, it will take you 20+ to understand soccer, and even that's a generous prediction.

Stick to gifs, anti-Pioli propaganda, and football.

Is this part of Carls 4 year plan?

Vermes, the manager? Yeah, he choked. They players didn't, though. We could walk you through the tactics of the SKC v Houston matchup, but I know you're not actually interested.

Vermes is Kinnear's bitch. It would be hilarious to watch if it didn't mean that the team got dragged down with him in the process.

Oh, and only in Chiefs fandom would it be kosher for fans of a 1-7 last place team, who has never held a lead in a single game all season, to be LOLing at a team losing in the PLAYOFFS.

I'll take conference winning, playoff attending, tournament champion chokers any day...

heh, gotta love it when the "I told ya So's" come out to rub it in.


Yea, they didnt win the title, but the important thing is they are winners and have built a clear trust and solid relationship with their fanbase.

Something Royals and Chiefs fans like me can only dream about........

This.

How ironic is this?


****ing traitor.

At the end of day who cares. It is just soccer.

2 posts in 1 year. Heh.

At the end of the day it's just sports. Who cares about any of it? Those who have a passion for them and live and breath them do. I am proud to be one of them.

Who cares? People that follow the team care.

It's just like how people care about the Chiefs (or the Broncos or whoever). The only difference is that the number of followers is smaller.

In this town and country. Not worldwide. :D

It's been clearly demonstrated that anti-soccer folks don't care about the number of international supporters so I never even touch that argument.

I'm not a "soccer hater" but that's a BS statement.

Winning titles IS the important thing. Unless you're saying it's OK to just get to the playoffs.

Well, SKC DID win a title this year and it was one they'd set as a top priority in order to get into CONCACAF next year. So while they did not win the MLS title or both titles they were champions of an important tournament this year.

More importantly, they sold out all but one game (early March really cold) and they won the conference during regular season play again for the second year in a row.

While they fell short again of the MLS title, their trajectory is upward and they can no way hang their heads for a bad season. They picked a terrible time to have a horrible game on Sunday but that can't erase all the goals they set and achieved. They aren't taking baby steps towards meeting their goals, they are taking giant leaps. :clap::clap::clap:

I know but mine was a factual statement that they can ignore or reject all they want. Doesn't make it not true. :D:D:D

Of course winning a title is the most important thing. Your right.

But would you rather have a loser every year, (like the Royals for 20 years and the Chiefs since 2007) or a team that competes in the playoffs every year?

They choked down in Houston. That was pathetic.

Loochy is absolutely right here. Why would we care what Euro trash and third world countries love. Does not make it any more legit in our eyes. I think the Sporting should be congratulated for an excellent season and people on this board should not wallow in their failure. But at the same time to gloat over the Sporting success over the Chiefs current failures in akin to a University sucking in football, but their fans coming back to other fans harassing them with "yeah, but our women's volleyball team rocks". They are just not on the same level within the American sports world if you get my drift.

This.

Yeah but down in Houston, they played like SHIIIIT.

It looked like the rec leagues I play in. No control.

I don't know, last year they won their first playoff set, so I'm not going to get too upset about losing to a team in the playoffs that we never seem to win against.

Not yet. It's all happening though.

They lost a road game and then dominated last night at home and won... damn chokers. :spock:

If sporting actually had strikers - the game yesterday would have been 4-0 at least... we dont have any.

That wasn't the basis of your statement with which I disagreed. I'm not trying to argue or insult you (not saying you are either). Of course one would rather be one of the top teams in the league year in and year out, but without championships it really doesn't matter much IMO, much like the Chiefs in 2010 when they won the AFC West.

A Chiefs fan started this thread. Brilliant.

and I think he is also a Rangers fan, which is also a team that hasn't won a championship.

I hate soccer. A lot.

I keep reading that Sporting Kansas City are Hookers....oh Yeah

And a former Chiefs fan who became a Raider fan is citing "Loyalty" in reference to her soccer fandom.

Incredible season. Had a blast.

US Open Cup Champions. Qualified for CONCACAF Champions League. Franchise record wins.

