It's our first ever interview and Nate was a great first ever guest.He was on to promote his new book that he co-authored with Rustin Dodd, "Perfect Pitch: How Kansas City became the Heart of American Soccer and Landed the World Cup."Nate was a delightful interview as we learned about how he got to the job he has today. He talked about the 70+ interviews he did and how he has caught the bug of writing and wants to keep writing. It sounds like he has the material for 10 books considering the folks he interviewed that didn't make it in.I got the chance to talk to Nate about being friends with a bunch of Sporting KC legends and future legends like Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber, Graham Zusi (aka Uncle Graham - you've gotta listen to get that story), Roger Espinoza and more!We learned about Kansas City nearly as much as we learned about soccer. Go follow Nate on Twitter and Instagram. He's also on a mission to find everyone on the cover of his book and give out a copy, so if you recognize anyone above hit us or Nate up!Speaking of free copies of the book, we're going to give away a copy here in the coming weeks if you aren't lucky enough to be able to buy one on your own.

With the World Cup just 16 days away, the wait is finally over: Mauricio Pochettino has named his 26-man squad for the World Cup on home soil! Poppy Miller, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Benny Feilhaber react to every major decision as the roster for the biggest tournament in modern USMNT history is officially revealed, and the pressure surrounding this group ahead of the World Cup's return to U.S. soil for the first time since 1994. The crew breaks down Pochettino's squad line-by-line, debates the strongest possible starting XI, and examines how players like Weston McKennie can help the U.S. handle the enormous expectations that come with a home tournament. The guys also react to the controversial revelation that some players were informed of their omission via email rather than a phone call, before discussing the notable absences of Diego Luna and Tanner Tessmann. Plus, with Gio Reyna headed to his second World Cup, Jimmy shares a personal message for the talented playmaker as he looks to seize his moment on the sport's biggest stage. And to close the show, we hear from Sergiño Dest and Alejandro Zendejas on the excitement, nerves, and responsibility of representing the Red, White and Blue at a home World Cup!

Chris Wittyngham, Tony Meola, and Benny Feilhaber react to the news that Johnny Cardoso will require ankle surgery, and what it could mean for the makeup of the USMNT squad. With Christian Pulisic, Tanner Tessmann, and Tim Weah also dealing with late-season knocks, how worried should U.S. fans be about the mounting injury list? The crew also breaks down what Mauricio Pochettino and his staff learned while scouting over the weekend, whether Jack McGlynn's brace vs. LAFC earned him a closer look, and if Poch is making a mistake by limiting his pre-World Cup camp to just 26 players. Plus, with Cardoso likely out of contention for the World Cup, the guys revisit their projected roster. If Pochettino switches back to a back four, how many defenders does he need to bring?

Clint Dempsey headlines a good-to-great episode, but first Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Benny Feilhaber get to the mystery of Tony Meola's whereabouts and react to Türkiye star Arda Güler being shut down for the rest of the club season. The crew also breaks down a busy midweek for Americans abroad. Benny wonders how Mauricio Pochettino might shape the USMNT midfield, and if there is a logical case for benching Christian Pulisic at the World Cup... Then, it's time to hear from USMNT legend Clint Dempsey who opens up about his new docuseries “You Don't Know Where I'm From Dawg,” and doesn't hold back on the current state of youth soccer, Poch's substitutions, and his thoughts about the team's chances at the World Cup. Plus, the guys try to make sense of a wild night in MLS where defending was optional, and look ahead to the weekend's slate of games.

Call It What You Want, presented by Zillow, turns its attention to the imminent announcement of the March roster. Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola, and Benny Feilhaber put their heads together and try to predict the USMNT's 26-man squad to face Belgium and Portugal (3:58). Is Noahkai Banks a lost cause (08:06)? And what did Mauricio Pochettino learn after traveling to watch Johnny Cardoso dunk on his former team Tottenham (19:56)? Benny reflects on accepting the role of impact sub in Bob Bradley's team, and how those experiences apply to today's USMNT roster (28:25). And with four strikers in red-hot form, is it a given all of them will make the cut (33:21)? The guys react to Alphonso Davies, Luis Malagón, and Marcel Ruiz suffering untimely injuries, and the impact that might have on fellow World Cup co-hosts Canada and Mexico (4247). And in Concacaf Champions Cup news, San Diego recorded a statement win over Liga MX champions Toluca (52:32)!

