The chances of Sporting Kansas City actually signing NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco to a MLS contract still seems slim, at best, but it does look like we’ll at least be able to see him play in a competitive match. Ochocinco says he’s been asked to stick around for Monday’s reserve game. The match is not one of the 10 Reserve League matches SKC will be playing against other MLS teams. The MLS hopeful broke the news on Twitter, and the official SKC account seemingly added merit to that news by retweeting the message.
