Kei Kamara likely in the 18, but won't start

Looks like there will be a good chance that Kamara is in the 18 for tonight's match, but Peter Vermes says he won't start.

Sporting Close to Jersey Sponsor

Interesting article in the Kansas City Business Journal about an upcoming jersey sponsor. I kind of liked not having a sponsor on our shirts but I understand it is a business decision.

Thierry Henry suspended for plowing Kei Kamara + SKC player ratings in FIFA 13

Thierry Henry suspended for plowing Kei Kamara + SKC player ratings in FIFA 13

Actually pretty similar to the stunt he pulled last year in kneeing a sitting Roger Espinoza off the ball--this time, Henry plows into Kei Kamara off the ball (on a set piece that wasn't close to being ready to begin) and again tries to make it look like accidental contact.

The Disciplinary Committee's one-game suspension is a joke, though, because NYRB's next game is against New England, so it was doubtful that Henry would play anyways because Gillette Stadium has a turf pitch. That's barely a slap on the wrist.

In unrelated news, and because I don't like only whining in my fanshots, I've been tinkering with the FIFA 13 Ultimate Team web app (the full game comes out next Tuesday) and can report on most of the SKC player ratings in FIFA 13:

Jimmy Nielsen: 70
Eric Kronberg: 58
Jon Kempin: 56
Chance Myers: 65
Aurelien Collin: 70
Matt Besler: 67
Seth Sinovic: 65
Michael Harrington: 64
Neven Markovic: 61
Lawrence Olum: 61
Cyprian Hedrick: 57
Julio Cesar: 68
Roger Espinoza: 68
Graham Zusi: 70
Peterson Joseph: 64
Paulo Nagamura: 62
Michael Thomas: 61
Oriol Rosell: 61
Bobby Convey: 66
CJ Sapong: 67
Teal Bunbury: 67
Kei Kamara: 68
Soony Saad: 61
Dom Dwyer: 60
Korede Aiyegbusi: 58

(...if any of y'all play Ultimate Team, hit me up when the full version comes out. I'm not very good, but I'm hopelessly hooked on UT.)
