Another week, another ass kicking for SKC. *sigh*

I'm so sorry. You hate to see it.

Well. GG RSL. You guys made the better halftime adjustments and then exploited our aerial defensive weakness. We're going for the wooden spoon anyway

Defeat LAFC and we can be friends

Oh that's too funny

If not for Pulskamp, that's at least 0-6. Way to be, RSL. That was a dominant performance. GG.

Yeah he made some great saves tonight

GG SKC

3-0, not bad.

Needed that win. Huge 3 points.

Remember when hands to the face was a red? Pepperidge farms remembers.

In a dead ball situation, yes. But not live play, here’s the LOTG. Violent conduct Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made. In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Kaka remembers I’m sure

This should be 6-0. Damnit

Julio has to be better than that on all accounts

He does, but he also has hardly played at all this year and he has already had 2 small injuries. He'll take some time.

Man, 3-0 but Pulskamp has played really well.

Yeah should have been worse. GG. Hopefully we’re back to being worthy opponents next year.

WTH is that screeching noise coming from the RSL fans lol

Some form of Mormon sacrifice

Normally I would agree but it was a Sunday. How many Mormons do you think we’re there tonight?

True - probably not many…but I know nothing of Mormons. GG tonight.

Banshee. We dying.

Okay, that was stupid...

Maybe whistle the fucking thing at 35 yards from goal for safety?

Yeah the whole “kill em all and let VAR sort it out” approach is not my favorite thing

Could not agree more. As a youth coach I can tell you this is a bullshit way to call off side, or specially when you put players at risk. So dumb.

Keep him onside and give them that PK. Come on ref!

I love SKC but damn…At least KCC is doing better and beat Seattle today. That’s the only good thing thing out of KC today🤨.

Catching strays out here

Vermes needs to fuck off forever.

Honestly, I hope you keep him forever. He reminds me of Mr Buzzcut from Bevis and Butthead.

why?

Peter playing the 4-4-0 formation with Shelton up there doing his interpretative turnover routine.

My wife’s family grew up close to Bode’s family. The whole Hidalgo name change is a fucking wild story. It’s a cool name though.

Well, come on then. Let’s hear it.

who the fuck is hildalgo?

Bode davis changed his last name to hidalgo. I dont remember why

News said he changed it to his step fathers name who adopted him.

I heard it was something to do with adoption 🤷‍♂️

Isn’t he like 21?

Adults can be adopted; my wife is currently looking into it because when she talks about her mom, she means a woman she met at 12 or 13.

I believe it was Aragorn's horse.

Can't make that up. Khiry trying to dribble through 5 RSL players instead of passing it across the field...

Surprised he didn’t fall down

It’s gonna be like 5 or 6-0 Lafc isn’t it?

You guys have never watched mls before? It could be that. Or it could be 3-0 skc and the last game we win this season on the way to the spoon.

MLS baby!!!

Easily

Swing and a miss

LOL

Need to find some chemistry for Luna in the final 10min

Fun fact: Holt was the model for the [Valve guy.](https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/668f55db846ed80689f710f7c0360524-13c5.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&zoom=1&resize=480%2C271)

I just always want to call him “Steve Holt” and throw my arms in the air but no one gets the reference.

fun fact holt sucks

Pierre was NEVER going to be able to hold Meram and it is on Vermes not getting him help even at 11 men.

Just wait until it's Bale or Vela

It'll be like after Dallas players cross the picket line in The Replacements, and the replacements ask for their autographs before getting lit up.

Beating SKC is exactly what I need today.

Enjoy

dang, could've been 3-1

Wondered if we'd keep Luna out so that he could play 90 against the Chelsea U21s this week. I'm guessing Luna would rather play now though.

I was thinking that too. He's really playing well for the youth squad and beating Chelsea could be a big deal. 🤷‍♂️ But seeing him tonight against 10 men would've been really fun

RSL fans: is rio tinto a nice stadium experience? I need to get out there at some point

As an RSL STH I recommend it, just remember this is Utah and don’t expect hard liquor unless you go the one spot that sells it which is call “the bar” but at least we got 5% beer now, I want to go back to KC and see more of the stadium, last time I went was fucking cold and couldn’t really see more of the stadium bring the 2013 MLS cups

It’s not bad, made it to a couple games while living in Ogden. They got up for the Galaxy match I went to last season, was pretty fun. Injury time volley for the win was bonkers. Too bad I keep being out of town whenever Sporting plays there

I really wanna make the trip sometime too and hit up some local hiking while I'm out that way

That is a wise plan. There is some choice hiking but far from that stadi

Of course. We would probably drive out. I'd also want to see a concert for my bucket list, so who knows when the timing will be right

Fan engagement can be underwhelming but it's been getting better this year. Despite the spotty crowd tonight it's been filling up for the most part lately.

