I know I haven't been around much but the new job is keeping me way busier than expected. But, I am hoping that I have things in place to at least get back here once a week. Here is some highlights from things that have happened recently in the world of SKC.

• SKC hit the transfer market and picked up a couple of foreign players to make an impact on the team this season and potentially in the future.

Sporting Kansas City recently opened a new stadium, and has now added another big-money player to help please the fans at Livestrong Sporting Park.

Sporting KC announced the signing of Brazilian playmaker Jeferson from Brazilian club Vasco de Gama. Jeferson joins Omar Bravo as one of two Designated Players on Sporting KC's roster, along with Omar Bravo.

For someone who is decidedly not a Santo Andre fan, this is purely awesome.

For someone who is a Santo Andre fan...probably awesome, but not purely, as they lost.

Jorge Valdivia, who is pure flair as it is, decided to up his dosage a bit with some showboating. And he got his on the back end via a flying Anderson, whose intent and timing was none too subtle.

I just saw this video with the top 10 goals of the year and thought it's worth sharing. Hamit Altintop won the ‘FIFA Puskas Award' for the goal of the year but all the other goals are worth watching as well.

It seems Nasri's mesmerizing run against Porto was 5th but I haven't been able to find any official list declaring the order.
