I don't understand your trolling on this one. It's good I can't be there to support the team?
I think the posters here are capable of having conversations about more than one game at a time.
Agree. That’s never been the rule. That’s fairly heavy handed, and self-defeating in that the talk will only end up elsewhere as an “off topic” post.
SKC has never lost a home opener at Children's Mercy Park, although they have only gone 2-0-5 in that stretch.
They also only lost one home game all last year, 0-1 to the Whitecaps in Sept.
So, not really expecting a win, but definitely hoping for a tie, and some decent looking soccer.
What ever the result, I'm just excited to start the season.
It’s gameday my dudes (and dudettes)

NYCFC_Dan didn’t we always have the next two matches up in the match threads? Why the change of policy this season?
Last year we had 7 shutouts. Five were Away Games. Last year SKC scored only 40 goals ranking 18th in the league. They dropped points 7 times at Home because they scored 4 goals in those 7 games. Their big offensive add was Khiry.
I want points tomorrow.

I believe we did 2 at a time yes.
I am hoping to catch a few more games on TV this season, although the first one I will have to record and watch the next day.
Do you guys feel the squad is any stronger this season?

Are you a federal prisoner? I can't think of any other reason for such a circumstance.
As of now, I think the consensus opinion is the squad is massively improved. Unfortunately, the majority as I perceive it also think that it is highly questionable as to whether or not we have actually meaningfully raised the ceiling of our best 11. And if we have, have we done so only in lock step with the league or have we taken the significant additional monies all teams were allowed to spend and consolidated and compounded our strengths.
To put it more specifically, we have only definitely improved at one position (right back). But the squad is definitely stronger from top to bottom. Instead of players that were utterly poor (Allen, Lopez, etc.) manning the bench, our subs should be much closer to the level of the first choices.
So, we ought to at least be ready for a cup run and any fixture congestion, assuming we ever win a cup match.
I am just surprised McNamara is still there and the club haven't gone big for a quality attacking midfielder. It seems the team will again be heavily reliant on Villa for the goals, which does worry me Midas. Hopefully, he stays fit and others can chip in with enough goals to make the team competitive.
I am also wondering if Mattarita may be better played ahead of Sweat with maybe Wallace playing in behind Villa. I think Wallace is the one other player who is capable of scoring goals and does work hard for the team.