For the Glory KC is back with the 152nd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City's 2025 MLS season is over and we're in that news lull where it's unclear if anything major is going to happen anytime soon. That said, we have a ton of tiny Sporting KC stories that could easily fall through the cracks if you aren't on social media.Before we get to that, if you haven't yet, please take our survey on the Sporting KC 2025 MLS season! Thanks!On today's episode, Sheena and I discuss the rumored opening day of the 2026 MLS season, rumors around Santiago Munoz staying in Kansas City, new salary information, Ryan Schewe re-signing, an analysis of SKC, Benny Feilhaber news, another coach moving on and Zorhan Bassong getting another call-up.The real main even though is the KC Current who bounced back from their first loss in 17 games to earn a come from behind victory, without Temwa Chawinga, over the San Diego Wave. They also basically did it without Bia, who went down injured as well. We have updates on both of those injuries and a preview of the opening playoff series with Gotham FC.Beyond that, we look back at the Kansas City Current's remarkable season, talk about Temwa lifting another Golden Boot trophy, share out thoughts on Lo LaBonta re-signing with the team and her time with the USWNT and much more.It's an episode of many, many tiny stories about SKC and the Current. We also briefly talk about a lovely bio of KC Current owners Chris and Angie Long that you should go read in the Kansas City Star.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:Kansas City hosting a free fan fest for the World CupUSMNT, US U-17s (men and women) resultsSKC's rival, St. Louis City, hires a Sporting Director KC passed overHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC news and tidbits - 10:33KC Current Get Right! - 34:43KC Current Playoff Preview - 50:15Digital Crawl - 1:15:16Upcoming GamesMO State Women's Bears vs. Liberty (CUSA Championship), Fri.

We talk about what differences we’re seeing in the Roots under Benny Feilhaber, and whether we expect anything from the cup tie with Monterey Bay.
For the Glory KC is back with the 137th episode of the show!The KC Current lead off the show today with Sporting KC taking the weekend off. They played their last NWSL game until August 1st when they welcomed Angel City FC to town this past Friday night. While it was a closely contested match-up, the depleted Kansas City squad was able to put together their sixth consecutive win and stretch their lead in the standings to eight points as of this writing.Angel City, despite being far down the table, were competitive and kept the match close. If not for penalty kick saving heroics by Lorena and possibly a Sarah Gordon cramp, the game may have had a different outcome. We got into all kinds of topics from the game.In addition to game action, we got an update on what the Current will be doing on their upcoming break (outside of the Teal Rising Cup) and covered all their international call-ups for the upcoming international break, including Izzy Rodriguez's first call by the full USWNT.Sporting Kansas City didn't play this weekend, so we just ask one question about them. What is your hope for the rest of their season? Sheena and I gave somewhat different answers and got into a debate about the quality of the roster. In particular around Daniel Salloi and Shapi Suleymanov. We both agreed they need to make moves and the secondary transfer window opens July 24th.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:Benny Feilhaber wins!USMNT advance in the Gold CupWorld Cup QualifyingHere is a rundown of topics and start times:KC Current keep winning - 9:40One existential Sporting KC question - 51:17Digital Crawl - 1:04:33Upcoming GamesSporting KC vs. Charlotte FC, Wednesday, June 25th at 7:30PM CDTUSWNT vs. Ireland, Thursday, June 26th at 8:00PMSKC II at Austin FC II, Friday, June 27th at 7:30PMSporting KC vs. Real Salt Lake, Saturday, June 28th at 7:30PMUSWNT vs. Ireland, Sunday, June 29th at 2:00PMUSMNT Gold Cup Quarterfinals next Saturday or SundayAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

For the Glory KC is back with the 136th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City have lost back-to-back games for the first time in the Kerry Zavagnin era. While results haven't been perfect, it's a testament to how much better this team is. Against FC Dallas, it felt like an opportunity to avoid this very result as Dallas entered the game on a six-game winless streak. And it really felt like Sporting KC were the better side on the night.At least until things went off the rails. Referee Sergii Demianchuk had an outsized impact on the game. Sheena and I get into the dicey officiating on the night and if we thought the right calls were made. A lot was made of the Khiry Shelton red card, but that may have actually been one of the more accurate calls. The first yellow, who knows based on the broadcast. But the second, Khiry cannot make that challenge. There was a lot of poor calls though, and a lot of bad replay work.Sheena also made it out to Children's Mercy Park for the first time in 2025 and she brought some newbies. Sheena gives her breakdown on the atmosphere and the view from the South Stand.We also round-up a bunch of SKC stories, including Zorhan Bassong going back on national team duty, updates on Gianluca Busio, Benny Feilhaber, Johnny Russell and more.The KC Current won their fifth straight and their 10th of the season on the back of three goals in the first 19 minutes that would prove too much for Racing Louisville to overcome. We also update what we know on Lo LaBonta's injury and the final results of HB Koge's season in the Danish league.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:A new soccer facility in KCThe NWSL Final gets a locationUSMNT resultsHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC lose a controversial game against FC Dallas - 4:51SKC Round-up - 42:00KC Current win and a Lo update - 53:13Digital Crawl - 1:04:44Upcoming GamesUSMNT vs. Saudi Arabia, Thursday, June 19th at 8:15PM CDTKC Current vs. Angel City FC, Friday, June 20th at 7:00PMUSMNT vs. Haiti, Sunday, June 22nd at 6:00PMSKC have the weekend off but play twice the next weekAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

