Last night was not fun, but it was a tough hill to climb with trying to beat a team with a $95 million salary. SKC is less than $10 million maybe. I don’t know exactly. Time to focus on MLS!
Sorry we beat you in the U.S. Open Cup Final a couple years ago. I was at that game.
SKC likes this tournament since Lamar Hunt was the original owner of SKC (KC Wizards) and he also founded the KC Chiefs. Lamar Hunt had a huge impact on KC sports.
Lamar Hunt is pretty much the only reason MLS survived the early 2000s. Soccer in the U.S. owes his legacy even more than this tournament name. SKC, because of Hunt, is one of my favorites so long as the Red Bulls aren't on the field. And yes, as a Red Bulls fan, I'm well acquainted with losing the big game. Every big game. Supporters Shields are nice, but big game to win a trophy? Almost a 25 year history of consistent failure by my boys under any name. Still my team though!
