"Can you tell us how he died, where and why?" On August 9, 2025, Mo Salah tweeted this above a Uefa post which said "Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the Palestinian Pele". Salah's tweet has been viewed 140 million times. On Free State today, Melissa Reddy talks to Dion about the cultural importance of Mo Salah, how he has been held to a different standard and why his last year at Liverpool wasn't what it seemed.

For the Glory KC is back with the 190th episode of the show!Ted Lasso's "love letter to Kansas City" leads the podcast this week. The first episode of season four was filled with KC easter eggs and has a lot of the world talking about Kansas City. We talked about what we loved and what it could mean for the world's understanding of KC.Sporting Kansas City had the week off, but there is plenty swirling around the team still. Mo Salah officially spurned Sporting KC in favor of signing in Turkiye. Andre Luiz didn't sign with SKC this week, at least not officially. But there are more clues that move is on the horizon. And Manu Garcia posted to Instagram in a way that was misinterpreted by some as a goodbye. Luckily Manu cleared it up for us.The KC Current hit the road and earned a draw that felt like a loss after they led for a great deal of their game against the Houston Dash. It felt like a tactical failure of Chris Armas and his coaching staff to go into a shell for the entire second half. A semi-controversial penalty call on Elizabeth Ball let Houston tie it up and that's how it ended, 1-1.In happier news, Debinha broke the all-time NWSL goal scoring record. Croix Bethune was honored on the NWSL team of the month and there were several positive injury updates for the depleted Current. Plus, Malawi and Temwa Chawinga are on the verge of history.In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:All that FIFA dramaRacing Louisville could be relocatedNew MLS Commissioner and his inherited projectsHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Ted Lasso - 3:31Sporting KC - 16:04KC Current - 35:48Digital Crawl - 51:41Upcoming GamesSKC II @ Austin FC II, SUN, Aug 9th at 7:30PM CSTKC Current @ Gotham, FRI, Aug 14th at 7:00PMSKC II vs. Rapids 2, SAT, Aug 15th at 7:00PMSporting KC @ Colorado Rapids, SAT, Aug 15th at 8:30PMAs 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.

New season. New studio. Same John Obi Mikel!Mikel is back with Chris McHardy as they look ahead to the brand new domestic football season.As Xabi Alonso's Chelsea revolution takes shape, the guys analyse the new arrivals and hypothesise on what transfer business is still needed. Emi Martinez, anyone? Mikel gives his verdict on Morgan Rogers and the other high-profile midfield acquisitions across the Premier Lesgue. From Elliott Anderson to Sandro Tonali to the “best signing of the lot”.Mikel also weighs in on the ‘will he, won't he' transfer of Vini Jnr, gives his thoughts on Mo Salah's link to Trabzonspor and explains why José Mourinho could be about to author one heck of a final chapter at Real Madrid.Taking the Mikel is back!

For the Glory KC is back with the 189th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City returned home only to have a handful of mistakes derail any sort of opportunity to bounce back. They welcomed the Houston Dynamo to town and changed up their gameplan to some positive effect before Lasse Berg Johnsen got a red card and fumbled the plan.From there, Stefan Cleveland and Calvin Harris mistakes took away any chance to claw out some points in the MLS standings. It left us questioning if it's time for John Pulskamp to take back over in goal. Along with Rapha Wicky's job security a mere 18 games into the season. Also, what's up with Manu Garcia not starting?But there were bright spots. The defense looked good in this back four's first start together and the mistakes could hardly be pinned on them. Moises Mosquera got his first start, and Jake Davis had a good night. Plus, it was Harry Potter night, so that brought some interesting conversation. And there were injury updates on Zorhan Bassong, Taylor Calheira, Justin Reynolds and Diego Borges.In other Sporting KC news, there were rumor updates on Andre Luiz and Mo Salah, as well as a loan for Cielo Tschantret and Tim Leibold finds a new home. In news that came out after recording, another rumor, with even more detail, that the Andre Luiz deal is just pending a medical.The KC Current knocked out two home games and came away with four points. First, a 5-1 win over Racing Louisville followed by a 1-1 draw against Angel City FC. Why doesn't it feel like enough? Are we just super spoiled from the 2025 Kansas City Current's regular season? Probably.We talk through Haley Hopkins finally slotting in at center forward and going off for three goals and an assist over two games. Plus, all the missing players and the news that Michelle Cooper and Lorena are still "a few weeks away."In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:FIFA tries and fails to sell the World CupSKC II resultsMLS rule changesSave the Caps!NWSL 2027 calendarHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 10:25KC Current - 49:31Digital Crawl - 1:08:41Upcoming GamesKC Current @ Houston Dash, SAT, Aug. 8th at 7:45PM CSTSKC II @ Austin FC II, SUN, Aug 9th at 7:30PMNo Sporting KC -- it's the Leagues Cup and they aren't in itAs 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.

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.

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.

