Sporting KC’s season ended last night at Livestrong

- It’s officially the offseason for the Blue Hell.
They believed they would win. And they did. They just didn’t score enough goals in the process. Though Sporting KC won last night 1-0 at Livestrong Sporting Park, it’s the Houston Dynamo that will be advancing to the Eastern Conference finals on aggregate goals.
Sporting KC played with urgency and passion, a reminder of what it’s like to have a team that wants to win as badly as the crowd screaming its light-blue-covered head off. It was inspiring. Graham Zusi is still running. Roger Espinoza was America’s best challenger since Matlock. But no moment was more indicative of Sporting’s effort than the seconds following the game’s only goal. Seth Sinovic, after notching his first professional goal, picked up the ball, sprinted to the center of the pitch, slammed it down and essentially told Houston, “game on.” There was no pointing to the scoreboard, no real celebration. It was just a question of completing what the team set out to do.
