For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIn Depth on the KC Current and One Existential SKC QuestionFor 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...2025-06-231h 08For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Game of MisfortunesFor 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...2025-06-161h 11For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCJansen Miller Leans Further into his Villain EraFor 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...2025-06-101h 21For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCPulskamp has Proved Himself as an MLS StarterFor the Glory KC is back with the 134th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City went on the road and picked up a massive three points in a statistically defiant weekend. It was their first win in Houston since October 3, 2020. They had been 0-3-3 in their prior six visits in all competitions. The victory also broke a 19-game winless streak when they gave up the first goal in a game. Adding to all of that, Kerry Zavagnin has now been in charge for 10 games and has led his team to an appropriate 4-3-3 record...2025-06-021h 06For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Wild Sporting KC Comeback and an Ode to Gadi KindaFor the Glory KC is back with the 133rd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had a very heavy week. After the unexpected passing of former teammate Gadi Kinda, the team had to try to find a way to host the New England Revolution. It looked grim early as the team fell down 2-0 before staging a wild eight minutes in the second half where they scored three times to take the lead.Ultimately, the Revs stole a goal late to tie it, but the outburst of goals was the loudest I can remember...2025-05-261h 27For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCDefense and Villain AppreciationFor the Glory KC is back with the 132nd episode of the show after an unexpected week off. Sporting Kansas City had a very busy week loaded with (frankly, ridiculous) travel. After nearly 5,000 miles, they picked up two hard fought points against St. Louis City SC and San Diego FC. The draw against their cross-state rivals definitely felt like a victory as they snatched the point from the jaws of defeat. The San Diego game was more of a slog, as though a team had travelled a ton, heavily rotated their lineup, missed one of their two D...2025-05-191h 26For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe Force was With Sporting Kansas CityFor the Glory KC is back with the 131st episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City made Major League Soccer history this week. While it's not the history that anyone really wants to make, taking zero shots in a game, the part that is historic is they won. No team in the 30 years of MLS has ever failed to take a single shot and still found a way to win.The 1-0 win over the basement dwelling LA Galaxy wasn't easy. Los Angeles had two of their Designated Players in the starting lineup and arguably...2025-05-061h 19For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCOne Step Forward and Two Steps Back for Sporting KCFor the Glory KC is back with the 128th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City returned to their struggling ways, at least in terms of results. If Twitter were the judge, fire everyone, cut the whole team. But it's less than two weeks into Kerry Zavagnin being the coach and there was absolutely promise (at least on offence) in the second game under his leadership. Sheena and I work through the highs and lows from the game. The team showed good fight when they made two comebacks, but their third attempt didn't come off....2025-04-141h 22For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe 200 Day Winless Streak Ends for Sporting KCFor the Glory KC is back with the 127th episode of the show!Our long national nightmare is over! Sporting Kansas City have finally won a game. New interim coach Kerry Zavagnin is a perfect 1-0-0 and he got the best of Sporting KC's rival, St. Louis City SC. It put an exclamation point at the end of a tumultuous and emotional week for anyone in and around Sporting KC.Sheena and I work through the big moments of the game. From our pre-game emotions and expectations to Dejan Joveljic's breakout performance. We also t...2025-04-071h 30For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCEMERGENCY PODCAST: Peter Vermes Out as Sporting KC CoachEpisode 126 a day after 125? It's an emergency people! After nearly 16 years in charge, Sporting Kansas City announced they had "mutually parted ways" with Chief Soccer Officer and Manager, Peter Vermes. Sheena and I get together for an impromptu podcast about one subject: Peter Vermes. But there is a lot of meat on that bone.

We started there and then moved into discussing another loss.In terms of the cries for Vermes' resignation, Sheena and I get into whether we actually think this will happen and the case to be made for and against him leaving. It's also worth remembering, he's just entering this second year of a five-year extension. That co...2025-03-311h 15For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCWhen Will Sporting KC Win Again?For the Glory KC is back with the 124th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City dropped their most recent match with LAFC 2-0. It was their 11th loss in their last 12 games with the only other result being last week's draw against Minnesota United. Of course, we have to discuss what happened in the game and what needs to change. But the biggest question, other than the job security of Peter Vermes (which we address), is 'When will Sporting KC win again?'The upcoming schedule has games that appear more winnable than others...2025-03-251h 18For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC May have Started to Right the ShipFor the Glory KC is back with the 123rd episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City came back to life on Saturday night. When it looked like they were dead and destined to extend their 10-game losing streak, they clawed back for a 3-3 draw against Minnesota United. A draw isn't a win, but it's a step in the right direction. That first point of 2025 also keeps them out of the basement of the league (on goal differential, but it counts).Sheena and I work through our thoughts from the game. We talk about John...2025-03-171h 15For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC's Losing Streak Hits TenFor 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...2025-03-101h 03For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCNerves Grow as Sporting KC Remain WinlessFor 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...2025-03-031h 29For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCShould we get Worked up About the Sporting KC Losses?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 n...2025-02-241h 35For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC Want to Add Players "All Over the Place"For the Glory KC is back with the 118th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had a very busy week with two more preseason games under their belts. Before that theylocked down the signings of Designated Player Manu Garcia and Russian winger Shapi Suleymanov.

