For the Glory KC is back with the 186th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had a massive week, and they haven't even started playing soccer (officially) yet. The headlines are all around Egyptian and former Liverpool star, Mo Salah, potentially coming to Sporting KC. Sheena and I give our thoughts.But that wasn't the only rumor of the week. Another "$18-20 million" signing was rumored for Brazilian winger Andre Luiz. That's the second player with a fee around $20m tied to Kansas City and the third very expensive move that has been rumored.We talk about the possibility of one of those moves happening, how much Sporting KC have already spent and how long they have to get things done this summer. The team also played a scrimmage against Atlanta United that was live streamed and a few other updates, like the visa status of Emir Karic and Moises Mosquera.In KC Current news, it was one step forward and two steps back. They team faltered badly on the road again. This time against the Orlando Pride. They were short-handed with Michelle Cooper likely being out a few weeks and Temwa Chawinga suffering from an illness that limited her effectiveness. But hey, at least Vanessa DiBernardo is back!Also, if you missed it, Michelle Cooper was fined by the NWSL for wearing New Balance cleats. It's a must-read story from the Athletic (gift link). And the World Cup is over in Kansas City and a week away from crowning a world champion. Four games to go, but let's discuss how we got there. Mostly it was a focus on Argentina and Switzerland (and that Breel Embolo red card), as well as Norway versus England. Sheena also promised you an article about how Norway develops their youth athletes to set them up to be professionals.And here is Sheena embarrassing herself with her USMNT roster knowledge. Sargento? Ricardo Peepee?? Baltano? Chris Williams? Chris Robinson? (How do you think Sheena would do with Sporting KC players?)In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:The KS Astras are moving to MissouriSKC II get dominatedHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 9:55KC Current - 56:24Kansas City and the World Cup - 1:08:32Digital Crawl - 1:40:43Upcoming GamesFrance vs. Spain, TUES, July 14th at 2:00PM CSTEngland vs. Argentina, WED, July 15th at 2:00PMSporting KC @ St. Louis City, THUR, July 16th at 7:30PMKC Current vs. San Diego Wave, FRI, July 17th at 7:00PM (back home finally!)WC 3rd place, SAT, July 18th at 4:00PMWorld Cup Final, SUN, July 19th at 2:00PMSKC II vs. MNUFC2, SUN, July 19th at 7:00PM (back home!)As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Bill Eigel comes on to set the record straight, and he doesn't hold back. Marc gives the St. Charles County executive candidate a chance to respond directly to the lying rhino-hat mailer, and together they trace the money straight back to a St. Louis city Democrat PAC tied to consultant Michael Kelly's Show Me Victories firm — the same operation behind Crystal Quade's failed 2024 governor run. Eigel argues the attack proves he's winning, pointing to his conservative record fighting Jeff City rhinos and his intent to cut taxes and property burdens in St. Charles County. The conversation turns to a bigger fear driving city Democrats: Eigel's firm opposition to a city-county merger, even as Mayor Cara Spencer reportedly courts regional leaders toward one. Bill Eigel closes confident, pointing back to his decisive 2022 primary win despite millions spent on similar hit pieces. The Marc Cox Morning Show gives conservatives the real story behind the smear campaign.

For the Glory KC is back with the 185th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City have less going on, so we quickly cover their streamed scrimmage and signing for the future, but mostly focus on how the World Cup may impact the future of Sporting KC.In KC Current news, they bounced back from their bad Challenge Cup loss to win the first ever meeting against the Denver Summit. We also get into our thoughts on the potential stadium expansion to 18,000 seats.But For the Glory KC is a "World Cup podcast" now according to Sheena. So, we spend a lot of time on the disappointing results of the USMNT vs Belgium game from Monday night (including a watch party review of Current Landing).We ask a lot of questions of this team and it's future. Can the United States ever win anything at the World Cup? Is this a success? Did the President's involvement in the Balogun red card situation taint the games? Does it ruin all the goodwill of the 2026 FIFA World Cup?Plus, we talk about our favorite games of the tournament, many of which happened in the last few days. Cape Verde magic coming up short. England going into the Azteca and pulling off a victory over Mexico. So much soccer and so little time. What will we do with our lives when the World Cup is over in just 12 days? There are no games today, so listen to our nearly two hour podcast instead!Here is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro & a New Puppy - 0:00Sporting KC - 7:06KC Current - 27:46USMNT, Kansas City and the World Cup - 41:08Upcoming GamesSporting KC vs. Atlanta United (scrimmage), THUR, July 9th at 8:30AM CSTKC Current @ Orlando Pride, FRI, July 10th at 7:00PMArgentina vs. Switzerland, SAT, July 11th at 8:00PMSporting KC vs. St. Louis City, THUR, July 16th at 7:30PMKC Current vs. San Diego Wave, FRI, July 17th at 7:00PMFull World Cup ScheduleAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

