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.

Hello Rank Squad! It's nearly time for kick-off in MLS' 30th season, so we thought it was the right time to sit down and take a look at how things are shaping up ahead of a landmark campaign. We start with Dean's new hometown club of San Diego FC, examining how the 30th franchise in the league are looking ahead of their maiden voyage in the Western Conference; before moving things on to the contenders to challenge for the Supporters' Shield, and, later on, MLS Cup. We examine reigning champions LA Galaxy, their crosstown rivals Los Angeles FC and the Seattle Sounders in the West, with a word to the San Jose Earthquakes; before heading over East to take a peek at Supporters' Shield holders Inter Miami, big-spending Atlanta United, a new era at FC Cincinnati, and the Dean Smith evolutions at Charlotte FC. Finally, we move onto the individual players and new signings who could make all the difference, from 2024 MVP Lionel Messi, through the fresh strikers of Emmanuel Latte Lath and Kevin Denkey, Wilfried Zaha at Charlotte, the returning Miguel Almiron, a big intra-league transfer in Evander, and many more. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

LAFC kicked off their MLS Cup Playoff journey with a thrilling 2-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in Game 1 of the Round One Best-of-3 Series at BMO Stadium! With goals from Denis Bouanga and Cristian Olivera, LAFC took control of the series and is now just one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals. Highlights include Bouanga's powerful penalty, Olivera's clinical finish, and a resilient LAFC defense. With Carlos Vela making his 2024 season debut and Kei Kamara marking history, it was an unforgettable night at BMO Stadium. Can LAFC finish the job in Vancouver? Tune in as we break down the key moments and look ahead to Game 2 on November 3rd!

D.C. United's Christian Benteke grew up playing soccer in the streets of Belgium—where a nutmeg is worth more than a goal. As he got older, he refined a blend of skill and physicality that helped him net 23 regular-season goals this year, beating out Bouanga, Messi, and Suárez to capture the 2024 MLS Golden Boot. Although D.C. barely missed out on a playoff spot, they were in contention thanks to Benteke—who contributed to almost 60% of the club's goals this season. On today's episode, Taylor sits down with Benteke to talk about his soccer origins, the evolution of his game, and why learning new languages is so important on and off the pitch. Plus, Taylor breaks down the most dramatic Decision Day since 2014. Offside With Taylor Twellman is a Major League Soccer podcast, produced by Apple TV and Rain Delay Media.

Looking to continue the end of season success, LAFC heads to "Blue Hell" to take on Sporting KC. The Black and Gold would score early, threaten often, and keep another sheet clean, still in the hunt for the Western Conference crown. It's all here on Episode 332!Denis Bouanga earned his 11th shot a goal from the penalty spot early in the match. This one, however, would be his first saved attempt, as Tim Melia stayed put enough to both save Denis' penalty and watch the rebound whiz past him into the back of the goal, courtesy of David Martinez! In stoppage, Kike Olivera got on the end of a beautiful pass from Bouanga to double the lead heading into the half. After halftime, LAFC kept the pedal down, and the effort would pay off in the form of a beautiful, top bins goal by... Aaron Long? Yes! Aaron Long, in his 73rd appearance for LAFC, would finally get on the score sheet! The lesson learned? Don't leave Aaron long open! Hugo would do everything needed to keep the clean sheet, saving 4 shots but facing little danger, en route to his LAFC-record 11th shutout of the season. Also on this episode, Filly gets a quarterback while the Tyler Miller count rises by a few. Enjoy 332, and a much needed break until we head to Vancouver!

Guys... I think we're back. Travis and Vince break down a breezy victory with very little to complain about. LAFC clinches top 4 in the West, Bouanga finally misses a PK, and Aaron Long scores a Bouanga Blast.

