@kcsoccerjournal.bsky.socialSporting KC is the only MLS original to never finish last. Can they dodge a historic first Wooden Spoon down the stretch?
A look at the #SportingKC schedule, who they are chasing and an explainer on what the heck the Wooden Spoon even is and how it came to be.
@chadcsmith.bsky.socialSitting in 30th but with a game in hand, #SportingKC faces a critical final stretch to climb out of the basement.
Breaking down the path to safety:

@chadcsmith.bsky.socialThis is a nice, simple-ish explanation of "rest defense" and how it setup #SportingKC to be successful against #LAFC.
As Daniel notes, there is more to it, but this is a good primer if you are looking to get a bit deeper of your understanding while watching soccer.
@kcsoccerjournal.bsky.socialDavid Lee says #SportingKC's roster has improved through the secondary transfer window.
The same window that say Dejan Joveljic and Manu Garcia leave.
But could it be true? Let's take a closer look.

@chadcsmith.bsky.social"[Andre Luiz's] physicality is what leaps off the screen when you watch him. He truly is a Premier League-level athlete, who was fouled a game-high five times by LAFC on Saturday in an effort by the visitors to keep Luiz quiet. It didn’t work" #SportingKC
@kcsoccerjournal.bsky.socialPower Rankings plus math.
And the math really favored #SportingKC after their upset of #LAFC.
That, plus a lot of other shuffling and St. Louis City are disturbingly high for KC fans.

@mikedkuhn.bsky.socialStats and milestones for #SportingKC from last night. kcsoccerjournal.com/09/13/2026/j...
@danielsperrykc.bsky.socialThree observations from a surprise #SportingKC victory over LAFC last night:
@chadcsmith.bsky.socialScout soccer. Appreciate art. Wear a dashing suit. What can't Graham Zusi do?! #SportingKC
@drewfarmer.bsky.social#SportingKC beat #LAFC 3-1.
The performance raised the obvious question: why haven’t we seen more of this in '26?
I take a look at the win, the players who impressed, the ongoing defensive concerns & what this team still needs.
@kcsoccerjournal.bsky.social#SportingKC earn a big 3-1 win at home over #LAFC to snap their winless streak.
@mikedkuhn.bsky.socialTonight, #SportingKC ended their 10 game winless run in league play against LAFC and their 11 game winless run in all comps.
@danielsperrykc.bsky.socialMoisés Mosquera has the highest top speed of any player in MLS this Matchday (so far). He hit 21.88 mph in the 29th minute when beating Denis Bouanga in a footrace. #SportingKC
@xgpostfacto.bsky.socialWhat could've happened when #SportingKC played #LAFC ?
