Spent a couple of days around the Kansas City Roos men's soccer team. How did they become a top program in college soccer? Here's how: www.kansascity.com/sports/colle...

Behind the scenes with the highest-ranked sports team in UMKC history

Could a former KC Wizard bring a national title to UMKC? “This should be a soccer school,” he says.

Per Sportec, André Luiz hit 22.91 mph today. It is the third-fastest sprint speed in MLS this season. Second on the team, still behind Capita. Sporting KC owns three of the top six fastest sprint speeds in MLS this year.

Just one quick note, did see Francisco Belo walking around tonight with David Lee. There's one rumored front office hire in the building. #SportingKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

FINAL. #SportingKC with a thrilling comeback. Down 2-0, and 3-1, they rescue a point. Different times, different team out here. #SKCvPOR

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Big save from Cleveland. Portland with the chances going forward now. #SKCvPOR

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Oh my that was the chance at the end for Harris. Just skies his chance after a killer reverse pass from Agyabeng. Still 3-3. Seven minutes of stoppage time. #SportingKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Don't like that sight with Luiz down in the box. Grabbing at the back of his leg a bit. The way they're working on it, it may be a cramp? Though it looks like Shapi is coming on to replace him and he is certainly hobbling. #SKCvPOR.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

That run from Luiz came from inside the halfway line. It was a brilliant flicked ball over the top from Seymour Reid. Luiz never looked back, slowed down at the right moment and calmly finished his chance. #SKCvPOR

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

As part of the triple sub, Calheira, Afrifa, and Reynolds come off the field. James playing Right back.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

GOAL. Justin Reynolds scores his first career goal off a great feed from Taylor Calheira. 3-2. Things might get interesting.

030

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Trio of changes coming for Sporting KC. Looks like Seymour Reid, Ruben Ramos Jr. and Ian James coming on the field. Ramos, 20, is the oldest player coming on in this triple sub. #SKCvPOR #SportingKC

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Sporting has had most of the possession this half, but hasn't really done much with it. They aren't getting into Portland's box at all They have 10 touches in the box total tonight. When they've found results lately, that number has been in the 20s.

030

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Portland makes it 3-1 right off the throw-in. Ariel Lassiter finishes at the backpost. #SKCvPOR

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Vincent Janssen and Diego Chara are out for Jose Caicedo and Antony. #SKCvPOR

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Kwaku with a little bit of Chara-like medicine on Diego Chara.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Second half underway. Sporting with a much better start in the second half than the first. #SKCvPOR

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

That goal from André Luiz makes him the 11th player in #MLS history to score in five of his first six starts. Below is whose company he joins.

020

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

GOAL. Andre Luiz's penalty is saved off the post by Pantemis but Luiz follows the rebound and makes it 2-1. Game on! #SKCvPOR

010

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Welp. Hold that thought. Taylor Calheira just earned Sporting KC its first penalty kick of the 2026 season. Yes. It took 28 games for Sporting to earn one. #SKCvPOR

021

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Janssen roofs it. #SportingKC is going to trail 2-0 at the half. Lots of work to do.

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Referee Pierre-Luc Lauziére comes back from the monitor and points to the spot. Seemed pretty clear. Janssen stepping up to take right before halftime. #SportingKC #SKCvPOR

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Jansen Miller might have got away with a foul on Velde. Who for the umpteenth time has gone to ground to help delay the review here. But I think it's a penalty coming anyways. #SportingKC

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Lasse Berg Johnsen's absence is certainly being felt in the buildup tonight. Less ideas, less execution, a lot of turnovers. #SportingKC

011

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Kwaku Agyabeng is having another stellar night in the midfield. He is all over the place to sniff out a loose ball and make a tackle. Keeping Sporting's attacking moving side to side well too. #SportingKC

140

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Now Miller evades a yellow somehow after taking down Velde. I think Velde made a meal of it more than there was real contact. But...surprised again nonetheless.

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Vincent Janssen goes into the book early for dragging back Jansen Miller at the halfway line. Kinda odd but an early tone the ref wants to set I guess.

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

GOAL Timbers. David Dacosta makes it 1-0 in the 10th minute. SportingKC caught all out of position. Wyatt Meyer left 1v1 with Ariel Lassiter in space on the left flank, and that was not good!

000

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It has been all Timbers the first half. Sporting has hardly possessed the ball beyond the halfway line. And then all of a sudden Luiz gets on the ball and Sporting nearly scores. Good lord he is insane. #SportingKC

010

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

We are underway from Sporting Park. Sporting KC is looking to continue positive performances and get a result, too.

030

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Lineups are here. No real surprises ahead for Sporting KC. No Lasse Berg-Johnsen, which was to be expected imo. Kickoff in a little under an hour.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Per BILD, #SportingKC has poached Eintracht Frankfurt's top scout, Sebastian Stein, to lead its scouting department. He would join Francisco Belo as another impressive front-office hire. The talent Frankfurt has signed and sold in the last five years is staggering. www.bild.de/sport/fussba...

Out at #SportingKC training. Jake Davis back in a bit. But no Lasse Berg Johnsen, Mosquera, or Wolff.

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The Current bowed down to greatness on Saturday. Literally. That celebration after Debinha completed her hat trick on Saturday is indicative of how much respect and reverence her teammates have for her and all she's accomplished in her storybook #NWSL career. www.kansascity.com/sports/socce...

What a horrible mistake by the broadcast that we didn't see that goal in real time. Y'all gotta get it together. Cannot miss goals and live action.

2-0 lead and a head loss red card. Sounds like a USA game against Mexico with Rafa Marquez involved. I'm having flashbacks to 2008.

With tonight's win over Bay FC, the Current move to 6-0-0 all time against the club. 19 goals for, and 5 against in those six games. #KCBaby

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A third of Debinha's career headed goals (6) came in that second-half hat-trick tonight. #KCBaby

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

FINAL. The Current roll in the second half over Bay FC. 5-1 is the final. It won't tell you how nervy that first half was. But the second half, there was clearly a shift in game plan, and it was what split Bay FC open. #KCBaby

090

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Chawinga ices this one. Coast to coast and around Silkowitz. 5-1. The KC Current are hitting their stride at juuuuuuuuuuust the right time. #KCBaby

Daniel Sperry @danielsperrykc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Hocking gets a very stern warning from the referee over an innocuous foul. He has called two soft fouls against her that go against how the game has been officiated overall. Let Kundananji get away with murder repeatedly without a warning.

Debinha comes out to a rousing ovation. So does LaBonta. Hocking and Feist are in. #KCBaby

DEBINHA HATTRICK. A second header. White with the cross. 4-1 now. What a legend. The whole team bows around her in celebration. #KCBaby

Michelle Cooper and Vanessa DiBernardo come off for Amelia White and Rocky Rodriguez.

Rouse isn't going to win rookie of the year, but she's been the best rookie defender in the NWSL this year. Would love to see her get a look in a U-23 camp soon.