For the Glory KC is back with the 135th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City came back down to earth this week with a tough loss against Los Angeles Football Club on the road. Things looked bright early when Dejan Joveljic scored his 10th goal of the season off a Manu Garcia assist. But the lead didn't even last until halftime.Calamitous set piece defending led to a 1-1 halftime score and the capper on a bad game for Memo Rodriguez led to the game winning penalty kick for Denis Bouanga.Speaking of Bouanga, despite him having a goal and an assist, Jansen Miller seemed to be in his head. Maybe Bouanga gets the last laugh, but all the victimizing Denis did came at the expense of others, not Miller. Jansen more than held his own against one of the elite players in Major League Soccer. It's wild to say Miller (and frankly Pulskamp again) had good games when three goals went in. But they really did. And the joy Miller clearly gets from hounding attackers was all over his face.Sheena and I also discussed lots of other topics including: the return of Jake Davis from injury, the return of Stephen Afrifa from the bench, Khiry Shelton's ever-changing hair color, a bloody Shapi Suleymanov, who the heck was the captain after Daniel Salloi subbed off and many other topics from the SKC/LAFC game.Before we got to the winning KC team, we also had to talk about the big news that Benny Feilhaber has landed a job with the Oakland Roots of the USL Championship. It's a short-term deal. Is it so he can make sure he's available for the Sporting KC job?The KC Current went out and crushed it again, this time winning on the road against the newly crowned CONCACAF W Champions, NJ/NY Gotham. Michelle Cooper and Temwa Chawinga scored early, but it was the VAR that may have come to their rescue late. The officials seemed to get most things right when overturning Gotham goals, but that Esther goal is a little dicey to change.We also discussed a really good interview Forbes did with Chris and Angie Long along with the new 2,000 seat stadium the KC Current are building at their Riverside complex.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:More SKC II woesUSWNT/USMNT resultsThe Chicago Fire privately funding a new stadiumHere is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times):Sporting KC come back to Earth in LA - 7:28Benny gets a job and more in the SKC roundup - 41:25KC Current get a big road win (again) - 49:25Another KC women's soccer stadium and more in the Current roundup - 55:39Digital Crawl - 1:09:46Upcoming GamesUSMNT vs. Switzerland - Tuesday, June 10th at 7:00PM CDTKC Current vs Racing Louisville, Saturday, June 14th at 6:30PMSporting KC vs. FC Dallas, Saturday, June 14th at 7:30PMSKC II have 3 weeks offAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Tony Meola and Benny Feilhaber take the reins of the show - and there's plenty to talk about. The USMNT drops its 60-man preliminary Gold Cup roster, and once again there's no Gio Reyna (04:23). Meanwhile, it was a silverware-stacked weekend for Americans abroad: Chris Richards and Matt Turner made FA Cup history at Wembley, four Yanks helped PSV lift the Eredivisie title, and Damion Downs sealed promotion and a 2. Bundesliga championship (27:06). On the flip side, AC Milan miss out on Europe - could that actually benefit Christian Pulisic (34:50)? Plus, a U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 preview (48:17) - can the Pittsburgh Riverhounds play giant-killer again? - and a head-scratcher from LA Galaxy - why announce Greg Vanney's contract extension now (55:20)?

The CIWYW crew have more questions than answers after witnessing the United States men's national soccer team fall 2-1 to Canada in the Concacaf Nations League third-place game. Live from SoFi Stadium, Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola share their concerns about the team's fragility and lack of bite following an horrendous four days in Los Angeles.

