It is a lot of fun to watch the performance of the great performing teams just few months or one year before the big tournament.

Sporting KC's +10 goal difference is only the second time in team history their goal difference has been in double digits positively.
Matt Besler ended the season playing 2,880 minutes in league play, tied for the 3rd most in team history for a single season with Preki in 1996 and Bo Oshoniyi in 2005.
