Sporting Kansas City vs. St. Louis CITY SC | Full Match Highlights | April 20, 2024 

They've apparently tried to adopt a very German style of football. They brought in a handful of players with Bundesliga experience. Their sporting director came from Hoffenheim. I've heard the city has a lot of people of German heritage so that makes sense.

What Brit follows the MLS? Especially a team that Messi or Beckham aren't/wasn't on?

@@ericbrown1101 Definitely. Their style of play and rhythm is very similar to that of the Bunderliga2.

@@bentientcheu1853 Yep, been following MLS for 15 years now. Football is interesting wherever you go, and the development of the sport in the United States is very intriguing.

@@bentientcheu1853 Haha yep. I've been following for 15 years now.

I know and it’s gonna affect them later on in the season

It was amazing. Great intensity

Durkin's was great, Klauss' was borderline. probably because SKC were folding like lawn chairs 🤣

They need to hit the gym

The first one was clear The second one was 50/50 Some ref gonna call it he played the ball Some ref gonna call it a charge

Klauss got a call from the Blues' GM after the game

Really enjoying this rivalry so far, but it's not old enough to be "the best" yet. Seattle - Portland is probably still the best in MLS.

LAFC vs Galaxy…..

Nope, Seattle vs Portland will always be the top. However, St Louis vs Sporting has absolutely delivered more than New York or Hell is Real.

Nahhhhh New England vs Vancouver is easily, and obviously the greatest rivalry

@@chebemchukwu4481 yea overexxaterating

lmao

Only for Klaus. When reversed and it's the defender challenging, they always call it. There's just no consistency.

The first one was clear The second one was 50/50 Some ref gonna call it he played the ball Some ref gonna call it a charge.

How in the world did they deserve that? Look at the stats. They're lucky to take a single point at home.

I think he means they deserve to lose the lead, not that they deserved to win.

First time watching them?

@@GRITBONE Kind of - Casual MLS fan keeping up through highlights. It's hard to believe these guys are on salaries sometimes.

The club isn’t even 2 years old 😂 what have they done to deserve hate?

Grow a pair. Fair challenge

Shoulder against shoulder is not fault, learn about football bro

The rules are very close ...it depends on the ref Someone would call it fair challenge theres a chance he played the ball And the other would call it a charge

Cry more buttercup

KC definitely got called all night for weaker challenges. St. Louis got the benefit of the calls with the exception of maybe 2.

Too bad 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Who cares that is what makes sports and rivalries fun if everyone just sat together and cheered for each other it would be boring.

Nah man those chants are the best. I look forward to them anytime Seattle or LA come to town

Assuming you're a stl fan, at least you're one of the few that admits that...

Nut up

When a dispute is shoulder against shoulder is not fault

The first one was clear The second one was 50/50 Some ref gonna call it he played the ball Some ref gonna call it a charge . I advice u search shoulder to shoulder rule

@@footballforlife2643 Got to Hit the Weight Room

@@EPK123you still have to make a play for the ball though

especially with the chant: “f*ck st. louis”

​@@seclusivebark7563 dont be a pussy bruh 😂

Inferior? Which city does FIFA consider inferior? There’s only one Soccer Capital, that’s KC.

@@loganleroy8622 widdle baby thinks a football stadium makes them the soccer capital how cute

@@tiltedairi And the ignorant St Louis fan thinks that FIFA picked KC because of the stadium. Instead of the culture, the food, the people, the fans, the growing community (unlike the decaying community further east), and the ability to move around without rush hour.

? Ur mom gay

It's sad how SKC lives rent free in STL fans minds. What a lame fan base.

@@aidanwiehl2397 STL SC's front office didn't deliver a cease and desist letter to a fan podcast over calling it the soccer capital.....which is accurate. 28 years in the MLS nor Arrowhead make you a soccer hub.

Sporting KC can thank their defender Rosero for the referee letting those two shoulder checks slide which led to both first half goals for STL. If a player is trying so desperately to win an Oscar over and over again, you should expect the referee to hold his whistle when an actual foul occurs because no team should be rewarded with the benefit of the doubt when one of their players pretends to have a near death experience every time they get beat by an opponent. Why there is some expectation in soccer that diving and feigning injury shouldn’t be punished, but praised as a legitimate strategy to win a game is something I will never understand about this sport, as I couldn’t imagine a more embarrassing thing a professional athlete could do than to fake an injury over and over again as a way to beat an opponent. Like have some self respect or get off the field if you truly believe that faking an injury is the only way you can win a game.

@@BobbyBoucher228 you are breathing some real copium if you think rosero getting hit in the head multiple times and "acting" is the reason a referee didn't do his job to call a fair game. the ref all game called the smallest of fouls the players weren't concerned with and would let play heavy shoulder checks and slides. Also feigning an injury is a great strategy when you're up. Im pretty sure he didn't do it at all when they were up 1

@@ryanedmiston8725 An inflated ball from a pass deflected and hit him in the face on top of him almost dying on multiple occasions anytime he got beat by an opponent or St. Louis looked like they had a scoring chance coming. I can recall at least four times Rosero went down and and just somehow escaped death and was fine immediately afterwards. Too many times in this sport teams are rewarded for diving and feigning injury to get an advantage which does a real disservice to the MLS’s attempts to draw more fans to their league and makes other North American sports appear like better options since outside of the NBA no other league embraces flopping as an important strategic aspect of their game like soccer does. The fact that you believe feigning injury is a positive thing for a professional athlete to do as a means to beat another team perfectly explains the issue, you embrace classless behavior as a legitimate way for a professional team to win a game. To be clear all of the shenanigans that Rosero pulled were before St. Louis got their first goal in the first half when Kansas City was up a goal.

Cry more

​@@BobbyBoucher228so you just happened to miss all the times stl players just fell down from minimal contact? Big tree fall hard.

Immediately followed by an F u to Kansas City with a goal. Talk about making a fan base eat their words.

Gotta be reminded who their daddy is.

The first one was clear The second one was 50/50 Some ref gonna call it he played the ball Some ref gonna call it a charge

brother soccer chants get way worse than that lol grow up

@ryanedmiston8725 brother I've been around soccer for a long time and I know what they're like that doesn't mean it's warranted out of no where especially when there's a rivalry this young and it didn't seem like anything worthy of it happened in the game yet u got half the stadium chanting it like it's the playoffs or they're playing dirty

​​@@obrother3750 bro you are fucking soft, its just a basic chant, in southamerica is way worse and i love it 😅. If you dont like it go and watch golf pussy

nah pal ur getting flamed for this one aint no way u gonna talk about unclassy when it makes the game better

@@obrother3750That wasn’t half the stadium, they had a mic on the supporters section and the production fan didn’t turn down their volume.