The NL Central has officially become baseball's most exhausting division. All five teams are at or above .500. Nobody can pull away. Nobody can collapse. And somehow every fanbase is simultaneously convinced their team is both a contender and deeply flawed. This week on the Team of Rivals Podcast: • The Cubs stumble through a miserable road trip • PCA has words with Sox fans, and Pete is having none of it • The Cardinals continue hanging around the race • The Brewers refuse to go away • Pirates and Reds fans remain uncomfortably nearby • And "tarps off" has apparently become a thing at Busch Stadium Meanwhile, Ron was emotionally unavailable for long portions of the show because St. Louis CITY was still playing as we went live.
This week, Landon and Jeremiah are joined by Adrian Healey to discuss the firing of Nico Estevez and Rodolfo Borrell. Other questions and topics include:- Nico and Rodo are out!- Grading Rodo's performance- Who will replace him?- Why these games led us here- Potential coach options- How attractive is the Austin job?- Will Austin get a third kit this year?- St Louis Preview- Adrian and Coach Cowell's new podcast- Free Parking at Amplify- much moreMoontower Soccer is brought to you by FVF LawSupport the show
Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins the discussion with a blunt, no-nonsense breakdown of rising distrust in government, arguing that public skepticism is justified as decisions around development, taxation, and regulation increasingly feel disconnected from local control. He weighs in on the explosive data center debates in Franklin County and St. Louis, predicting that despite packed public hearings and opposition, major projects are likely to move forward due to government and economic pressure. Lamping also reacts to the continued population decline in St. Louis City, calling it a symptom of long-term policy failure rather than short-term fluctuation, pointing to crime, taxation, and governance as driving forces behind the exodus. He closes with sharp criticism of ongoing economic development strategies downtown, arguing that incentives and tax credits won't fix deeper structural problems like safety and livability.

Hour 2 opens with a heated, humorous debate over camping culture, splitting opinions between tent purists and RV “glampers,” sparked by listener backlash and rapid-fire banter that escalates into stories about extreme outdoor survival shows and the absurd limits of discomfort people will endure. The show then shifts into the St. Louis Morning Brief, where packed public hearings on proposed data centers in Franklin County stretch for hours as residents clash with officials over zoning, infrastructure strain, tax revenue, and long-term environmental and economic impact, alongside broader concerns about rising sewer costs, AI-driven job disruption, and continued population decline in St. Louis City. Additional local headlines include questions over USPS mail theft and check fraud tied to regional processing centers and a sudden charter school shutdown leaving families scrambling. The hour wraps with “In Other News,” covering viral chaos including a TikTok foul ball incident, a bridesmaid wedding dress disaster overseas, growing complaints about empty autonomous Waymo vehicles circling neighborhoods in Atlanta, and renewed concern over Britney Spears' erratic public behavior, tying together a fast-moving mix of culture, tech, and controversy.

