Sporting KC has been mediocre at best the last few seasons. Five years ago (and certainly 10 years ago) the club was more popular and successful. They've become stagnant with the same manager and philosophy.
Besides, calling KC the top soccer market in the country? That's a bold claim considering there's bigger towns with larger immigrant populations from countries where soccer is life. I'm glad we're getting the World Cup and I'm not saying this isn't a good soccer market. Just think calling it the best is a stretch.
