Congratulations to MLS Cup Champions Sporting KC

Game went all the way to penalties.


A beautiful pass by Beckerman set up Saborio for the opening goal.

Collin equalized later.

Good game.

Epic Shootout.

Went a full 10 rounds. Thats 20 kicks. Only the 2 Keepers didn't take one.

A pretty damn good MLS game, I'd say. Lots of attacking by both squads and not a lot of the goon-style horsecrap that you see some sides base their strategy on. Both teams tried to win it outright during the extra time which made for some agonizing exchanges and riveting back-and-forth. Only in the last five minutes or so did both teams seem resigned to penalties, and even when it got there, that was about as intense a shootout as you're going to see.

Nice. I didn't expect that at all. I thought they were good just not championship good, my bad given I watch all their games since I live here and the stadium is 20 minutes away from me maybe?