Sporting Kansas City have folks a bit worried after a 1-0 loss to Florida International University. We talk through the concerns of the fans and weigh in on if we are concerned at all. Sheena and I also take a look at who did and who didn't play against FIU. After the game the media talked to Peter Vermes, Mason Toye and Stephen Afrifa. We learned a lot about Toye and his play style and Vermes gave important updates on signings, injuries...2025-01-201h 26For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC "Will Have Additional Signings to Announce"For the Glory KC is back with the 114th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City had a lot of news this week. Two signings were made. The first was the addition of 19-year-old Homegrown Jacob Bartlett who was followed by veteran MLS striker Mason Toye. We break down what the signings mean, and what they don't. Then Sheena and I get into the numerous quotes from the press conference with Chief Soccer Officer Peter Vermes and Sporting Director Mike Burns. The most impactful quotes, at least when it comes to roster building, were mostly...2025-01-131h 29For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIs it Time to Panic about the 2025 Sporting KC Roster Build?For the Glory KC is back with the 113th episode of the show and the first one of Season Four! Sporting Kansas City lead off the show, as is almost always the case. Just like the last episode two weeks ago, there are no signings but there is actually news. The biggest of the stories broke today with the rumor that Alan Pulido may be departing Sporting KC to head back to Chivas in Liga MX. There are now three separate sources saying Pulido is leaving for Mexico, with the latest pegging the transfer fee...2025-01-071h 27For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe Best Sporting KC Road Trips in 2025For the Glory KC is back with the 112th episode of the show. While there weren't any signings (don't worry, we address that too), Sporting Kansas City did have a fairly big week. The 2025 MLS schedule came out, Sporting KC had a rumored signing, they drafted three players and announced a section of preseason is open to the public with a couple games that you can actually go watch. On the schedule front, Sporting KC open their season on the road against Austin FC before returning home to face the San Jose Earthquakes on March 1...2024-12-231h 30For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCWe've Got Multiple 2025 Sporting KC DatesFor the Glory KC is back with the 111th episode of the show. The 2024 MLS season just came to an end eight days ago, but we've already got Sporting Kansas City dates for 2025. This past week the draw for Sporting KC's CONCACAF Champions Cup opponent happened and the team drew fellow MLS club Inter Miami. Shortly after, the Feb 18th and 25th dates were announced for the two-legged competition. As a part of that release, January 11th was listed as the date that SKC's 2025 preseason will begin with players reporting to Kansas City. That's just...2024-12-161h 09For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe Return of the Casual Perspective to For the Glory KCFor 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...2024-11-251h 25For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCReactions to Sporting KC's Roster Moves; Feilhaber Moving on from SKC IIS3E42 (#107) - For the Glory KC is back with the 107th episode of the show.   The week of the offseason we've been waiting for and simultaneously dreading has arrived. Sporting Kansas City announced their roster moves, including moving on from eight players. And it sounds like they wanted to move on from more. Due to an emergency, Sheena missed her second straight podcast (it's a really good reason, find it in your heart to forgive). In her stead we brought on not one, but two extra co-hosts: KC Soccer Journal st...2024-11-181h 48For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCPlaying Fantasy Sporting Director for Sporting KC in 2024S3E40 - For the Glory KC is back with the 105th episode of the show.  This week, we do what we've teased off and on for months. We play Fantasy Sporting Director (move aside Mike Burns!) for Sporting Kansas City. It's something we did last year too. I imagine, you may want to play along as well. We'd love to hear from you in the comments, or on the various social media accounts we plug at the end of every podcast, who you would or wouldn't keep. There are 16 players that are either out o...2024-11-041h 37For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC's Season is Over, Now What?S3E38 - For the Glory KC is back with the 103rd episode of the show.  After a week off, the podcast returns. Sporting Kansas City also had a week off, and now we know the offseason schedule, so the urgency to do our fantasy Sporting Director episode has waned for a week. It'll make a great topic for next week. This week though, we briefly talk about the action on the field in the season finale. Sporting KC lost 2-1 to FC Dallas, but technically outscored them if you count that Joaquin Fernandez own g...2024-10-211h 28For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCHow Many Sporting KC Players Played their Final Home Game?S3E37 - For the Glory KC is back with the 102nd episode of the show. Sporting Kansas City are one game away from the end of their 2024 season, but it's effectively over. This past Saturday served as the final home game of the season. According to my colleague, Mike Kuhn, a statistically terrible one. We keep our conversation about the 3-0 loss to LAFC to a minimum, though Tim Melia and the debut of Joaquin Fernandez got some time. Mostly, we focused on a few of the players who are out of contract after...2024-10-081h 07For the Glory KCFor the Glory KC100th Episode ExtravaganzaS3E25 (100 overall!) - For the Glory KC is back with the 100th episode of the show! Wow... 100! Since it's the 100th episode, we did things a little different this week. The first segment takes a more historical look Sporting Kansas City and our relationship to the team. We tell stories about how we got into Sporting KC and our journey to this point. Then we do our all-time Sporting KC starting XI, except we really just did a team from the last decade (as is explained in the pod). I finally got a chance...2024-09-231h 38For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Loss, a Win, a Draw and an Exclusive Sporting KC Town HallS3E34 - For the Glory KC is back with the 99th episode of the show! (Our 100th episode is next week, should we do something special?)  