Match

Nowhere to hide for Sporting Kansas City

1‑4 against Houston Dynamo, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Sporting Kansas City say no — this time

The offer from SuperSport United for John Pulskamp was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

André Luiz was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 30. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emir Karić and Sporting Kansas City agree another 4 years.

Squad

André Luiz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sporting Kansas City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lasse Berg Johnsen, and the manager let it.

Market

Ryan Schewe attracts admirers

The name of Ryan Schewe has come up in conversations Sporting Kansas City were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Sporting Kansas City dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

In brief
