It’s one of the most highly anticipated MLS seasons in recent memory after a crop of big signings by the league, but now it’s time for teams to do the talking on the pitch rather than off it.

Sporting Kansas City: Kronberg; Ellis, Collin, Besler (C), Gardner; Olum, Feilhaber, Zusi; Sapong, Dwyer, Peterson
