In this week's episode of Stoppage Time, Full 90 editor and blogger Charles Gooch is joined by James Starritt of SportingTimes.net and Andy Edwards of the Sporting Kansas City podcast network to talk Sporting Kansas City in the wake of a 4-2 win over Toronto. Although, not everyone on the podcast feels the game was that great.
Also on the agenda: Has Kei Kamara broken his slump? Is the defense starting to resemble its early season form a little? And, at the mid-way point, who has been the team's MVP -- and who has been the most responsible for helping turn the team around?
Unfortunately, technical issues chopped off part two -- but there's still plenty of good talk packed into the pod.

Livestrong Sporting Park opened up with a little bit of everything: Pomp, circumstance and a guy in a cow suit on the field.
Full 90 editor Charles Gooch is joined by the Sporting Times' James Starritt to talk about Sporting's new home, the beauty of the new park, the dullness of the game, a bit about the ugly behavior from some fans and yes, the bovine pitch invader who netted the first goal in LSP history.
