Sporting KC set for lowest point total ever in a 34-game season

Even if they win their last two games, they would still set a new season-low in club history.

The last hope in 2024 came and went with the US Open Cup Final loss. With just two games left in the MLS season, Sporting KC will soon finish with the fewest points in club history for a 34-game season.

Here’s the stat from Mike Kuhn.

SKC will face LAFC at home and FC Dallas on the road to close out the season. They’ve avoided the Wooden Spoon even if they fail to score another point. Therefore, we expect to continue seeing a lot more of Stephen Afrifa and Alenis Vargas.

On the latest episode of Shades of Blue, we’re talking about what to watch for in the final two otherwise meaningless matches.

The show (reluctantly) discusses Sporting KC’s loss against sT. LoUiS cItY sC, as well as the US Open Cup Final loss against LAFC. Plus predictions for how the KC Current will finish the NWSL season.

I would say play the backups…but I’m not sure who those would be at this point. The last few games should be spent on seeing what partnerships can work for next year – seeing if an Ndembe-Fernandez-Rosero-Shelton backline is enough to build on. Is Bassong/Davis enough of a competent dual pivot to leave for a year. Is the Pulido-Agada attack enough to justify keeping both on the field (or Pulido on the team…).

Answers to those questions are waaaay more important than any other result and gives an actual meaning to the games.

I guess congratulations are in order to Vermes and ownership on winning the franchise Wooden Spoon?

David, I appreciate your bit. I wrote an updated story from 2 weeks ago you are free to reference with contract situations. 🙂
