The Missouri History Museum in St. Louis opened its Soccer City exhibit in April, which showcases the history of soccer in St. Louis, starting back in 1875.
St. Louis has more to prove than just its roots in soccer culture tonight, however. The team goes into tonight’s match with back-to-back loses against the Chicago Fire, which knocked them out of the U.S. Open Cup and then gave them a loss in a regular season MLS match. CITY has not gotten an MLS win since their 5-1 win against Cincinnati on April 15. CITY is 6-1-4 on the season with a 9-point goal differential.
The game is just different here.
