When Will Sporting KC Win Again?
The winless streak for Sporting Kansas City hit 12 across all competitions this past weekend. Looking ahead, when can they win?
For the Glory KC is back with the 124th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City dropped their most recent match with LAFC 2-0. It was their 11th loss in their last 12 games with the only other result being last week’s draw against Minnesota United. Of course, we have to discuss what happened in the game and what needs to change. But the biggest question, other than the job security of Peter Vermes (which we address), is ‘When will Sporting KC win again?’
The upcoming schedule has games that appear more winnable than others, but nothing about recent trends suggest Sporting KC are in a good position to win. Here are the next 10 games and the team’s current point total:
- @ FC Dallas (7 points)
- vs. St. Louis City (8 points)
- vs. Portland Timbers (7 points)
- @ San Jose Earthquakes (6 points)
- @ FC Cincinnati (7 points)
- vs. LA Galaxy (2 points)
- @ Portland Timbers (6 points)
- @ St. Louis City (8 points)
- @ San Diego FC (8 points)
- vs. New England Revolution (1 point)
When do you realistically think Sporting KC can win a game? Let us know in the comments.
Beyond the abysmal current state of Sporting Kansas City, Sheena and I delve into the results of the US Open Cup against the Des Moines Menace, talk about the Johan Ortiz signing and Alenis Vargas finds a new home.
Finally, the KC Current had themselves another delightful week. They went on the road and beat the previously perfect Washington Spirit, leaving just KC and Orlando Pride as perfect teams. We delve into some bright spots in the game that included VAR (seriously), Lorena and of course Temwa, including a fantastic Temwa Chawinga stat. Then we talk about the low key signing of Friday Mukoma.
In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:
- CF Montreal fire their coach
- Exciting MLS kit news
- USMNT’s double loss
- Pro/Rel in the USL
- and Denver NWSL’s stadium plans

Haven’t listened yet (Sorry Chad) but living in Denver, that stadium plan is exciting. On the light rail, less than half a mile from my office and in a dumpy industrial spot crying out for development. My daughter, who I purposefully dragged to CPKC each of the past two years and was in tears both times, is all ready for season tickets and going all in on fandom because they will be our local team. I may disown her.
Kinda funny how both Denver and KC women’s teams are showing the stale men’s franchises how it’s done.
Unfortunately (for me) the Rapids seem to have turned it around. But it does give me an extra opportunity to be embarrassed by SKC. Last year and this SKC has the 4th of July game here in Denver. Last year the fireworks were great, so there’s that.
Their stadium situation is still stupid though. Both they and SKC have middle-of-nowhere stadiums compared to CPKC and what Denver NWSL are planning.
At least in Denver there’s a beautiful wildlife refuge right next to the stadium.
Can’t say I found Nebraska Furniture Mart as scenic.
Have you been INSIDE Nebraska Furniture Mart?
Kat, if you don’t think there’s native wildlife watching in Nebraska Furniture Mart, you haven’t been in Nebraska Furniture Mart!
So… is NFM a furniture store covered in animal sh!t? No, no… don’t tell me. I’d rather not know. Some things are best left unknown.
I think it might be vice versa…
Oh, absolutely.
No need to apologize!
I love that story about your daughter. I wish mine would have that reaction.
Sporting will win a game whenever they remember how to defend for 90 minutes.
That hasn’t happened in years lol
IMO I think we will figure out a win against Dallas, a tie against St. Louis (they aren’t as good as the standings have them at and I think they’ve only scored 2 goals all season, plus Burki is out) & they lose against Portland.
over the next 3 games it will. Be 1 win, 1 lose and a tie… giving us only 4 pts… still seated at 15th maybe 14th.
i dont even want to try to think of the future to much. It is too heart breaking at this point.
Yeah it’s getting hard to care anymore. Life is too busy to watch this team lose constantly and if we lose to STL both games that should be the nail in the coffin for Vermes but I doubt even that matters.
No, there is no coffin. They’ve already proclaimed this a 3 window rebuild, so Vermes won’t take any heat until this time next year at the earliest.
Probably true
maybe STL
prob REVs
might even win two in a row before the losing continues again

We have a podcasts titles “When Will SKC Win Again.”
haha.
I mean, it’s 12 games in a row without a win. It’s pretty rough. That doesn’t count the 6 (!??!!) preseason games.
