2023 wishes

The KC Current will have three trophies they're battling for, the NWSL Shield, NWSL Championship, and Challenge Cup. Sporting KC II and the KC Comets will both ...

I’d hope that the Comets can figure things out and make a push to finish at the top of the conference and try to make the MASL final.

For so long the excuses like money and being in the middle of the country have been used for why KC couldn’t get those top tier players that come to KC. For Sporting, they haven’t had a player on the league’s 22 under 22 list in the last two years. It’s a statement of intent from the club that they can and will compete with the likes of Los Angeles FC and
