Sporting Kansas City is currently the worst team in MLS, and their recent performance has been dismal. The club suffered a 5-0 loss to the Chicago Fire, which has left them on a pace to be one of the worst teams in MLS history. First-year head coach Rapha Wicky admitted that the season has been tougher than expected, citing a small roster and recurring injuries as major factors. Sporting Kansas City's expected goal differential is a full seven goals worse than 29th-ranked Austin FC, and they are last in shots taken. The club's struggles are evident, and it's clear that they need to make significant changes to turn their season around. Peter Vermes, the club's former soccer czar, departed in 2025, and new chief soccer officer David Lee has been working to build foundations across the club. However, the lack of a scouting department and analytics department has hindered the team's ability to make key signings. The primary transfer window was slower than expected, and the team has been forced to take its time in rebuilding. Sporting Kansas City's fans are eager to see improvement, but it's clear that the club has a long way to go. The team's last postseason trip was in 2023, and they have not had a winning season since then. With the World Cup coming to Kansas City this summer, the club's struggles are even more pronounced. The city will host four nations for base camps, and the soccer community is excited to see the world's best teams in action. But for Sporting Kansas City, the focus is on rebuilding and finding a way to compete in the MLS. Rapha Wicky's team is struggling to find its footing, and the coach is working to make adjustments. The club's U.S. Open Cup elimination to Colorado Springs Switchbacks was a tough loss, and the team is looking to bounce back. Sporting Kansas City's history is rich, with two MLS Cups, four U.S. Open Cups, and a Supporters' Shield. But the current team is a far cry from those successful squads. The club needs to find a way to turn its season around and make a push for the playoffs.
