MNUFC GAME NOTES Minnesota United FC vs. Sporting Kansas City | Allianz Field, Saint Paul, Minnesota | October 31, 2021
LAST TIME OUT | Minnesota United FC @ Vancouver Whitecaps Tale of Two Halves Minnesota United came into Wednesday’s midweek match with the Vancouver Whitecaps needing to take three points only a little more than they needed to take them away from the Caps, who sat just a point behind them in the standings. There wasn’t much between the two sides in the first half but then just before stoppage time, the Whitecaps nudged ahead on a defensive mistake. They then doubled the lead in the 63rd minute on a goal from Brian White and held on despite a late goal for Fanendo Adi to take it 2-1 and climb into fifth place as the Loons fell to eighth.

The Time is Now The Nicest Rivalry is back in Saint Paul this Sunday at noon and promises to be anything but. Now that the Loons are sitting just below the playoff line, they will have everything to play for in this game against a strong Sporting Kansas City side. With some of the last points of the season up for grabs, the Loons will need to make a quick turnaround from their trip to Vancouver and focus on getting a result at home to ensure a spot in the postseason.

MINNESOTA UNITEDUNITED NEWS AND NOTES 2015 MINNESOTA FC GOAL MAP Head Coach Adrian Heath on reflections from Wednesday’s loss “Disappointed with the result first off. I thought we controlled most of the game, Robin [Lod] had a really good chance by his standards, but I don’t think we worked the final third enough considering the amount of play that we had. I think we were ahead in every stat apart from the important one which was a goal. We spoke about the goal, you can’t get beat by a 75-yard ball straight down the middle and as I said goals change games. We didn’t start the second half particularly well, but we worked our way into it. Adrien [Hunou] had the good chance off the post and then we go and concede straight after. I don’t think we did enough in terms of what we can do. As I said to the players after the game against LAFC, I would’ve been incredibly proud of the players even if we had lost the game, because of the way we went about the game. I don’t think we went about the game [against Vancouver] in the same manner. Big game on the weekend, and a big game means big players, so we need to step up.” Midfielder Wil Trapp on Sporting KC from the attack “The LA Galaxy game really sums them up in terms of they are great at isolating their wingers and creating danger from guys like Johnny [Russell] or Daniel Salloi, or Khiry Shelton is a danger as well. The back half of their team is very organized in how they want to break opponents down and how they get those guys in those moments and once that happens they can be very effective. So for us it’s a situation where it’s a must win, truly. We say that but this is actually a game where it’s a must win in front of our fans. Understanding that they are in good form and we need to be very stout defensively, but when we have our opportunities we need to score.” Defender Michael Boxall on added pressure playing at home with so much on the line “It doesn’t really make a difference for me, whether its gameday one with thirty-three games to go or it’s the season on the line you go in with the same intentions and that’s to pick up three points especially at home and that’s what we’ve got to do.”

ABOUT MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 27 teams from across the United States and Canada. After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny. The league’s first game was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 20 teams play in soccer-specific venues. The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 games during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and teams in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away games. The top seven teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs. Starting in 2019, the league adopted a new single-elimination format for the entirety of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top seven teams in each conference qualify for postseason, with the regular-season conference champions receiving a first-round bye. The second through seventh seeds will play the opening round games, with the highest seed hosting games throughout the tournament. The winners will move on to join the oneseed teams in the conference semifinals. The winner of each conference championship will move on to the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.

