I think SKC was still the Wizards? Maybe it resonated more in other places, but all I picked up was, "it's just a friendly," even from most MLS people (because they knew it was a blip that meant very little, just like this 7-0 game).

SKC took off with a new stadium coinciding with a new brand. I dunno if the ManU game meant all that much. Like do you think people in KC like SKC less cuz they lost to Man City? They're just summer tourist attractions, I don't think they have that much effect on MLS, good or bad.
