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.
