It shook out about as I would expect because i see Philly as declining and Portland as a real strong team but the difference in quality really struck me.

I think I would like to be a part of one of the south side supporters groups. I'll scope them out opening day.
But another part of me thinks that maybe the south side supporters groups just annoy everyone else behind them who didn't sign up for standing and chanting, etc. |

Zach - Thanks for the link. I've already visited the website. My plan is to go to the first game and scope them out. It looks like there are 3 groups to choose from. I'm not sure which one will be the best fit, but once I find one, the bad guys better watch out.
I went to the scrimmage and the event for season ticket holders last night. That was fantastic. I toured all the suites, chatted up everyone that would talk to me, and I even got to talk to Jimmy Nielsen for a little bit. He just came out of nowhere and said "Hi, how are you?" My inner 10 year old was in over drive. This organization is just such a stark contrast to the other teams in town. The reserve team could beat several teams in the league, and the management really seems committed to winning. |

I am trying to enjoy it like an underground band before the guys from the shark bar find out.

I really hope that I am not that guy Demonpenz.
I am new to the sport of soccer in general, but I have fallen head over heels. I generally watch many world cup games, just because of the spectacle. But I never watched club matches. It wasn't until last year that I watched MLS or school/club matches at any level. I went to 7 or 8 Sporting games last year. Sat in the members section for several, and probably only because of the free ticket program the team had. But I loved it. I watched my brother-in-law play Right Back for his high school team at all of his home games. And I became hopelessly addicted to FIFA 11/12. Something clicked. All of the sudden the player movements made sense and tactics became discernible. But most of all, I think I was just so damn impressed by the Sporting organization that I needed to find an excuse to like soccer (ended up loving it) just so I could root for a team where I didn't want to murder every member of management. I'm still young and naive in my soccer appreciation, so maybe I haven't developed the cynicism yet that I have for the chiefs and royals. I also am finding a distinct lack of quality information about players and other teams, so maybe I just don't know what I don't know. But for right now, I'm very impressed. |

Sounds like you are enjoying the ride verbaljitsu. I am as well. It is far more fun to think about and talk Sporting KC than the chiefs or royals.

I like sporting because can drive on nice roads to get there and it is closer than the K.
