SKC & RSL in the battle of the monograms, see it at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, WatchESPN, ESPN 94.5 & ESPN Deportes KC, never knew ESPN had so many outlets for KC. A tale of 2 local coaches, Long Island has Mike Petke, as NJ has Peter Vermes, both arrived at their current locations in totally different manners.

Looking to even it up Sunday, then taking the overall lead are the NYRB, Supporters Shield winners, most points EVER and many other accolades earned this 2018 season. Having almost twice the win total as their opponent, the 14-11-9 Crew would have one think it is quite the mismatch. See how it plays out Sunday at 3p.m. On ESPN, ESPN Deportes & NYRB Radio with Spanish coverage on TuneIn.