They will be right at the top next year bringing it again. This season was a joy even with the tough finish.

They were the best team in their conference. If they were the best team in the regular season they would have won the supporters shield. They came in 2nd on points.

wasn't really a choke job they lost 2-1 on agg because they had a crappy game in Houston, and im not making excuses they missed some wide open shots last night but there where a few questionable calls by the ref inside Houston's box tho. still no excuse should have finished them.

Yup. I was in Houston. That second goal changed everything.

That was a foul on Chance Myers that should have resulted in a penalty kick. There is no questioning that. The ref swallowed his whistle because he didn't want to be the one to decide the outcome of the game. We're staring at a whole lot of possibilities, were that call actually made.

Robb is already in talks with strikers. This team will be strongly supplemented for next year.

Absolute music to our(my) ears.

Is this you? Saw you interviewed by my friend Kristin on pregame last night

Can someone explain the two game goal aggregate format to me? Is this type of playoff common around the world? Is there any interest in a non-aggregate based system?

I see both 1 seeded teams lost in their first rounds of play. How much of a homefield advantage is really conferred by the current format?

Is Zach the SKC mascot?

It is common around the world for many tournaments. Though not the only way to go about things. There are also variations of it.

LMAO

Nah just very involved on multiple levels. My studio does marketing photography for the organization I am also very involved the Cauldron...the independent supports group of Sporting Kansas City.

Do you still consider yourself a Chiefs and Royals fan? Or has the losing drained on you too much?

I have never really big that big of Royals fan. I wish them well and go to a lot of games but baseball has never really been my thing.

I grew up with and love the Chiefs. Football is the game I love its what I played...its my sport. I don't know where I am with the Chiefs but my feelings are not only about the Chiefs. I don't really love the direction of the NFL as a whole. It feels kind of lifeless and sanitized to me. Even before the Chiefs started being really shitty I found myself caring less and less about non Chiefs NFL games and that has only grown. Though its not a football thing because I still love NCAA football. On top of that you have how awful the Chiefs have been and how toxic and not fun the atmosphere in the stadium is.

I don't know how to answer your question because I think I am still figuring that out. It is really really hard to reconcile the current tone deaf and failed management of the organization with the childhood mystique of what I want it to be. Being a fan of Sporting has made that contrast so much bigger.

The Sporting KC Ginger Lumberjacks?

Nah. Yukon Cornelius.

Enzo DiPede frowns upon this thread.

They need to be - CONCACAF and Season failure if there is no depth again -

You need basically 15-18 players that can be interchangeable with the schedule that is coming and to be strong down the stretch as well as playoff time.

Having 5 strong available subs off the bench is a must. Vs Houston - we had -1

Nagamura needs to at most come off the bench - he is not a starter... and we need strikers yesterday...

We also need at least 2 more strong defenders to come off the bench and the midfield without Espinoza will need a workhorse player to replace... as well as an ageing JC... If we could steal a Mascherano or Gago type midfielder this team would be golden... and strong subs lol.. and 2 more strong strikers...

Rob has a lot of work to do in my opinion...

Yea, that doesn't exist.

I was out once Lalas shaved...

Neverrrrr

I know that's not you.

Still, no longer rocking teh Pharaoh patch I feel unworthy of greeting the great Lalas.

LMAO

I'm glad you have a sense of humor.

The beard is pretty legit.

I feel you. As ive gotten older and more pressing life priorities have come into play, i find my passion for the Chiefs and Royals waning. If they were winning more, id probably get more excited obviously.

Khakis FTW

Gotta have fun with life. The alternative blows goats.

Yeah, I hear ya.

How? Its soccer. Id rather be a chiefs or royals fan and suck than have to watch soccer and be good.

That pic is just begging to be photoshopped.

? Did you even read the thread?

You're going to get increasingly annoyed as years go by.

this thread is stupid. atleast sporting isnt 1 & 7 and hasent held a single lead all season. sportings quality is light years ahead of our q ueefs. also have u been to a game at livstrong? the energy is awesome. those owners have done a great job. u cant even compare the effort chunt gives to the chefs right now. sh#ts a joke
