We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. The Whitecaps finally got back to MLS action this past week with a tough two-game road trip that saw them head home to Vancouver with just a solitary point from games against FC Cincinnati and Minnesota United. We look at the good, the bad, and the ugly coming out of those two matches, with very little in the first category but a lot of concern in the other two. Adding to that concern are more injury woes, no new signings seeming imminent, and the confirmed departed of key midfield piece Sebastian Berhalter to Middlesbrough. We also look at Thomas Müller lighting up the MLS All Star Game activities, MLS discussing much-needed changes to their roster rules and regulations, and round-up the weekend's action in the CPL. All of this plus a little bit more Whitecaps stadium chat, while music-wise, we've three C86 songs for you with tracks from Stitched-back Foot Airman, The Jasmine Minks, and The Chesterfields, and we have another song from a footballer in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.23: Intro - Island time 15.40: Whitecaps take just one point in frustrating two-game road trip 50.50: Whitecaps have big hole to fill as Berhalter sold to Boro 77.09: Whitecaps and Lions both looking to buy BC Place now? 87.45: Thomas Müller shines at MLS All-Star Game shooting challenge 94.35: MLS owners considering big changes to roster rules and regulations 109.15: CPL round-up - Vancouver FC are in the playoff places 124.00: Wavelength - Andy Cole - Outstanding

For the Glory KC is back with the 188th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had a very busy week. They played two more games, which we'll get to, but they also were much more firmly linked to Brazilian winger Andre Luiz (sorry for calling him David on the podcast over and over before getting my act together).Tom Bogert is reporting the deal isn't done yet, but "it is getting closer."He and Globo (Brazil) are both reporting an $18 million transfer fee with up to $4m in add-ons. Other outlets have it even higher. Sheena and I work through all the feelings on this. Is it too much money? Does it matter if Peter Mallouk will keep spending? Will he make this team better? And we can't forget to talk about Mo Salah more as well and if that deal remains a possibility.Then we work our way through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in a week. Sporting KC played their first home game in two months and defeated Minnesota United. But then they went on the road and laid an egg in a 4-0 loss to LAFC.It had quite a few people calling for Raphael Wicky's job, just 17 games into the season. With 17 to go, is it too early to pull the plug?Plus, we talk briefly about the blown call that PRO admitted to around the St. Louis City SC game and some big Gianluca Busio news.In KC Current news, they lost. Again. They are an abysmal 1-3-1 since returning from their World Cup break. It makes that world's best team slogan come off really silly. This time they lost to the Boston Legacy, who are way down the table.In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:Kansas City World Cup ratings (we're #1 baby!)Casemiro's deal with Inter MiamiAnd a huge transfer fee for a 15-year-old, Benji Flowers, out of FC DallasHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 7:07KC Current - 1:07:48Digital Crawl - 1:19:51Upcoming GamesKC Current vs. Racing Louisville - WED, July 29th at 7:00PM CSTKC Current vs. Angel City FC - SAT, Aug. 1st at 5:30PM Sporting KC vs. Houston Dynamo - SAT, Aug. 1st at 7:30PM 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.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a question about the Wild's pursuit of a No. 1 center. Maybe they have one already? Plus thoughts on the Twins and LeBron James. 9:00: Jon Marthaler joins to talk about his independent soccer venture, the World Cup and Minnesota United. 31:00: The Lynx held on for a tense win in Seattle.
Wildfires are burning more than 60,000 acres and hundreds of firefighters from around the country have come to northeastern Minnesota to try and contain the flames. We got the latest from Ely and spoke to one crew that's helping to contain the fires.The Boundary Waters is a sanctuary to many Minnesotans. One writer shared more about the mental toll of seeing the area go up in flames. Plus, wildfires aren't the only thing impacting the border with Canada. We heard from some border businesses about deteriorating economic conditions. And Spain has won the World Cup! A local soccer reporter talked about the game and how the U.S. did as host. Also, if you're itching for more soccer, Minnesota United is back in action.The Minnesota Music Minute was “Leave No Trace” by Jerry Vandiver. “Call It What It Is” by Beginner's Luck was the Song of the Day.
For the Glory KC is back with the 187th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City returned to action in Major League Soccer after a seven-week break and it didn't go great. They were on the road, for some reason playing a rivalry game midweek, against St. Louis City SC. They fell behind 2-0 before tying it up and giving up a penalty late to lose it.We break down the biggest moments from the game, if there was progress and of course, we have to talk about the questionable officiating. At least games are close enough for the officials to influence for a change?In other Sporting KC news, David Lee gave a press conference last week where he touched on a wide range of subjects. He didn't want to speak about any player specifically (Mo Salah, Andre Luiz, Yann Gboho, etc.). But he did talk about how the budget has changed and they are chasing big fees and big salaries. The team is targeting two to four more signings, including one more defender and the rest being focused in the attack. Plus, the team made a couple trades this week that will facilitate a future move.In KC Current news, their perfect home record evaporated in the 90th minute against the San Diego Wave. I quickly break down the game as Sheena's best friend was in town and they did not watch. Plus, Debinha signs a new deal, Temwa Chawinga is going to miss a bunch of games and Desiree Scott is bringing an expansion team to Canadian women's soccer.And for one last week, "we're a World Cup podcast." The semifinals, third place and championship games all went down since we last spoke and we've got some thoughts!In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:Mauricio Pochettino may be returning to the USMNTMLS ads are suddenly running during the World CupAnd MLS is getting a new commissionerPlus, SKC II and KC Current II updatesHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 4:03KC Current - 43:30World Cup - 52:05Digital Crawl - 1:10:41Upcoming GamesSporting KC vs. Minnesota United, WED, July 22nd at 7:30PM CSTKC Current @ Boston Legacy, SAT, July 25th at 4:00PMSporting KC @ LAFC, SAT, July 25th at 9:30PMAs 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.

But a late-breaking injury doubt puts a serious doubt on the global superstar's participation, while the Galaxy will also be without one of their stars in this game, an early "6-pointer" in the G's MLS campaign.

Time to break out the winter scarves for this weekend's first big away trip to the chilly confines of Saint Paul. FC Cincinnati makes another heralded trek to Minnesota United, hoping to stitch multiple solid performances together. The Orange & Blue have left their history in the past, winning their last two visits to Allianz Field and leaving all memories of their worst loss ever in the snowdrifts. As much as Cincinnati has kept their roster primarily constant in the offseason, the Loons have endured a very turbulent winter with a roster that looks quite different. The promise of superstar James Rodrigues has been tempered with the uncertainty of new head coach Cam Knowles, but the first match at least brought a point back to their home opener. We talk with Dan from The Loony Bin Podcast to analyze the roster shifts and expectations. Can Minnesota alter the trend of Cincinnati taking the wins? Will we hear "Wonderwall" or "Mr. Brightside" after 90 minutes? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

The guys debate midfield fits, form vs. talent, and how Poch should handle the situation. Plus: James Rodríguez is officially a Minnesota United player. Is the risk worth it for the Loons? And what does Concacaf's new World Cup qualifying format mean for the USMNT?
