John Pulskamp keeps Sporting Kansas City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market19 Apr 2027

Jake Davis asks to leave Sporting Kansas City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match17 Apr 2027

The wait goes on for Sporting Kansas City

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Manu García

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

Or Blorian shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Sporting Kansas City

Zorhan Bassong was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Ethan Bartlow shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Sporting Kansas City count the cost of losing Jordan Sargent

38 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad19 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Calvin Harris

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Nothing got past Or Blorian

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 33 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match10 Apr 2027

The wait goes on for Sporting Kansas City

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market12 Apr 2027

Joel Waterman is a Sporting Kansas City player

The fee is $740.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Chicago Fire drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Martín Pérez Guedes 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.

Ethan Bartlow shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Justin Reynolds stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Justin Reynolds and Sporting Kansas City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad12 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Zorhan Bassong

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

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Shapi Suleymanov

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Lasse Berg Johnsen takes the honours

Marked 7.70 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Sporting Kansas City had the best player on the pitch.

Match31 Mar 2027

Sporting Kansas City out of the cup

Houston Dynamo ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Nobody could get near Capita

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A defender's afternoon for Lasse Berg Johnsen

Defensive actions: 32. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match3 Apr 2027

4 matches without a win for Sporting Kansas City

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Sporting Kansas City are no longer polite ones.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Sporting Kansas City

Manu García was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

One of those days for Calvin Harris

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.88, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad5 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Diego Chará

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 17 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match3 Apr 2027

Sporting Kansas City draw a blank against Austin FC

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Austin FC defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Calvin Harris says Sporting Kansas City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Stephen Afrifa has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Sporting Kansas City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Sporting Kansas City say no — this time

The offer from Dynamo Kyiv for Manu García 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.

A masterclass from Manu García

Marked 8.46 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Shapi Suleymanov's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Match8 Aug 2026

Sporting Kansas City and Vancouver Whitecaps take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market10 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Sporting Kansas City and Or Blorian

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Sporting Kansas City, another week without a signature from Or Blorian.
