Descripción

We are back!  Cody has returned from his sojourn to the North and just in time for us to prepare for some kind of tournament that is being played here this summer?  Cup of the Worlds or something?  Is this like the Intercontinental Challenge Cup or something different?  Jokes aside, we are hours away from the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup and 7 weeks of soccer overstimulation to our senses, so it is good that we are getting together beforehand to discuss this sport that we all love. That said, this is a Sporting KC podcast, and it has been a minute since Cody and I have discussed SKC, so we do have a few mailbag topics to dig into while that team is on hiatus during the World Cup break, including a player rumor! and hopefully as that break continues some news will start to trickle in regarding more potential transfer moves and how the team is preparing for the 2nd half of the season.   Obviously the USMNT is kicking off their home World Cup campaign on Friday, on the heels of a couple decent, let’s call them professional performances vs Senegal and Germany.  Certainly a vast improvement on the last window vs Portugal and Belgium, and there are some interesting tidbits I think that we can take away from how these games went and how personnel performed that could inform the way this team will try to play this summer. There were also a couple supposed soccer games in Brazil for the USWNT, and they served a useful lesson for that team, if not really how to play the beautiful game, but rather how to survive when the opponent will simply not allow it to be beautiful in the first place,

Episode 190 - SKC gets ambitious(Mo Salah mentioned), the World Cup final is set, and MLS is Back!

The World Cup final is set, and do you know what that means?  MLS is Back, baby!  After inundating yourselves with game after game filled with the most talented players on earth, we bring you the only matchup that can satiate your desires for quality football:  Marcel Hartel vs. Wyatt Meyer.  Jokes aside, this dumb league we love so much is back in play in less than 24 hours as we record this podcast, and while I have enjoyed every minute of the World Cup, I am actually excited to get back to business and “take it from here” as it were. Sporting Kansas City remain in the news as the secondary transfer window officially opens and new signings can be registered.  They’ve already been linked to high priced winger Yann Gboho, but things did not stop there.  They apparently have multiple targets including one Liverpool legend that will have the other member of this podcast duo running straight to the Sporting Style store shouting shut up and take my money for a jersey should that move come to fruition.  It’s fun to be part of the hot stove discussion, and new majority owner Peter Mallouk is ensuring that the team has whatever resources necessary to make a splash and improve the talent on the roster. David Lee plus a cadre of folks sat with the media for almost an hour yesterday, the first time since early June that such a forum was made available, and there was a lot to glean from that conversation, and we will do our best to cover all those potential details. In Potpourri, we will discuss those captivating world cup semifinal matches and how they went down, as well as the Kansas City Current’s concerning road form continuing(as well as what might be causing it), including some injury and availability issues that could cause results to be harder to attain for the next several weeks. Finally we will preview the beginning of the 2nd half( ⅔’s?) of the season opener vs the scum in scumville.  SKC have signed reinforcements since they last took the field, and it will be fascinating to see how those integrate and if they can raise the competitive floor of the club.
