KANSAS CITY, Kan.
Nick Foles Womens Jersey . -- The Montreal Impacts winless streak has grown to seven. And based on its performance Saturday night, the end may not be anywhere near. Sporting Kansas City handed Montreal a 4-0 defeat on Saturday -- the Impacts worst loss to date -- in front of 20,306 fans at Sporting Park, the venues 40th consecutive sellout. "Its a tough result because we actually played well in the first half," Montreal midfielder Justin Mapp said. "But in a place like this, you have to capitalize on your chances and find a way to win, and we didnt do enough tonight." It started ugly for the Impact. It only got worse. Sporting KC striker Dom Dwyer scored a pair of second-half goals -- giving him four in his past four matches -- but the clubs best offensive output of the season required some help from Montreal. Montreal midfielder Calum Mallace actually supplied the first goal of the match, it just wound up in the wrong net. After Sporting KC defender Matt Besler launched one of his signature long throw-ins into the goalie box, Mallace attempted to clear the pass away from danger, but instead he flicked a header into his own goal. For a team that entered the night having allowed the most goals per game in the Eastern Conference, it certainly didnt help the Impacts cause. "It was a fluke goal," Mallace said. "You dont want to concede any goal, but when they score one like that, its even harder." To make matters worse, it spoiled an otherwise flawless opening 60 minutes from the Montreal defence in one of the leagues toughest venues for opponents. Montreal (0-4-3) owned the better of the chances in the opening half, but it couldnt manage to capitalize on any of them. Though it certainly came close. In the 14th minute, Felipe Martins and Marco Di Vaio broke free for a two-on-one and executed the play well. Di Vaio forced Sporting KC keeper Eric Kronberg off his line, then shifted a quick pass to Martins, who fired toward an unmanned goal. Except Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin managed to get back in time to clear the ball off the line, preserving the third shutout of the MLS season for Kronberg. "It was disheartening," Mapp said. "We have two or three really good chances to go up one (goal) ourselves, and they they kind of get a half-chance play like that to go in. Its tough. But we were still in a decent spot at halftime." The shutout disappeared with the fluke goal. And the offensive chances soon disappeared, too. Montreal didnt manage a shot on goal in the second half, instead watching Sporting KC (3-1-2) produce an unanswered onslaught of offence. Collin moved up from his spot in the Sporting KC central defence to score in the 71st minute. After Dwyer battled for a loose ball in the goalie box, it fell to Collin, who chipped a left-footed shot past Montreal keeper Troy Perkins for his second goal of the season. Dwyer joined the fun shortly thereafter. He finished off a crossing pass from late-game substitute Jacob Peterson in the 74th minute, then headed home a crossing pass from Graham Zusi in the 86h minute. "We just came out a little flat in the second half," Mapp said. "Against a team like that, you really have to be disciplined and tuned-in for 90 minutes. If youre not, they can pod goals quickly like they did." Again searching for its first victory of the season, Montreal returns home Saturday for a match against Philadelphia.

Hes free from his at best prickly relationship with Mike Shanahan and his offensive coordinator son, his new coach is both quarterback friendly and player friendly, and hes now two years removed from his major knee injury - generally when most players recovering from that type of injury start to fully look themselves again. Lets start with the coaching change. Despite what player and (former) coach said on record, its clear the two werent made for each other and both suffered – along with the rest of the team – because of it last year. While Griffin actually threw for more yards last year than his impressive rookie campaign despite playing two less games, his rushing and scoring totals were both down. Some of that was because the former second overall still wasnt fully recovered from his brutal knee injury a year ago, but that doesnt fully account for the team dropping seven games in the win department and four spots in total offence. Taking over for Shanahan is Jay Gruden, who put up similar offensive numbers with a less-talented quarterback as offensive coordinator in Cincinnati last season. If nothing else, the switch to Gruden will lead to a less contentious workplace in Washington. “Weve had a lot of time to work together and get to know each other, Gruden told the Sporting News of Griffin at training camp. “I think were both happy with how were communicating, and what were implementing is not something hes totally unfamiliar with — the things were doing are things hes comfortable with and complement his strengths. Gruden has also been quick to dismiss Griffin of any wrongdoing in the new-school quarterbacks perceived feud with the old-school Shanahan. “A guy with as much success as hes had, as early as he is in this young stage of his life, some guys are like, Eh, I dont need your coaching, I dont need this, I wanna do it my way. Hes not that way at all. He wants to be coached, he wants to learn the game, he wants to study,” Gruden told NFL.com Still, a little flattery for new-school guys never hurts either. "I think the total package you look for in a quarterback, if youre going to create a player on Xbox, a quarterback, I think itd look like (Griffin)," Gruden continued to NFL.com. With the favourable coach taken care of, Griffins left only to worry about his health. And theres reason to believe that shouldnt be much of a concern this season. “Its unbelievable,” former teammate and now analyst Chris Cooley said of Griffins health on ESPN Radio during OTAs this spring. &ldquoo;Hes another person right now.

It was silly to watch.” “He looks more comfortable, because he doesnt have to worry about that brace,” teammate and second favourite target Santana Moss echoed to the Washington Post. “I think the brace was the big discomfort last year. All of that combined with a winnable division leads to a good share of optimism in Washington. A happy Robert Griffin should equal a happy Redskins fan base. Notes Another fallout from Shanahans dismissal came in the front office. President and GM Bruce Allen goes from being a cap specialist to making personnel decisions. This is the first time in his career Allen will have final say on the roster and football operations, but with an owner like Dan Snyder, theres sure to be some meddling and “coming over the top.” The Redskins said goodbye to longtime linebacker London Fletcher after the 16-year veteran, who spent the last seven years of his career in Washington, decided to retire. The 39-year-old was the heart and soul of Washingtons defence, and leaves a hole in the teams strong linebacking corps. Hes not the next Rob Gronkowski or Jimmy Graham, but hes in the group up for discussion. The third-round pick only played nine games last year after a concussion prematurely ended his season, but showed a lot of promise. Reed will look to build off his 45 catches and 499 receiving yards from last year. Already with one of the leagues top possession receivers in Pierre Garcon, the Redskins added a burner to use alongside him – and also replace the aging Santana Moss – in Philadelphia Eagles castoff DeSean Jackson. If Jacksons head is in the game, he can help the Redskins receiving corps become one of the best in the league. Griffin smiles again. Jackson was far from the only free agent brought in to Washington this off-season. The Redskins had one of the biggest hauls in the league highlighted by defensive tackle Jason Hatcher, who should be a big upgrade along Washingtons defensive line, and defensive backs Tracy Porter and Ryan Clark, who will look to help the teams struggling secondary. Still without a first round pick after the Griffin trade, the Redskins nevertheless pulled off a decent draft. Their first pick was linebacker Trent Murphy in the second round, who will help the somewhat depleted linebacking corps. They also added offensive tackle Morgan Moses, a steal in the third round, and fringe Heisman candidate Lache Seastrunk, a running back from Griffins alma mater Baylor. ' ' '
