Preview: #SportingKC take on Toronto FC for the 2nd time in 3 weeks.
Again this game makes me nervous much like it did a couple weeks ago and this time Sporting is at home and it would be a bad thing for Sporting to get upset by a team like Toronto at their own home especially with Sporting playing so well lately and racking up all sorts of points for their playoff push. Games like this make me nervous though as they are pretty much considered a trap game. Add that with Collin being out for accumulated yellow cards and any sort of other factor you could think of and this game becomes a very interesting match for Sporting. Toronto at this point really doesn't seem have much to lose at this point in the season and so win, lose, or draw Toronto will probably walk out of this match with their heads up as long as they don't get completely smoked by Sporting. Sporting on the other hand keep building up pressure and tension that will eventually have to burst before the playoffs otherwise I feel like the playoffs could be a huge let down for all the Sporting fans. I know that Sporting doesn't want that as they have seemed to work so hard this season for just their fans and it would be a huge upset to see Sporting not possibly make it to the MLS Cup. I could possibly be wrong and maybe Sporting is just getting warmed up, but these next several weeks will be very telling for Sporting and how they might be viewing and expecting to do in the playoffs.
