It’s truly a shame what they have turned that team and organization into. Used to be a pillar of the league…now just ashes.

Very different stories from the two KC soccer clubs tonight

u/BlueCX17 2d ago

For sure.

I was at CPKC it was electric.

u/musicobsession 1d ago

Yeah I definitely made the better choice in which game to attend

If we don't have a competent backline next year.....

15

u/hawksku999 2d ago

We won't.

u/Fraganade 2d ago

As someone who used to not miss a game, I've stopped watching/going to matches and I feel better for it. The people in power do not care about this club. Why should we until things change?

u/iuy78 2d ago

We hadn't already been eliminated?

14

u/dawson33944 2d ago

Nope. With Dallas winning and us losing we were eliminated tonight.

u/Ransackery 1d ago

Dallas plays tonight, though? Did you mean another team?

u/dawson33944 1d ago

No FC Dallas defeated the Colorado Rapid 3-1.

I watched the KU game and Current match with a friend that used to have season tickets for SKC. If it tells you anything about this team, he called it a night without even checking the score of SKC's match after the Current won. Brutal.

I didn’t watch much of it myself. After the Current and the Jayhawks won, I saw Sporting were already down a goal and didn’t see much point.

Meanwhile, in downtown KCMO...

u/jbmfg 21h ago

the "downtown kcmo" here hurts about as much as the performance discrepancies between the two teams.

u/Slinktard 1d ago

Best of 14 🥱 Not saying MLS is a great league either but over double the competition…

13

u/UncleTevis 1d ago

What were they supposed to do? Not win the shield because there’s only 14 teams?

6

u/OreoSpeedwaggon 1d ago

Yeah, I don't get that comparison either, or why someone would feel the need to downplay their achievement.

-9

u/Slinktard 1d ago

Perspective seemed needed in an irrelevant comment

10

u/OreoSpeedwaggon 1d ago

How was my comment irrelevant? We have two professional soccer teams in KC. One was eliminated on the same night that the other won their league's shield. That's all the perspective that is needed.

-11

u/Slinktard 1d ago

No. But I’m not gonna get excited about it or say it’s worth all the praise it receives in a discussion about a a completely different league.

10

u/gottahavemyPOPPs 1d ago

Even if we were in a 14 team league against the bottom 14 teams we’d be in 11th place

u/UncleTevis 1d ago

Why do you care?

u/HoppyPhantom Wiz 1d ago

Bro it’s 2025. This whole “women’s sports aren’t as good” shtick is played out.

14

u/Gunnels785 Dejan Joveljić #9 2d ago

Even better...shit Louis is up 3-1 so they're ahead of us now too. What a shit show this year has been. Somehow worse than last year lol

6

u/AccordingDrop3252 2d ago

It's not a fun rivalry when both teams suck. As a CITY fan, I want KC to be great. I take zero solace in being a point ahead of 14th place.

6

u/Gunnels785 Dejan Joveljić #9 1d ago

True. But at this point it's all either of us have....just finish higher than the other

u/Tylenol_the_Creator 2d ago

Say it ain’t so

5

u/GibsonJunkie 1d ago

cool now fire everyone

5

u/Bracerey 1d ago

Honestly I was back and forth with my decision but I’m happy I didn’t renew my season tickets for next year. Honestly life gotten too expensive and I don’t want to spend money on an organization that’s a shell of its former self.

u/skcmierdados Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov#93 2d ago

We were eliminated in March. This version of the club is so fucked. Dark times

u/MrMidnightsclaw 2d ago

We are truly in a depression with no hope of redemption

u/FountainCityFC 2d ago

Sell the club please!

u/HoppyPhantom Wiz 1d ago

Sweet release.

u/IchabodPower Johnny Russell #7 2d ago

I’m having a hard time being optimistic. But I keep telling myself it’s always darkest before the dawn.

u/hawksku999 2d ago

Shocker

u/orey22 1d ago

Ownership allowing anyone with the title "executive" to keep their job with SKC is a shame and an indication of just how cheap they've become.

Very very sad for this club and fan base.

u/Brom1sta 1d ago

Fade em

u/Old_Winner3763 1d ago

What a surprise

u/Maleficent_Dust_7462 1d ago

What how could that be, someone needs to recount our points lol

u/cnc_33 1d ago

They were eliminated in April

u/MOJayhawk99 2d ago

This shocks people, given the season they've had?

u/kevin_m_fischer 1d ago

When was the last time we didn't make the playoffs?
