There will be none of this Saturday night at Community America Ballpark. Sorry, De Ro.
Now that this past week’s festivities/circus that was the friendly against Manchester United is over, I have to admit – I’m so excited about getting back into league play that we’re going a day early with preview coverage of this Saturday’s home game against Toronto FC.
So, let’s skip the pleasantries and talk MLS LEAGUE PLAY SOCCER!!
The Wizards made the trip north of the border back in early June riding a two game losing streak after a 1-0 loss to Columbus at home, followed by a 4-1 trashing at the hands of Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto. This was the part of the season that went completely awry for Kansas City. After wins in their first two league games of the season, six losses and two draws were the recent form heading into BMO Field. In what could quite possibly be considered the worst spectacle MLS game of the season, the Wizards managed a 0-0 draw for a rare road point. Nothing more need be said about that game.
Since that game all the way back on June 5, KC has managed 7 points in six league games. That sounds bad, and it is. We know how much this team has struggled. Somehow, though, Toronto has been just as bad. How are they sitting on 23 points and the final playoff spot at the moment, you ask? Well, their hot start has kept them afloat during their struggles since June 5, picking up 7 points in five games.