In the words of Daniel, "3 points. Nothing else matters. On to the next." But BOY WAS I ANGRY AT THAT REF. Giroud's beautiful first MLS goal was called off, Bouanga had a classic BB, Olivera did something with his head we don't have to ever talk about again. and This postgame had everything: Vince in front of a hot dog, Darren reiterating how much Open Cup means to us, Travis finally explaining the podcast polycule, and fan favorite Miss Bones in the flesh.

So much for tuning up and getting in form for the 2024 U.S. Open Cup Final. LAFC drops their road match to Dallas, 3-1, behind another lackluster performance amid roster rotation. LAFC may not have won a match in their last 5, but a chance to win a trophy comes to BMO on Wednesday, in the form of SKC. Let's chat about it on Episode 328.An awful turnover right to the feet of Dallas' best goal scorer, Petar Musa, sees the home side take a 1-0 lead into the half. LAFC looked to stem the tide at the hour mark, subbing on Bouanga and Giroud, but in the next few minutes that followed, all hell broke loose for the Black and Gold. Two goals in two minutes from Dallas saw the lead balloon to 3, and if not for an Atuesta goal late, LAFC would be shut out by Texas for a third straight match.LAFC turns its focus to the Open Cup Final on Wednesday, and everyone looked to come out of this one injury-free. It should be an interesting atmosphere at BMO for the mid-week matchup. Also on this episode, Filly is in a fighting mood as Scarf recalls the club's history with Hello Kitty. Enjoy 328!

Denis does his thing, burying the PK, and LAFC was off to a flying start. Another patented laser show from Mateusz Bogusz, one-timing a volley from outside the box, gave LAFC a two-goal lead before halftime. The Sounders came out roaring in the second half, dominating possession, looking dangerous, and seemingly building towards a goal. Nobody told that to Kei Kamara and Denis Bounaga, however, as a Kei long ball found Denis through the middle, on the break, for his second of the night. Completely against the run of play, LAFC was now up three. Denis could have made it four heading into stoppage, but his first touch betrayed him, and he remains one behind Chicho for the Golden Boot lead. In stoppage, massive saves from Hugo (twice!) and Sergi Palencia keep the sheet clean and bring all three points home from Seattle!Also on this episode, Filly does a shooey while Scarf proposes changes to the All Star Game.

Hosts Max Bretos and Steve Beitashour discuss a busy Summer of Soccer as LAFC players are involved in the Euros and Copa America in addition to a heavy club schedule. The Black & Gold offense is on fire: Kei is writing his name into the MLS history books, Mati is leveling up, and Denis is the most feared attacker in the league.

En este podcast, hablamos del empate a 2 goles vs RBNY. Tendremos los 2 goles de Bouanga. Steve Cherundolo nos habla de sus impresiones del juego. Ademas Timothy Tillman agrega que Mathuz se viò bien en la media cancha apesar de no jugar de 8 ultimamente.

Despite LAFC's less than stellar performance throughout most of the game, they manage to steal a point from the team at the top of the table. We asked for lineup changes! We fucked around and found out, and in some cases what we found out was pretty good (Chanot), in some cases it didn't go so well (Bogusz, Segura), and in some cases, Aaron long slid his leg right into a goal post to save a goal and ruin his season only to have his replacement score an own goal before Long is even able to leave the pitch. Meanwhile, is Bouanga.... BACK!??? It's possible Bouanga is back. Bouanga might be back. But in the end, maybe all that really matters is that we tread water long enough to make it to the summer transfer window. As boring as that is. Leave it to Geoff Tock, Heel Of The Foot, to come up with a take this boring.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.BRAND NEW merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

PRO Giveth and PRO Taketh Away. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down a frustrating tie on the road that was needed, but still felt like a loss. We talk Palencia trying to fight Max, Bouanga's desperate need for anti-depressants, and even Crépeau getting a red to save us again. There are glimmers of hope with this squad, but is it time to change up our line up? We don't know, we are two dumb guys and one smart guy who is forced to listen to dumb guys.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfootFacebook: @happyfootsadfootpod Hosted on Acast.