Sporting Kansas City (17-7-7, 58 pts.) looks to secure a top-two finish in the Western Conference this weekend whent he side travels north to take on Minnesota United FC (12-11-9, 45 pts.) at Allianz Field on Sunday afternoon. With a win, Sporting could no longer be caught by the Colorado Rapids in third, and would juke it out with the Seattle Sounders for top-spot in the West over the final week of the season. Sporting will look to claim the season series against the Loons on Sunday, having already gone 1-0-1 against Adrian Heath’s side so far in 2021. The first match, on Aug. 21, 2021, saw Sporting hang on to claim a valuable point following a 0-0 draw. After a promising start to the match, Sporting were reduced to 10 men after referee Marcos DeOliveira brandished a red card to Sporting midfielder Remi Walter in the 21st minute, leaving Peter Vermes’ side to navigate the remaining 69 minutes down a man. Minnesota paid a return visit to Kansas City on Sept. 15, 2021, with Sporting cruising to a comfortable 4-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park. Khiry Shelton opened the scoring early before Daniel Salloi and Johnny Russell gave their side a three-goal advantage at the halftime interval. Cam Duke added a fourth goal early in the second half to secure the victory. Sporting holds a 7-3-3 record against the Loons in MLS regular-season play, including a 1-2-3 mark on the road in Minnesota. Sporting has also gone 1-1-1 in matches played at Allianz Field.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 31, 2021 at Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BACK IN FIRST
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
RUSSELL FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS
Sporting Kansas City (17-7-7, 58 pts.) are back in first place and look to solidify their position as the team travels North to take on Minnesota United FC (12-11-9, 45 pts.) at Allianz Field on Sunday afternoon. Sporting vaulted back into first place with a 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy on Wednesday, which also clinched a top-three finish in the West and guaranteed at least one home game in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell extended his club record during Wednesday night’s 2-0 victory over the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park, bagging a goal in the eighth consecutive game - this time bagging a brace with a goal late in each half to secure all three points and clinch a home game in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Russell’s eight-game scoring streak is not only the longest in club history, but it’s also the longest in MLS this season. Only three MLS players - Josef Martinez, Carlos Vela and Diego Valeri - have pieced together longer scoring streaks throughout league history.
With Wednesday’s win over LA, Sporting’s 12 multi-goal wins are three more than any other club this season. Vermes’ men are a perfect 17-0-0 this year when scoring two or more goals and 0-7-7 when scoring one or fewer. In addition, Sporting extended their club record home scoring streak to 31 games, which started on Aug. 10, 2019 and is the longest active streak in MLS.
Russell also hit another milestone with his first goal on Wednesday, as he overtook former Colorado Rapids ace John Spencer for most goals by a Scottish player in league history. Since joining the league in 2018, Russell’s 69 combined goals and assists in the regular season trail only Carlos Vela of LAFC and Josef Martinez of Atlanta United FC.
Sporting KC Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes enjoyed a milestone night on Wednesday, as the 13th-year man at the helm became the fourth person to coach 400 MLS regular season matches and the first to do so with one club. Vermes also reached the milestone on the night the club recorded its 400th win in club history in all competitions.
Russell was named the MLS Player of the Week and earned a spot in the MLS Team of the Week for his performance against the Galaxy.
CREATIVE KINDA AND ACCURATE WALTER
Sporting will close out the regular season with three matches over the final seven days of the regular season, starting with Sunday afternoon’s clash with Minnesota United FC at 12 p.m. CT. That will be followed by another road match on short rest at expansion side Austin (Nov. 3), before a Decision Day bout with longtime rivals Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park (Nov. 7).
Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gadi Kinda has deputized as a false 9 in each of Sporting’s last two games - both resulting in victories over Seattle Sounders FC and the LA Galaxy. During Wednesday’s victory over LA, Kinda enjoyed the first multi-assist game of his MLS career, as he set up both of Johnny Russell’s goals on the night. The pair of assists takes Kinda’s stat line on the season to five goals and six assists, while his total since the Israeli international joined the club ahead of the 2020 campaign now stands at 11 goals and 10 assists in 42 regular-season appearances.
SEEDING SCENARIOS
Sporting Kansas City has already clinched a berth in the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs and secured a top-three finish with at least one home playoff match following the victory over the Galaxy on Wednesday night. It’s the 10th time in the last 11 seasons that Sporting has advanced to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes has now qualified for a league-record 17 playoff campaigns as a player and coach.
Another Sporting midfielder stood out in Wednesday’s victory over the Galaxy, namely Remi Walter who was fresh off being named to the MLS Team of the Week for his performance in Seattle over the weekend. Walter’s showing was highlighted by a perfect 35-of-35 passing performance. Since 2010, a Sporting player has finished with 30 or more passes and 100% passing accuracy in a match just four times - Walter has accounted for three of those four occasions this season alone.
• Sporting can clinch a top-two finish in the Western Conference with a victory at Minnesota United FC on Sunday afternoon.
LOONS CALLING
MLS ANNOUNCES BALLOT FOR END OF YEAR AWARDS
