Sporting KC seemed to be peaking at the right time - they could not have beat a first-grade recreation league team the first month and a half of the season.

I am not a true/blue soccer fan, but my Son likes to watch it so I have been drug in, so to speak. STL tried changing it up a bit at the end and made a game out of it - and it was scary to see the momentum in their favor and an extra 12 minutes added on to the end of regulation...but it worked out okay.

I'm no expert or even big fan of this game but City made history this year only to give it all up to a very hot KC team.

KC was playing desperate sudden death soccer for the last 4 plus games while City was sitting fat and happy ending the regular season in a complete and utter funk and like we all know.....this ain't a light switch you turn off or on with a flick.

That game in KC ya'll had is what we wanted here. But you have to earn it.

Like I say - my Son gets into it so I watch it with him to share time more than anything.

I brought up the fact that it was pretty impressive in my mind that STL came into the playoffs ranked #1 in their first year. He did not discredit them at all, but said a new team coming into the league and the way the draft works, they are able to get some good players based on that.

There are some damn good athletes in the sport, I will give them that - to have the stamina to run around aimlessly for 90+ minutes at a time is impressive...and 50% of them are academy award winning actors as well

Chiefs have a bye, Nascar and baseball is over for the year, so I guess I will probably watch them and LA Fuutball Club as well.