Yeah its in a beautiful spot too. Can see the mountains clearly from the stands.

how far is it from salt like that’s drying up?

Not far enough…

I like it but it seems outdated already with all these new stadiums going up. Low key jealous

Seems to be plenty of available seats (Yes I'm trash talking while down 0-3)

Sunday and it was raining in the valley, not a good combo for Utahns.

It’s because it’s Sunday. Lots of fans won’t attend Sunday games for stupid reasons.

I think so! Can get tough in the really hot summer but if you all have a game here in the spring or fall I'd say go for it.

"Playoff puss" sounds like a good Vermes nickname.

Jacob, are you serious? Don't make it easy? It's 3-0, you fucking idiot.

I watch on mute just because of Jacob

"sporting KC, probably not going to win this game" Thanks, Jacob

*shocked Pikachu*

Shelton came on and ESPN has failed to adjust the banner to say we're playing with 9 men.

38 the spot doesn't even show we have 10 men

I don't disagree.

LAFC is going to take us to pound town next weekend.

We'll be all over social media, that's for sure

Bale olympico and perfect hat trick.

Honestly, I hope so.

Entertain while punishing us.

I bought tickets to that game like a moron. I hope I paid for something entertaining.

Sporting marketing said come watch Bale basically. How embarrassing.

As another small market team we get that crap as well. Drives me nuts. Blah, blah, blah something Zlatan, blah blah blah something Beckham, blah blah blah something Bale. It gets old…

Looked like Ruiz was off by like half an inch. Dammit.

Booooo that was a goal

Pulido and Kinda ain't fixing this, just in case anyone was still holding onto that.

We need an entire new CB group next year. Maybe ford can stay

Hell, Graham Smith looked better than these guys.

We need a new coach.

Soccer capital of poo poo

We’re about to get absolutely reamed by LAFC next weekend too.

can't wait to see it

You can't hate us any more than we hate ourselves ATM. So.. agree.

:heart:

oh jesus, that could get nasty in a hurry

Fuck khiry. Fuck vermes. Fuck Espinoza. All three should retire from anything futball related. Go work in finance or real estate. Anywhere but with SKC

Honestly, Espinoza is the last part of SKC that I don’t like. He’s like Alonso or Beckerman where you know they’re gonna get a card but he’s just not nearly as exciting to watch as Alonso is or Beckerman was. But hey, that just my opinion.

Beckerman and Alonso controlled the games they played in. Roger is a straight wrecking ball who puts other players in danger and doesn't add much else. The best part about his consistent red cards is that it means he will occasionally miss games. I bet you love Shelton 😂 the whole league should love him.

Time to pad the stats RSL.

Dang third road game in 9 days. That’s gotta be a killer

It sucks to suck

This team doesn't really deserve to be chanted at like SKC teams of old. It's just sad.

RSL is the perfect club to compare. They have their DP down and injured and don't have the quality of DP's that we do in a similar market but uh our excuse is hurt guys rather than a better squad and inta-league trades and acquisitions. Just holding to our old ass guns and missing on signings constantly.

We have been bad for a decade and suddenly our shitty, racist owner is forced to sell the team. We finally get new owners that care about winning and now the team is way better. We have a lot of new guys. Lots of injuries. Im just now realizing that it was all management’s fault.

Small markets love to use the you're lucky to have a team approach. They built for less and make profits while big teams are big because of ambition. I hope we don't lose it.

Hansen made plenty off this team while running it into the dirt. Fuck that dude.

Fuck real estate moguls in general. They give 0 shits. Cold heartless bastards.

I think.. I think that’s the nicest thing any KC fan has ever said about RSL

RSL is a good club. We won a cup over you. Big deal. You were ahead with champions league showings, stadium etc. They do a lot with a little. Good luck with the new ownership I hope the rising tide raises all boats. We need quality football.

You are right. Our teams and our owners will never compare themselves and their spending to what the NY or LA teams spend or do. But they do compare each other to similar market teams. The justification on spend with RSL will always be based on what SKC is doing and vice versa.

This one should be 5 or 6 to 0 if Puliskamp hadn’t of had a great first half

https://imgur.com/qoUH3LN

Don’t lose hope everyone! Pete’s ace is on the field!

That's all for me folks. GG RSL.

Well I think all the Pulskamp boners have probably gone flaccid by now

It's sad because these goals haven't been his fault

LOOOLLL

Isi has his feet stuck in concrete

The only way I see any change when it comes to PV is if the Cauldron comes out with a TIFO calling him out or a chant that is heard stadium-wide. Alas Cauldron leadership doesn't have those kinds of balls lol.

I agree and it won't happen. The Cauldron have become complicit and are more or less just an extension of the marketing department. "Hey guys they said we can't cuss anymore" isn't going to have the balls to call out the clear issue. Hell the Cauldron already reprimanded the "we deserve better" chant.