Travis and Vince react to LAFC's third straight loss in seven days, a 2–1 defeat to 28th-place St. Louis City that capped a brutal stretch of 10 goals conceded in three games after an early-season run as an elite defensive team. It gets worse before the World Cup break and transfer windows provide light at the end of the sewer, with Nashville and Seattle coming up next.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got more big news and a triple game week. Oh the Rob Holding DOGSO. The guy banter about Leander Schaerlaeckens' new book "The Long Game" about the USMNT. Also we've got takes on VARsenal probably winning the Premier League. We break down the 0-1 loss to St. Louis CITY, wind, the controversial red card, and more. Are we worried? Is it now panic time? And what does this say about next week? We then look ahead to the two games this week. There will be squad rotation against James Rodriguez and Minnesota United. Real Salt Lake is doing some new things tactically under Pablo Mastroeni. They've got wingers who are vibes, not just Diego Luna. Oh, and the MLSPA dropped the player salaries. We do a deep dive on what you need to know about the Burgundy Boys getting paid. Here's Red's article about the player salaries. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Ron, Elliott, and Pete are back to discuss the deeply upsetting reality that both the Cubs and Cardinals are actually… good? The Cubs keep winning despite a pitching staff held together with duct tape and Craig Counsell wizardry, while the Cardinals continue shambling forward like the baseball equivalent of a zombie apocalypse. The guys break down: The suddenly dangerous NL Central Whether the Cubs are legitimate contenders Ron cautiously buying stock in the Cardinals rebuild The official postmortem for Dylan Carlson Carson Kelly's surprise emergence Why teams desperately need a "Vice President of Common Sense" Ron's son Sam becoming the Ben Zobrist of his high school team Terrible soccer kits, Newcastle, St. Louis CITY, and another cursed Ron's Soccer Minute
In this segment, Mark is joined by David Amelotti, an Investigative Reporter and Anchor at First Alert 4. He discusses his latest story on rising St Louis City water bills.
Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we again have too much to discuss. We banter about the Darren Yapi U22 contract extension. And we do some International Roster slit arbitrage math with Rob Holding getting his green card. HTHL recaps the I-25 Derby game that had everything. Colorado Springs Switchbacks and Yosuke Hanya were good. There was that Kosi Thompson red card and the Josh Atencio handball. The penalty shootout. But also rest in peace Ryan Sabin. We then talk about the Houston Dynamo game. There's not much to judge given the injuries. But is this fixture congestion or a bigger concern about Matt Wells Ball? The guys then look ahead to St. Louis CITY. It's a get right game for the injured Pids. Oh, and Kei Kamara retired. Check out Rabbi's latest edition of Backpass. It is an EXCELLENT piece on Matt Wells' tactics. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Susan Pendergrass speaks with Aaron Renn, author and consultant, and David Stokes, Director of Municipal Policy at the Show-Me Institute, about the recurring debate over whether the city of St. Louis should rejoin St. Louis County. They explore what city county mergers have actually accomplished in places like Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, and Lexington, why a full merger in St. Louis would be extraordinarily difficult to pull off, and whether the benefits would even outweigh the costs. They also discuss St. Louis's demographic challenges, what the Pittsburgh model might offer as a path forward, the cultural barriers that make it hard to attract and retain people from outside the region, and more.

Hey, soccer fans! Do you belive in deja vu? The Chicago Fire's latest match - a loss to FC Cincinnati - sure felt like their prior outing against FCC just much worse. The Men in Red blew two one-goal leads, missed a PK in stoppage time, and conceded the game-winning PK just minutes later. Tune in as Nick vents his frustration with the lack of player execution and coaching failures. He focuses on a concerning trend of player rotation and substitutions from Gregg Berhalter and his staff. They appeared to be rotating players around their US Open Cup match vs. St. Louis City and their match against a bad Sporting Kansas City team, but then make no proactive subs to preserve the wins against Cincinnati in both matches.

For the Glory KC is back with the 172nd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City returned home and right back down to earth after picking up a win last week in Los Angeles. The Colorado Rapids, who lost to Sporting KC in both meetings last year, crushed KC in a 4-1 outcome at Sporting Park. The internet was aflame with John Pulskamp slander, so we get into how much was him and how much was others (after all, there is plenty of blame to go around).We also talked about the lineup changes (and if they were the right ones), the rash of injuries on the team and of course -- the brutal night of officiating from Fotis Bazakos.After the game, Jake Davis pulled me aside in the locker room with a message for the fans, so Sheena and I talk through our thoughts on his words.Outside of the game, Sporting KC had other things going on in the week, including the addition of Brazilian center back Diego Borges as their newest (and David Lee's first) U22 Initiative signing. Plus, there was a spattering of other news around the team, including their games being aired for free over the air on tape delay.To make matters worse, the KC Current also lost this weekend. That's something that only happened three times during the entire 2025 NWSL regular season and it's already happened just two games into the 2026 season. To make matters worse, it was against the Mallory Swanson-less Chicago Stars, who had just gotten shellacked 4-0 the week prior. I break down what I saw from that game.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:KC Comets making the playoffs!SKC II win a shootout but then lose the next gameMLS 2026 playoffs and 2027 schedule formats revealedAnd Antoine Griezman and Catarina Macaro are coming to MLS and NWSL respectivelyHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Sporting KC - 10:06KC Current - 1:01:46Digital Crawl - 1:15:09Upcoming GamesKC Current @ Seattle Reign - WED, March 25 at 8:00PM CTSKC II vs. St. Louis City 2 - SAT, March 28 at 2:00PMUSMNT vs Belgium - SAT, March 28 at 2:30PMKC Current @ Portland Thorns - SAT, March 28 at 3:00PM As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Dan Buck dissects the misuse and mismanagement of the Rams settlement funds across St. Louis City and County, criticizing elected officials for budget shortfalls, bureaucratic inefficiency, and squandered opportunities. He highlights the original plan by Dave Spence to use the money for low-interest, business-focused economic development loans that could have created perpetual growth, contrasting it with the current Democratic approach of dispersing funds through government programs with little long-term impact. Buck also touches on broader civic issues, including crime, tax increases, and infrastructure decay, illustrating how political dysfunction undermines regional progress.
