STL City 2 Sporting KC 2

[Rosthol]

Where was the vaunted defense?

The good news is that they scored two goals.

Klauss, Becher, Hartel can’t buy a goal.

They always say a 2-0 lead is the most dangerous in soccer.

Hopefully this isn’t too soon!

Watching a City match is like watching a Blues game. No lead is ever safe and you just know the opposing team will always score late to tie or take the lead. Defense wins championships.

But isn’t Mellberg a defensive genius?