For the Glory KC is back with the 122nd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City played their first game on full rest for the 2025 MLS season, and it seemingly didn't matter. D.C. United pulled off a 2-1 come from behind victory at home. Maybe it's rest plus chemistry that Sporting KC need. Plus, Jake Davis in the midfield. Plus... something else?Sheena and I open the episode looking for positives from Saturday's game before inevitably turning to the negatives. One list did outweigh the other, sadly.In a more fun story, we spend some time talking about what's happening at our neighbors to the north. The Des Moines Menace are signing all kinds of retired MLS players to bring some positive attention to the 2025 US Open Cup. Among those signings is Sporting KC legend and former SKC II coach, Benny Feilhaber. He'll be joined by at least eight other retired MLS players as they take on Sporting KC II in the opening round of the US Open Cup on March 19th.After that, we blitz through the Sporting KC round-up which includes an injury update for Andrew Brody, last week's SKC penalty maybe being the wrong call and why Erik Thommy is only the captain "right now," according to Peter Vermes.Finally, the KC Current get to bring us some joy with their season getting started next week. We take a quick look ahead to the season opener against the Portland Thorns.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:MLS Next Pro looking for more teams out of their primary markets ("2" teams included)Chris Rindov finds a new clubSophia Smith Wilson is pregnantand upcoming goalkeeper rule changesHere is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times):Sporting KC lose their 10th straight - 1:35Benny Feilhaber is back (sort of) - 28:56SKC Round-Up - 41:10KC Current season is starting - 48:29Digital Crawl - 56:17Upcoming GamesSKC II vs. STL City II - Fri.

Inside LAFC Podcast returns with Max Bretos and new co-host, club original Benny Feilhaber LIVE on LAFC YouTube. The guys break down the 2025 squad, introduce the new players, and provide a tactical breakdown on how the team might play. The new duo also previews the Tuesday CONCACAF Champions opener in Colorado and goes down memory lane to the first LAFC season opener with Benny.
This week on Inside LAFC, Max Bretos and Benny Feilhaber breakdown LAFC's opening-week win over Minnesota, including how the Black & Gold's halftime adjustments changed the game. The fellas then look ahead to the team's make-or-break Champions Cup game vs. Colorado at BMO Stadium on Feb. 25 (7 PM; FS2 & ViX).
This week Benny Feilhaber and Max Bretos recap the Black & Gold's third straight win. Could this become the best defensive team we have seen at LAFC? How will that feed the offensive output? We preview the Concacaf clash of champions with Columbus Crew.
For the Glory KC is back with the 121st episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had another poor week with two more games played and two more losses. Sheena and I try to work through if the team is truly bad or if it's a combination of a lot of other factors. Sporting KC did play four games in 11 days, and two of the games were against Inter Miami who are loaded with stars. The team also just signed three of its more critical offseason additions in Dejan Joveljic, Manu Garcia and Shapi Suleymanov. Their chemistry will take time.The good news with 32 games to go there is very little congestion the rest of the way for Sporting KC. That excuse will mostly vanish and SKC just to start talking steps in the right direction. We worked our way through the bad and the good from both games, with a greater focus on the 2-1 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes. The discussion really started around the lack of rotation, despite the short rest between the 3-1 loss to Inter Miami and the SJ game. The tired legs really seemed to be a problem, despite being up a man for over 40 minutes.The CONCACAF Champions Cup game with Miami didn't get much time this episode since no one really expected KC to advance when the game was announced. That said, we had to talk about the defensive blunders that ended the first half.There was plenty of other SKC news this week too. William Agada was rumored to be part of a trade with Real Salt Lake. Benny Feilhaber popped up in a UMKC/SKC II game as a guest player and gave us a hint about his future. Andreu Fontas retired officially. Sebastian Cruz found a new home. SKC executed a minor trade, and some other roster news came out.Sheena and I also watched the Sporting KC/St. Louis City episode of Onside, the new Apple TV+ show. It's good, we definitely recommend it.Finally, the KC Current had a slightly louder week with the release of the Teal Town secondary kit. They also made a minor trade, played a couple preseason games and made some news with the USWNT.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including: SKC II updates Jaylin Lindsay finds a new home Seattle Sounders running a "first match on us" free game promo The ref who took Messi's jersey got suspendedHere is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): SKC lose their home opener to San Jose - 6:01 SKC bounced from CCC by Miami - 46:24 RSL called about William Agada - 53:24 SKC Round-up, Including a Benny Feilhaber update - 58:37 KC Current news - 1:13:11 Digital Crawl - 1:17:57Upcoming Games Sporting KC @ D.C.