Transfer season is in full swing, England are out of the World Cup, and Chelsea's board is once again €20 million short of common sense. We get into all of it.Church is in session this week as we run through everything that's happened — and pointedly not happened — in Chelsea's transfer window. Trevoh Chalobah looks bound for Como, the Pep Chavarría saga has gone fully sideways, and we're now officially linked to Porto's Diogo Costa, which naturally means the board thinks he's worth €20m less than his release clause. We also debut a brand new segment: the Shitty Transfer Rumor of the Week. It goes about as well as you'd expect.Farewell, TrevChalobah has finally said yes to Como — except now Como might be getting cold feet, having never actually met our valuation. We're both sad to see him go: Chelsea through and through, a solid role player who did a lot for the club. Jason floats a theory that Como is waiting on England's third-place match to see if Trev finally gets minutes (and stays healthy) before dropping the cash. Also on the record: if Thomas Tuchel plays Reece James in that match, we are both going to lose it.The Left-Back Saga: Chavarría vs. CarrerasRayo Vallecano has gone from wanting €21m for Pep Chavarría to demanding his full €42 million release clause — for a 28-year-old with zero Spain caps whose market value sits around €10m. Meanwhile we've bid €25m for Real Madrid's Álvaro Carreras, a player Xabi Alonso has actually managed and might actually want. We go back and forth on which link is real, but land in the same place: if the prices are comparable, go get the guy your manager knows. And half of Chelsea Twitter screaming “back Xabi” over a Rayo left-back needs to log off.Diogo Costa and the €20 Million ProblemHere's the one that sends Daniel over the edge. Chelsea are linked to Porto keeper Diogo Costa — Portugal's starting goalkeeper at this World Cup — who has a €60m release clause. The board's position? He's worth more like 40. Just pay the extra €20 million and lock down the position for the next five to seven years. Get a shirt sponsor — you know, like every other club in the Premier League has — and you've found the money. Five sporting directors, and this is the M.O. every time: wildly overpay (Cucurella, Mudryk, Gittens, Delap, Fofana, Badiashile, Disasi) or nickel-and-dime a deal to death. There's no in-between.John Stones on a Free?Joe Cole and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink both say Chelsea should sign John Stones on a free after City let him walk. Jason's initially in — then remembers Stones is 32 and, in Daniel's words, “can't jump anymore.” But with Chalobah leaving and our record buying defenders in their prime, we grudgingly agree: he started every England match at the World Cup while Fofana, Disasi and Badiashile sat at home. He can't make the back line worse. The fact that we're seriously weighing this — and might lose the bidding war to Leeds — tells you exactly where this club is right now.Shitty Transfer Rumor of the Week (New Segment!)Our new favorite thing. Jason brings a single-sourced Egyptian TV report that Mo Salah wants to come home to Chelsea. Daniel counters with PSG — the two-time defending Champions League winners — preparing a €65m bid for Nicolas Jackson. Both are complete nonsense. Both are exactly why this segment exists. We close with the Disasi-to-West-Ham rumor (£25m reported) and whether this board will ever move the players nobody wants. This is a public episode.

The World Cup final is set, and do you know what that means?  MLS is Back, baby!  After inundating yourselves with game after game filled with the most talented players on earth, we bring you the only matchup that can satiate your desires for quality football:  Marcel Hartel vs. Wyatt Meyer.  Jokes aside, this dumb league we love so much is back in play in less than 24 hours as we record this podcast, and while I have enjoyed every minute of the World Cup, I am actually excited to get back to business and “take it from here” as it were.Sporting Kansas City remain in the news as the secondary transfer window officially opens and new signings can be registered.  They've already been linked to high priced winger Yann Gboho, but things did not stop there.  They apparently have multiple targets including one Liverpool legend that will have the other member of this podcast duo running straight to the Sporting Style store shouting shut up and take my money for a jersey should that move come to fruition.  It's fun to be part of the hot stove discussion, and new majority owner Peter Mallouk is ensuring that the team has whatever resources necessary to make a splash and improve the talent on the roster.David Lee plus a cadre of folks sat with the media for almost an hour yesterday, the first time since early June that such a forum was made available, and there was a lot to glean from that conversation, and we will do our best to cover all those potential details.In Potpourri, we will discuss those captivating world cup semifinal matches and how they went down, as well as the Kansas City Current's concerning road form continuing(as well as what might be causing it), including some injury and availability issues that could cause results to be harder to attain for the next several weeks.Finally we will preview the beginning of the 2nd half( ⅔'s?) of the season opener vs the scum in scumville.  SKC have signed reinforcements since they last took the field, and it will be fascinating to see how those integrate and if they can raise the competitive floor of the club.

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.

El delantero estadounidense Folarin Balogun alineó hoy contra Bélgica después de haber sido expulsado en su partido anterior y ser merecedor de una suspensión, sin embargo por injerencia del Presidente Norteamericano la FIFA eliminó dicha suspensión y con ello provocó la reprobación de todo el mundo. Hoy tenemos el análisis de Paty Cantú sobre el partido de anoche de la Selección Nacional. El 'Vasco' se despidió ayer tras la eliminación de México. Hoy en la tarde el Portugal de CR7 se despidió cayendo por la mínima ante la 'Furia Roja' y nuestro Estaquita 'Picioso' rompió en júbilo celebrando por todo lo alto el avance de España. La Belga le metió 4 a Estados Unidos y con esto ya no quedan anfitriones vivos en este torneo. Ahora España recibirá todo el embate de la poderosísima Bélgica, con el poderoso empuje por delante que imprime Romelu Lukaku. Mañana Messi y Argentina jugará contra el Egipto de Mo Salah y Suiza se medirá a Lucho Díaz y la gran Colombia.
