S3E31 - For the Glory KC is back with the 96th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City didn't lose this week. Of course, they didn't play either. However, they did make some news. They finally made a signing, basically their first "big" signing of the year. We technically don't know how much new center back Joaquin Fernandez is making, but I'd guess he's on a Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) deal which is more than the four minimum contract guys that were signed in the offseason. It may be less, but it won't be the minimum. After making guesses how Joaquin will fit in, Sheena and I took a listener question and basically did an entire podcast about it. If we didn't have to follow any roster rules and could ignore contract lengths, who would we actually keep on this team? We didn't go through every single player on the roster, but we hit the vast majority of it. There were definitely a few surprised decisions and a few super on brand for us. It's an interesting exercise because it reminds you it's hard to let go. There are only four players fully out of contract after the season and there was an argument to keep all but one of them in some capacity (though I personally took a harder stance). Then most of the players that Sheena and I agreed we should move on from if the roster rules and contracts didn't apply, aren't out of contract and can't really be moved on from at all without a trade, transfer or the use of the single buyout. In other words, the 2025 edition of Sporting KC will probably look a lot like the 2024 version. It's important the changes that are made, are done to perfection. The rebuild for Sporting KC may be long and hard. Thankfully, we have the KC Current to lift us up in these dire times. They played in The Women's Cup this week and won the whole dang thing, lifting the first trophy in club history. Shame so little of you saw it, unless you happened to own a Vizio TV. Seriously, the channel was only available on a specific brand of TV in the United States. Wild choice by the organizers of this competition. In addition to the two wins, we give the tiniest insights on new KC Current signing Jereko and where she may fit in. In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few topics, including: FIFA Fan Fest coming to KC in 2026 Sporting KC's Academy rankings (eek!) A few KC Current transactions And potential new USMNT coach, Mauricio Pochettino Here is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sporting KC finally make a signing - 5:29 No rules Sporting KC fantasy GM - 20:59 KC Current win two more! - 1:11:29 KC Current make another signing - 1:24:46 Digital Crawl - 1:27:21 Upcoming Schedule: SKC II vs. Austin FC II, Sunday, August 18th @ 6:00PM Sporting KC vs. Orlando City, Saturday, August 24th @ 7:30PM KC Current AT Washington Spirit, Sunday, August 25th @ 11:00AM SKC II have next weekend off We recently turned on "Listener Support."

S3E30 - For the Glory KC is back with the 95th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City came back down to earth this week with two losses just days apart to get bounced from the Leagues Cup. First, there was a competitive game against Toluca FC that featured a beautiful Stephen Afrifa goal, only to come up short. But SKC won the expected goals (xG) battle and showed some promise. Then Vermes benched Willy Agada and went back to Alan Pulido and the team had an abysmal 4-0 loss against the Columbus Crew that only had an xG of 0.1 over the 90 minutes. The Crew are really good, but they made Sporting KC look even worse. And perhaps, SKC aided them in that. They kept it close for 44 minutes and then it went completely off the rails. Over the course of these two games, Sheena and I discuss some good news (returning injured players like Logan Ndenbe, Jake Davis and Dany Rosero) and a lot of bad news (Pulido playing the 10, Agada missing so many shots PV thought Pulido was the solution, etc.). In particular, we got to wondering if there is a starting center back among the five on the roster currently. Right now, the team has Andre Fontas, Robi Voloder, Robert Castellanos, Chris Rindov and Rosero. Of those, the team can literally move on from anyone but Rosero by simply letting their contract expire (Fontas) or not picking up their options (all the rest of them). So, what should they do? That part of the conversation picks up at 39:34 in the podcast. [Teaser for next week's pod: With no Sporting KC game, we're going to look at the whole roster and finally answer a prompt a fan asked us weeks ago about who we'd keep in a world without roster rules.] The KC Current did what they do and won both of their games this past week. They won their group in the Summer Cup and then won their semifinal matchup against the North Carolina Courage to make it to the finals (which are in October for some reason). Then we got into the roster movement the Current went through in the last week. Claire Lavogez is gone (though nothing has been officially announced), as is backup goalkeeper Hope Hisey. Then the team brought in a 33-year-old GK in Almuth Schult. What does it mean for AD Franch and Jordan Silkowitz? We give our thoughts. In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few topics, including: SKC II keep losing USMNT eliminated at Olympics My interview with Jake Reid A Sporting KC signing is coming Castellanos pronunciation Antoinne Griezmann isn't coming to KC Lots of KC Current stories Here is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sporting KC lose twice - 7:51 Who is Starter Quality of the SKC Center Backs? - 39:34 KC Current win two more times - 50:30 Three KC Current moves - 1:01:32 USWNT win the Olympics Gold - 1:13:00 Digital Crawl - 1:30:04 Upcoming Schedule: No Sporting KC games until August 24th (Orlando City) KC Current vs. Mamelodi Sundowns (Women's Cup) - Wednesday, August 14th @ 8:00PM CDT KC Current vs. either Atletico Madrid or Kobe (depending who wins/loses the first games) SKC II vs. Austin FC II, Sunday, August 18th @ 6:00PM (Rock Chalk Park) We recently turned on "Listener Support."

We, LoBar, LoJo, and Paul, are all Austin FC superfans with our own stories on how soccer came to be so important and influential to our lives. LoBar is a born and raised Austinite who fell in love with the sport once his hometown got a club. LoJo is a lifelong fan and player (DC United academy alum, nbd) who has been immersed in this club since it's inception and drives up from San Antonio every weekend to join the party at Q2. Paul is also a lifelong player and fan whose footy roots have been grounded in Austin since birth and now flourish in the horn section of La Murga de Austin week in and week out. Each episode will start with a “Kickoff” summarizing the talking points for that week's episode. There will be both a first and second half where we discuss topics like game reviews, game previews, tactics, lineups, tournament play, and our general expectations for the team. The halves will be split by a quick “Halftime” where we will chat about a specific player, a specific instagram photo, Austin FC II, transfer rumors, player acquisitions or departures, and more. And each episode will end with a “Stoppage Time” rundown where we rapid fire react to a number of topics related to Austin FC, MLS, and more. Thank y'all for tuning in and keep it playing for our debut episode!

On this week's first episode, Sheena and I breakdown the weekend games, including Sporting Kansas City travelling to the Philadelphia Union, the KC Current's home opener against the Portland Thorns and even a little Sporting KC II action as they hosted Austin FC II. Sporting KC made a lot of changes to their lineup, so we talk about what we liked and what we didn't. Sheena and I sat with the Blue Crew for the home opener, so we give a unique perspective on that game (well, I'm not sure how unique since it was as full as I've ever seen it for a Current game). We also delve into the KC Current's controversy around the handling of draft pick Mykiaa Minniss (here is a link to a story summing up that situation in The Athletic).