Sporting Kansas City hits the road for their penultimate away match of the 2021 MLS regular season when the team takes on Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field in St. Paul on Sunday afternoon.
On Thursday, Major League Soccer announced the nominees for the 2021 End of Year Awards. MLS will release a list of finalists prior to the start of the Audi 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs. MLS Year-End Awards will be determined through voting from three groups: Current MLS players, MLS clubs (coaches, technical directors/general managers) and select media members representing local and national outlets.
Sporting will be looking to claim the season series against the Loons on Sunday, having already posted a 1-0-1 mark in 2021. The first clash on Aug. 21 at Allianz Field was a feisty affair, as Sporting midfielder was shown a straight red card in the 21st minute for a challenge on Emanuel Reynoso. Despite playing the remaining 69 minutes with 10 men, Sporting held firm to pick up a valuable point on the road.
Sporting KC Nominees: 2021 MLS End of Year Awards • Landon Donovan MLS MVP: Daniel Salloi and Johnny Russell • MLS Defender of the Year: Andreu Fontas and Ilie Sanchez • MLS Comeback Player of the Year: Daniel Salloi • Allstate MLS Goalkeeper of the Year: Tim Melia • MLS Newcomer of the Year: Remi Walter • Young Player of the Year: Jaylin Lindsey and Cam Duke • MLS WORKS Humanitarian of the Year: Ilie Sanchez • Sigi Schmid MLS Coach of the Year: Peter Vermes
In the return fixture, Sporting cruised to a 4-0 victory over Minnesota at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 15. Khiry Shelton headed Sporting into an early lead before a Daniel Salloi volley and a Johnny Russell penalty all but sealed the points before halftime. Cam Duke added a fourth shortly after the interval to send the Loons home pointless. Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series against Minnesota 7-3-3 since the Loons joined MLS in 2017. That inclues a 1-2-3 mark on the road and a 1-1-1 record at Allianz Field - where Sporting has gotten a win and a draw in their last two visits.
POSTGAME PV
On the magnitude of the win over LA: “We have three games to go, but I’ve always said games in hand don’t mean anything if you don’t win them. This is the first of four games and it was important for us to get these at home. Now we go on the road to a tough game at Minnesota. They’re a very good team, and always a difficult game. This was very important for us today. It was huge. LA is a really good team. When we come into this area at the end of the season and go up against LA who wants to make the playoffs, a team that made a big change, their coach is different their staff is different, they’ve made a lot of changes in players and they’re an organized team. It’s a tough game for us. Then you take the conditions of the weather and something can happen in the game. Somebody can slip or something happens to a guy and the next thing you know it goes the wrong way. For our guys to start the way we did, which was a big focus of ours, score in the first half, score in the second half and keep a clean sheet against a team like this it was big for us, really big.”
PULSKAMP ENJOYS BIG NIGHT vs. FORMER TEAM
With the announcement that the MLS Disciplinary Committee had suspended Tim Melia for one match on Wednesday, it was left to 20-year-old goalkeeper John Pulskamp to step in between the pipes during the matchup against the Galaxy this week. In his sixth first-team appearance of 2021 and made two smart saves en route to his first career MLS shutout. In doing so, Pulskamp became the youngest Kansas City keeper to record an MLS clean sheet. YOUNGEST SPORTING KC GOALKEEPERS TO RECORD A SHUTOUT (MLS REGULAR SEASON, ALL-TIME) • • • • •
On Johnny Russell’s form: “This is what I saw when I was looking at him to bring him here. With the way that we play, it’s always an emphasis to have wingers that try to get isolated. If they can, with the way that we play you have to have guys that can break people down and he can do it. He was a monster tonight. Johnny has that it factor. He shows up in the big moments. He’s mentally tough. He gives everything he has all the time. When he did that slide tackle with his knees to block the ball that goes out of bounds, he’s just doing everything that he can to win. He just has a great mentality. It’s infectious for the rest of the guys on the team and it’s one of the big reasons why he’s the captain.”
John Pulskamp | 20 years, 191 days | W 2-0 vs. LA on 10/27/21 Garth Lagerwey | 23 years, 200 days | W 1-0 at DAL on 06/29/96 Will Hesmer | 24 years, 199 days | W 1-0 at CLB on 06/10/06 Chris Snitko | 25 years, 211 days | W 2-0 vs MIA on 08/23/98 Mike Ammann | 26 years, 91 days | W 1-0 vs LA on 05/10/97
Pulskamp is a product of the LA Galaxy Academy, playing in 23 games for the Galaxy U-17s and U-19s prior to signing with Sporting KC II in 2019. His first clean sheet victory at the MLS level just so happened to come against his formative youth club.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 31, 2021 at Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes
Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.
Peter Vermes is in his 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 206 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 172 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.
He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.
On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 473 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.
With over 13 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the eighth longest active run.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.
Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.
After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.
Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.
In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.
Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.
Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his fifth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.
For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final. Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year
A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

