"To be fair, I have not seen the stats and the stats don't help me now, obviously. They're a good team, they're a strong team, they're very athletic, they have good players. We knew that before. And everything went their way. I felt like we went on the field with the mindset of not making a mistake or of not losing. We have to try to go and play to win, not to not make a mistake."
"It's okay to be sometimes in a low block, but you don't have to be so low. That energy of basically not finding the moments to go with more courage is something which I think we need to start trying to change."
"The bottom side in the Western Conference remain adrift of the rest after four goals in the first 26 minutes at Providence Park helped Portland on their way to a 6-0 win. Sporting KC's minus-24 goal difference (eight scored, 32 conceded) is the worst in MLS history after 11 games, with Orlando City SC's minus-16 from this year coming in second."
"Wicky's side, along with Orlando, are the first two teams in MLS history to concede 32 times in their first 11 matches of a campaign, leaving both with work to do at this stage. Sporting KC will be hoping to spark their season into life, but their next opponents are an LA Galaxy side unbeaten in their last three MLS matches."
Sporting Kansas City hit a new low after conceding four goals in the first 26 minutes and losing 6-0 to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. The team remains bottom in the Western Conference and has a minus-24 goal difference after 11 games, with eight scored and 32 conceded, the worst in MLS history for that point in a season. Sporting KC and Orlando City SC are the first two MLS teams to concede 32 times in their first 11 matches. Raphael Wicky attributed the defeat to a mindset focused on avoiding mistakes rather than playing to win, and urged more courage and higher positioning. The next match is against an LA Galaxy side unbeaten in its last three MLS games.
