Shaking off the dust - Shades of Blue

It wasn't pretty. Sporting KC have plenty to fine-tine and sharpen up as they get into the flow of the season. But earning a point on the road against a strong Houston Dynamo side is actually quite a nice result to kick off 2024. The rust was the heaviest when SKC tried to play out from the back. Too many poor passes and bad touches gave Houston multiple chances in the first half. The Dynamo controlled possession and nearly every stat you can think of. The attacking core struggled all game. Pulido let a couple chances go by the wayside. Even the substitutes failed to make a real impact on the game. Was Erik Thommy's goal lucky, or all skill? Next up is the Philadelphia Union. Robert says Jim Curtain and the Union are what we WISH Sporting KC would be. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
