At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity. They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve. As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them. #StandUpForStandards

A new episode is out! This week: - #SportingKC play San Diego FC close, but come up short - Thoughts on the game, Pulskamp, lineup changes and more - #NWSL and #KCBaby conversations - #KSAstras and more in the Digital Crawl kcsoccerjournal.com/03/08/2026/s...

Wow, how did the ball not go in for San Diego? Pulskamp has had some great saves, but San Diego has also had some bad shots.

Is it fair to say that maybe Garcia isn't as fast as I'd like him to be?

It feels like one of these teams is going to play down a man to finish the game. Hopefully, it's San Diego but I'm nervous.

I can't get over how Ethan Bartlow gives off Zusi hair vibes. It's a nice throwback.

Pulskamp has the most intense saves of the game tonight.

Shapi is slow. We need someone with speed. Get em outta here.

Does Shapi have a saucy left foot? That's what the announcer just said...

Sporting suddenly look slow and tired. Another good save by Pulskamp. Sheesh. Can we please not let them score again before half time

What a SAVE by Pulskamp.

Damn, what a goal by San Diego.

I will forever love when Jansen Miller and John Pulskamp celebrate their big plays.

Jeez, I'm very worried we are going to lose a player to an injury tonight.

Ok, I like the feistiness of Dejan after Garcia was fouled. That's what I want to see in my Captain. Also, hi soccer friends!

A new episode is out! This week: - Reactions to the Salloi trade - Breaking down #SportingKC vs. San Jose - David Lee's press conference - State of the roster updates kcsoccerjournal.com/02/22/2026/t...

Final Thoughts: I feel bad for the players. The defense has very little experience, which puts all the pressure on Pulskamp to save all the goals. I wonder how the game would have played out if Reynolds had not been injured. Things immediately went downhill after he left the game.

Final casual take of the night: I dig Calheira's hair.

Anytime a Sporting player is on the ground, I'm panicking. This is a whole other level of stress I don't care for. #SportingKC

Casual Take 2: While I miss the animated facial expressions and hand motions of Peter Vermes, I really like Raphael Wicky's hair.

I wonder why Jansen Miller did not start the game? #SportingKC

How does the San Jose guy not get a card for hurting Pulskamp?

First half thoughts: I was pleasantly surprised by how well SKC was playing. I saw them live last week, and they weren't as cohesive as they were tonight before the Justin Reynolds injury. After he was subbed out, that cohesiveness quickly collapsed. I wanted them to come out and prove us all wrong.

Well, this is a rough way to end the half. Another goal by San Jose

Wow, just as I say, I'm nervous and hit post. San Jose scores. SJ:1 SKC: 0 #SportingKC

The last month I've been saying we are one injury away from a catastrophe. This theory might quickly be tested. At least Jake Davis can slide into right back, but how does this alter the flow of the game? I'm nervous. #SportingKC

I'm pretty sure Justin Reynolds had signaled for a sub when he was on the field. I feel bad, he was playing well. I hope he's ok. Agyabeng, who also has the best last name to say, has subbed into the game. How will this change the game? #SportingKC

This isn't good. Justin Reynolds has been on the ground for minutes. #SportingKC

Claire Hutton, Alex Pfeiffer and Jordan Silkowitz (current Bay FC and former KC Current players) behind Manu Garcia on the corner kick. #SportingKC #SJvSKC

K, I really need Shapi to hold it together! We cannot afford any red cards or injuries. #SportingKC

First free kick of the season for SKC results in a corner. 2nd corner for SKC nothing meaningful happens. #SportingKC

Thoughts 25 minutes in: Honestly, this is going better than I anticipated. Overall, we look cohesive, and maybe the best case scenario is we are playing San Jose to open the season. Maybe I've forgotten last season, but the passes so far are already better. #SportingKC

First casual take of the season: I like John Pulskamp's hair when it's longer. Like you could really run your fingers through his curls. I don't sense that with his current length of hair. I could be totally wrong tho. Also, this feels like another season he's going to have to save a lot of goals 🫣

First corner of the season for Sporting Kansas City. Manu takes the corner of the night and eventually Jake Davis shoots wide. #SportingKC

We are off, and of course, Shapi isn't quick enough, but we've have had the best chances in the first minute?! Okay, Sporting I'm here for this. #SKC

Hey Soccer friends! I'll be live posting the game. Get my very casual SKC thoughts through tonights game.

I'll make a bold prediction regarding the SKC game against San Jose. It's somehow going to end in a draw. I don't know the score. I know I said a lot on the podcast about them being winless, but everyone has them as a woodspoon winner, so I'm going for hope. I need some sort of hope for this season.

I think it's kind of fitting Salloi and Russell, two best friends, end up tied with the same number of goals for #SportingKC

Watching Salloi play in the last preseason game, he gave it his all. He was everywhere. While he isn't my favorite player, I appreciated his hustle. He gave it his all, even when he wasn't scoring goals. I have to imagine he wanted out of KC because this team feels like a train wreck.

What are your thoughts on the Salloi trade rumors? I was initially shocked. It will be the end of the Peter Vermes era. I'd be more okay with this move if we weren't already struggling to find players. I thought he might be like Zusi and play for SKC his whole career. I won't miss his mustache 😂

In a stunning move, @tombogert.bsky.social is reporting #SportingKC are trading Daniel Salloi to Toronto FC for up to $1 million in GAM. #MLS #TFCLive kcsoccerjournal.com/02/19/2026/b...