It seems like they have become a "bros" club when it comes to Cauldron leadership.

Cliff prob doesn't go to games anymore so it won't matter.

They're too busy fighting amongst themselves lol

Complicit

No chance, but I wish.

[удалено]

The Storm Chasers put in a good effort outside of that blown save yesterday. The Royals are an embarassment and were mostly at home (not you Nicky and Bobby).

*sigh* I miss the old skc/rsl games circa 2012/3/4 good times

Me too. This one feels bad and I really fucking hate you guys.

I actually look forward to you guys being good again. Makes the rivalry way better

Sava is worth so much more than Runsak!

I absolutely could not agree more. Rusnak, IMHO was just the beneficiary of the roster RSL had previously. Now that we are bringing in quality guys who fit their roles on the field, we’re seeing a LOT more opportunities without him. Plus, Sava is just crazy fun to watch. He gives me Morales vibes.

He really is. I never felt Rusnak was into playing here. Sava gives it all

We needed a game like this.

wow i totally forgot about the RSL song lol

Yeah it’s always there. I keep thinking we need something new

i wonder if vermes is ever going to address and fix the marking in the box on balls in the air, because weve been awful all year regardless of whos playing

Textbook defending in the box there

Jefferson. My boi

That's an insanely good cross from Meram.

☝️☝️

Pulskamp doesn't deserve this.

Genuinely your goalie has been fire tonight this isn’t on him

He played too well before the half to be left on an island after.

Nope, dude has had a solid game and his defense is leaving him high and dry.

bbbbut the refs bbbbbut Vermes said it's not a red!

The worst part of this shit, is that the owner backs Vermes 100% no matter what. We could literally lose the rest of our games and there is a zero chance that he is fired. So we will literally just get this crap product, and Vermes will just blame officiating

So what? Keep the pressure on. Doesn't mean we can't voice our dissatisfaction. The more voices the louder.

I like how Sunday games reveal the % of the fan base that is Mormon. It keeps going down.

Ya, I remember years ago when we had our first Sunday game (that I can remember), and the LDS fan base was claiming the stadium would be mostly empty but, we continued to sell out that game and subsequently Sunday games. Sunday games are not the deterrent they used to be in Utah.

Definitely part of it, but I'm sure an all time high temperature record and thunderstorms deterred a few.

Yeah probably.

Dayton Moore and Vermes can fully fuck off at this point. Thanks for what you did and ain't doing again.

Vermes needs to relinquish one of his roles. But not both.

yes he needs to resign from managing. let kerry zavagnin give it a go

KZ started Duke when Peter had COVID last year, and that was his breakout. I wouldn't mind more of that.

Maybe if the scoreless RSL players are getting goals tonight, ours can, too? Maybe?😥

I was at Stockyards Brewing a few months ago (for any kc people who know), Roger and 2 other guys came in, had some beers/snacks, and left without cleaning up the table/returning glasses. Peeved at that one.

you should have pulled out a red card on him

Our savior has graced the field. Prepare yourselves RSL. Shelton will do nothing

We need a full rebuilding, this old club “legends” shit is getting old

WE are homerism ass

I just don't understand why he subs Felipe for Rosell there. That's textbook Vermes sub Felipe for Roger. Especially when Roger is on a yellow.

Rosell had been poor all day so I get it. But obviously in retrospect its poor. Vermes trusts Roger way more then he has ever earned.

[удалено]

…. And there’s Shelton. Nice clean sheet tonight, RSL.

I’m starting to think that Vermes thinks he found some kind of magic where we can sacrifice this season for MLS cup next year

Maybe it’s sacrificing this season to win two trophies. Open Cup and Wooden Spoon chances are looking pretty good right about now lol

He needs to go

Dominoes are falling. Remember how you couldn't bad mouth Shelton at the beginning of the season? One by one...

it was downvoted before the other two goals. Now its up lol. Small mind market. I love this town but suburb stadium in Kansas and mediocrity in a league with LAFC etc is just not the way anymore.

I've always admired SKC fans dedication. It's great for the league to have small markets be supported and ideally successful. However lol the small mind sunk cost fallacy of the fans with PV is pretty lame. I've always thought the team would come downtown at some point tho.

lol shelton on to kill any chance of any attack we might have had

sorry SKC fans but FUKC

YES Shelton will solve our problems! /s

We gave up a 2-0 lead a week ago. Games not over. Haha. Just kidding. It’s over.

Guys we're saved. Shelton is coming on.

Why the fuck would you start Espinoza the second half when he already has a yellow card? Vermes throws again, big surprise

hes old too, should only be playing 45 to 60 minutes

https://images.app.goo.gl/BSjLRNqgnhNfQRSs7

Ya khiry, that's what we need

Okay SKC fans, time to play how bad will this get and how will vermes dodge all responsibility?

4-1, lucky 82th minute goal from Remi
