Temwa and Hutton swap kits. Who doesn't want Temwa's jersey? #KCBaby #KCvBAY

Hutton, Pfeiffer and Silkowitz all start for Bay FC and will certainly be motivated against their former club. #KCBaby

Pretty balanced game between SKC and Seattle, but the Sounders steal a win late. (Stats per Futi) #SportingKC

First half from #SportingKC They are deservedly ahead per Futi

Jair Marrufo doesn't like calling fouls. At least he's consistently not called much either way today. #SportingKC #SEAvSKC

Owen Wolff is a new addition with a quad injury. Mosquera is definitively bumped down to out, probably not taking risks on that awful Seattle turf. And Ramos Jr is off with the US U-20s. #SportingKC

The KC Current heading back to CA for 2027 preseason. They'll be joined by Angel City FC, Bay FC, Chicago Stars FC, Denver Summit FC, San Diego Wave FC, Seattle Reign FC and the Utah Royals for the Coachella Valley Invitational. #KCBaby #NWSL

Temwa Chawinga called up by Malawi for Olympic Qualifiers. The KC Current play Utah 4 days after the second game of the window. #KCBaby

In the live standings, the KC Current have dipped below the playoff line. 79th minute and Seattle are up by 2. #KCBaby

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The first of several scuffles of the night between SKC/Philly. I just went back in watched and thought it was odd Calen Carr though Luiz went down too easy (defender mentality). It looked like a hard challenge. I agree it was good to see Reynolds come to Andre's aid. #SportingKC

With Seattle losing to Denver, the KC Current will remain in playoff positioning for another week, regardless of the Angel City/Utah Royals result. But Denver are within striking distance and coming to KC this week. #KCBaby

Or Blorian on Instagram (via Google Translate): "After extensive tests, it became clear that I needed to undergo a medical procedure that saved my life. I'm fine, recovering, and looking forward to getting back on the field to do the thing I love most in the world." #SportingKC

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The list is dominated by players at European clubs. However, Temwa Chawinga does what she does in the toughest women's league in the world. Back-to-back MVP and Golden Boot winner. Helped 153rd ranked Malawi qualify for the WWC. The best counterargument this year is she been hurt. #KCBaby

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Lee: "I think we end the window with an improved overall team when we entered the window and we've got a lot of flexibility to continue to spend." #SportingKC IMO, this is a tough sell. People will just see 2 DPs leave and only 1 come in... 1/2

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I don't want to give the whole depth chart they did away, but if #SportingKC get nothing done today, this is bleak for 12 more games. I probably flip Wolff and Agyebang and shuffle that depth around a bit. They need another warm body at striker. READ: www.backheeled.com/mls-depth-ch...

#SportingKC's rumored striker target, Paulos Abraham, was back in the starting XI today for Hammarby. The window closes on Wednesday.

One thing that attracted #SportingKC to try to acquire Owen Wolff, which has been going on since last fall, is his positional diversity. David Lee breaks down what he saw:

020

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

David Lee talked about his first 10 months on the job and it gives you an idea of the upheaval around the team. Obviously he's not pleased on the field, but he thinks the right things are happening behind the scenes. #SportingKC

David Lee on what they are looking for when replacing Dejan Joveljic at striker. #SportingKC

020

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Lee: "We do want to move the team into a three DP model. Whether that happens this window, the next or 2027-28." He talked later about the plan being to do it now, but they can't make mistakes on these signings and cripple the team. #SportingKC

Confirmation of the injuries from yesterday. Blorian is healthy at least. #SportingKC

Eight NWSL games in 2026 will be on the Roku Channel (for free). NWSL really spreads their content out. I feel like I need an advanced degree to know where to watch games on a night to night basis.

Chad Smith @chadcsmith.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Transfermarkt has #SportingKC linked to free agent midfielder, Nemanja Gudelj, previously with Sevilla. I can't find anything on it, and in fact their own website links to a source saying he's going to the San Jose Earthquakes. #Quakes74 x.com/OAccomando91...