For the Glory KC is back with the 120th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City played their first two competitive games of 2025. While we warned you not to overreact to the initial results, it hasn't stopped a slice of the fanbase from getting quite worked up. We work our way through both the freezing cold of the Inter Miami game and the slightly less cold, but rainy Austin FC game to talk takeaways.Daniel Salloi caught a fair amount of grief for his performance in both games. But there was a lot of other notable things that happened. There were Sporting KC debuts for Dejan Joveljic, Manu Garcia, Shapi Suleymanov and Jacob Bartlett. 19-year-old Bartlett started both games! We give our opinions on their performances and those of their peers.Plus, a look at the injury report, a few tactical wrinkles, and a breakdown of the Austin goal before getting to some breaking news from the week. Sporting KC cut Alenis Vargas and signed Andrew Brody. Erik Thommy was named captain and Roger Espinoza got hired to SKC's coaching staff. And a little roster composition news came out as well.Finally, the KC Current had another relatively quiet week, but they extended the contract of new signing Haley Hopkins who just arrived via trade. They also had a few national team call-ups and some new NWSL rules came out, including a bump in the salary cap from $2.75 million to $3.5m.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including: A ref asking for Messi's jersey USWNT results Benny Feilhaber's new job KC Comets just keep winning and a Tony Meola updateHere is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sporting KC freeze against Inter Miami - 8:11 SKC vs. Austin FC in the Season Opener - 26:48 Captain Erik Thommy - 48:32 Alenis Vargas released - 52:01 Andrew Brody signed - 57:18 Sporting KC story round-up - 1:00:27 Sheena does Manu Garcia bio - 1:07:30 KC Current news - 1:14:46 Digitial Crawl - 1:18:28Upcoming Games Sporting KC @ Inter Miami - Tuesday, Feb. 25th - 7:00 PM CST Sporting KC vs. San Jose Earthquakes - Sat., Mar. 1st - 7:30 PM SheBelieves Cup USWNT vs. Japan - Wed.

For the Glory KC is back with the 108th episode of the show. Finally, Sheena has returned to the podcast! After two weeks off, the casual perspective returns. Sheena weighs in on Sporting Kansas City's offseason roster moves, since she missed a chance to do it last week. [If you missed that episode, Juan, Josh and I all gave our thoughts in greater depth]. We also answer listener questions about where we might see the likes of Johnny Russell, Tim Melia, Remi Walter and others. Will it be inside MLS? Elsewhere? Retirement? Plus, Sheena commiserates on Benny Feilhaber leaving Sporting KC II and where he might land. Since the KC Current season came to an end, it's time to play Fantasy Sporting Director/General Manager for them as well. While there are some sentimental favorites out of contract, nearly the entire starting lineup is signed for 2025 already. We also catch up on the NWSL, including our experience at the NWSL Championship game, the various award winners around the league and the three finalists (Denver, Cleveland and Cincinnati) for NWSL Expansion. And Sheena gets reminded the MLS season is still going and we're down to just four teams vying for the title. In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few topics, including: A flimsy Sporting KC rumor MLS Next Pro teams potential moving out of market Jaylin Lindsay is out in Charlotte USMNT and US U-20 results Local college soccer in the College Cup (Missouri State, UMKC and SLU) And drama in the USL Here is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sheena weighs in on SKC's Roster Moves - 3:19 Fantasy Sporting Director for KC Current - 36:42 NWSL Update & Expansion - 47:56 MLS Update - 1:06:26 Digital Crawl - 1:13:21 We recently turned on "Listener Support."

Last year's El Tráfico at the Rose Bowl was the United States' most attended sports game of 2023, and the derby is one of the most exciting and bitterly contested rivalries in MLS. But it's also one of the league's newest. So how did El Tráfico reach these heights? To tell the full story, we have to go back to a graffiti duel between fans waged on the streets of Los Angeles, before the LA Galaxy and LAFC ever played a game. We hear from Geoff Gouveia, whose mural for LAFC was defaced by Galaxy fans in 2017, and Ms. Yellow, a muralist who's worked with the Galaxy. But no story about El Tráfico would be complete without an account of that blockbuster first meeting, featuring superstars Carlos Vela and Zlatan Ibrahimović. Because on March 31, 2018, all that buildup between the fans paid off. Two players on the pitch that day, the Galaxy's Daniel Steres (now with Houston) and LAFC's Benny Feilhaber (now head coach of Sporting Kansas City II), break down one of the most exciting games in MLS history.Offside With Taylor Twellman is a Major League Soccer podcast, produced by Apple TV and Rain Delay Media.
