17 days away from writing about Sporting KC, and somehow things got even more chaotic.

2 DPs out. A club-record signing. And finally, an midfielder. But Sporting are still rock bottom and going nowhere fast.

Sporting KC Are Still a Mess. At Least They Finally Signed a Midfielder
Manu Garcia and Dejan Joveljic couldn’t turn around Sporting Kansas City. Now, Andre Luiz, Owen Wolff, and God knows who else get the opportunity.

Sporting Kansas City are the dregs of MLS and everyone is finally starting to notice. The club sold 2026 as a rebuild. This isn’t a rebuild. It's a continuation of a downward spiral.

How did we get here?

The MLS summer transfer window is closed, and Sporting KC still don’t have the proven goalscorer they desperately need.

Instead, SKC signed two teenagers on loan. My latest on an ultimately disastrous transfer window.

Sporting KC sign two teenagers on loan, but fail to address the areas needed to get out of last place
Sporting Kansas City needed proven players to rescue a disastrous season. Instead, they signed two teenagers on loan and left the club looking towards a future that may never arrive.

#SportingKC have hit rock bottom. Last in almost every offensive metric in #MLS. The rebuild hasn't worked and will need a rebuild. Sack the coach? That's a start. I analyse things in my new #DrewFC article.

Sporting KC are officially at rock bottom
Last place in MLS, 48 goals conceded, and an attack that hasn't scored in three straight matches. This rebuild needs a rebuild.

Zamir Loyo Reynaga could be Sporting KC’s future. But he’s not the present.

Signing a 15-year-old doesn’t fix the roster. History says most prospects aren’t guarantees.

Could more penalty shootouts make football matches less exciting?

The Australian Championship is introducing shootouts after 90-minute draws.

Does making shootouts more common actually kill some of the drama?

87% over 1.5. MLS is entertaining.

14 of 15 MLS Matchday 1 games ended in wins or draws for the home team.

In 2025, home teams won just 44% of matches. In 2017, it was 56%.
