The word “rebuild” has been tossed around a few times this offseason when people talk about Sporting Kansas City. It’s a bit odd; yes, the club has two new wide forwards, and there’s talk that defensive midfielder Ilie Sanchez is a game-changer, but other than that? There are a lot of familiar faces from the group D.C. United managed to steal three points from last season.
Even within the new faces, KC has stayed the course. Soony Saad and Igor Juliao played for the Sporks in the distant past (er, 2014).