He appeared in 26 matches as PSV captured another Eredivisie title. Isimat and PSV won their third title in four years in 2017-2018. In early 2019, Isimat joined Besiktas in Turkey, starting 14 matches during the latter half of the season. For the 2019-20 campaign, the defender was loaned back to Ligue 1 for a stint with Toulouse, making 16 starts.
Born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, Isimat competed in the famous Clairefontaine youth academy from 2004-2007 before continuing his development at Rennes and Valenciennes. He began his professional career as an 18-year-old in 2010 and spent the next three seasons as a regular starter for Valenciennes. Isimat-Mirin landed a transfer to French title contender Monaco, where he played 11 matches for the club in all competitions during the 2013-14 season.
Isimat represented France as a U-20 and U-21 youth international and notably featured during 2013 UEFA European U-21 Championship qualifying. He struck a center back partnership alongside future World Cup winner Raphael Varane as France finished atop their qualifying group.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Sporting made the loan move permanent ahead of the 2021 season. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season.
He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.
Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.
Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has five caps for the senior Israeli National Team, making his debut on June 5, 2021 when he scored the final goal in a 3-1 friendly win over Montenegro. He previously represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels.

Height: 6-4 Weight: 185 Birthday: 5/28/2002 Hometown: Floyds Knobs, Indiana Last Club: Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) Acquired: Signed as a Homegrown on 1/20/2021 Goalkeeper Brooks Thompson signed a Homegrown contract with Sporting Kansas City in early 2021 and is one of 12 active Homegrown players on the current roster. Thompson has two seasons of professional experience with Sporting Kansas City II in the USL Championship. He led Sporting KC II goalkeepers during the shortened 2020 campaign with 26 saves and a 1.17 goals against average in six matches.
Thompson, who grew up in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, joined the Sporting KC Academy in the summer of 2018 following a two-year stint with the IMG Academy in Florida. He played a leading role for the U-19s during the 2018-19 Development Academy campaign, posting a 7-2-3 record with four clean sheets while also featuring in the Generation adidas Cup.
Thompson exploded for a career-high nine saves in his 2020 debut on July 18 at Indy Eleven, including one that placed second in USL Championship Save of the Year voting. He earned his first professional clean sheet two weeks later against the same team, saving four shots in a 1-0 win to land USL Championship Team of the Week honors.
After logging two preseason appearances for the Sporting KC first team in early 2019, Thompson made his jump to the USL Championship in March of that year. At 16, he became the youngest professional signing in Sporting KC II history and claimed victory in his pro debut against Hartford Athletic on July 17, 2019, at Children’s Mercy Park.

Central midfielder Remi Walter signed with Sporting KC in December 2020, having amassed nearly 200 professional appearances since 2012, spanning seven full seasons in his native France and one season in Turkey. He boasts experience in several prestigious European competitions, including the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League qualifying, French Ligue 1 and the Turkish Super Lig. A native of Essey-les-Nancy, Walter developed in Nancy’s youth academy before joining the first team as an 18-year-old in 2013. He became a regular starter in the early stages of the 2013-14 season and spent the next two and a half years as an integral midfield contributor for the side before being transferred to French title contender Nice in early
2016. Walter helped the club to a fourth-place finish as well as qualification to the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League. The following season, he made 26 appearances as Nice took another step forward by placing third in Ligue 1 and booking a spot in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League. Walter split the 2017-18 campaign between Nice and Troyes on loan, before returning to Nice in the summer of 2018. Walter transferred to Turkish first division outfit Yeni Malatyaspor in January of 2020 before departing later that summer. On the international stage, Walter was a French youth international who participated in a number of high-profile tournaments, namely the 2012 UEFA U-17 Championship in Slovenia and qualifying for the 2017 UEFA U-21 Championship in Poland.