Sporting Kansas City and the KC Cauldron put on a cool event this past week. Manager Peter Vermes (he joked several times, he's not the Sporting Director anymore) and CEO and President Jake Reid did a town hall with KC Cauldron members. I share just a couple of the many, many stories that he shared and questions that he answered. I would call it a 'must attend' event and if y...2024-09-091h 17For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIf Roster Rules Didn't Exist, Who Would You Keep on Sporting KC?S3E31 - For the Glory KC is back with the 96th episode of the show!  Sporting Kansas City didn't lose this week. Of course, they didn't play either. However, they did make some news. They finally made a signing, basically their first "big" signing of the year. We technically don't know how much new center back Joaquin Fernandez is making, but I'd guess he's on a Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) deal which is more than the four minimum contract guys that were signed in the offseason. It may be less, but it won't be the minimum.2024-08-181h 33For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCWho is Starter Quality of the Sporting KC CBs?S3E30 - For the Glory KC is back with the 95th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City came back down to earth this week with two losses just days apart to get bounced from the Leagues Cup. First, there was a competitive game against Toluca FC that featured a beautiful Stephen Afrifa goal, only to come up short. But SKC won the expected goals (xG) battle and showed some promise. Then Vermes benched Willy Agada and went back to Alan Pulido and the team had an abysmal 4-0 loss against the Columbus Crew t...2024-08-111h 48For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC and the Leagues Cup is Actually FunS3E29 - For the Glory KC is back with the 94th episode of the show!   Sporting Kansas City are back to their winning ways, even if it is against the lowly Chicago Fire. They thoroughly controlled the game, and despite going down 1-0 early, fought back for a 2-1 victory. Superman made its way into the show twice this week, including Willy's form on the diving header and a weird discussion about what Peter Vermes has tattooed under his shirt.

Five to be exact. And we just took off one week for our Canadian vacation! Sheena and I discuss our trip to the great white north, Banff, Vancouver, Albert, British Columbia and more. Then we get down to the soccer, starting with that 1-1 draw against rivals St. Louis City SC. To lead off the game, we had to discuss Thor getting away with a c...2024-07-221h 34For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIs Ownership to Blame for some Sporting KC Struggles?S3E27 - For the Glory KC is back with the 92nd episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City had a busy week both on and off the field. Primarily, this week's episode is focused on the off the field matters due to recording schedules. We're heading out of the country early in the week and may be taking a brief hiatus from podcasting, so be sure to subscribe to the podcast to catch when the next episode comes out. This week, Sporting KC introduced Mike Burns as their new Sporting Director and he and...2024-07-071h 43For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Perfect KC Soccer Weekend and Front Office MovementS3E26 - For the Glory KC is back with the 91st episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City got themselves back in the win column this week for just the fourth time this season. On Saturday night, they shut out Austin FC 2-0, just their second shutout in 21 tries this season. The victory was picked up by quality finishing and even better defense. It also feels like someone over at Sporting KC in the technical staff may be listening to the podcast. Last week, we put out a loose plan for going forward in 2024...2024-06-301h 53For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCFor the Glory KC Way After DarkS3E25 - For the Glory KC is back with the 90th episode of the show! Things get weird as we recorded waaay after dark. Sporting Kansas City had another rough week. So much, that my co-host preferred we "just get it over with" on Saturday night versus waiting to do a podcast on Sunday. Despite that, we have a lot of thoughts about the losses to Real Salt Lake and the Columbus Crew. I'd like to think it was more about the catharsis of getting some of these thoughts out, while they are fresh in our...2024-06-231h 45For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC Owners Say Peter Vermes' Job is SafeS3E23 - For the Glory KC is back with the 88th episode of the show!  Sporting Kansas City ended the streak! For the second straight season (let's not make it three, please) Sporting KC ended a 10-game winless run with a victory over the Seattle Sounders. This time, it was seven straight losses, so a win was a massive relief. The question is, can Sporting KC sustain this success? They got the game winning goal against a 10-man Seattle side and their expected goals (xG) was actually lower than Seattle's. Then again, confidence can d...2024-06-111h 19For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCTwo Wins and a Loss but Things Still Feel Bad in KC SoccerS3E21 - For the Glory KC is back with the 86th episode of the show!  Sporting Kansas City have extended their losing streak to five games. But before we get to the bad results, they did have a good result this week. They did what a Major League Soccer team should have done and downed FC Tulsa, a second division foe, 4-0 in the US Open Cup. That sets Sporting KC up to play FC Dallas in the quarterfinal where they only need three more wins to lift a trophy in an otherwise abysmal year. 2024-05-271h 17For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCHow Well are Sporting KC Spending Their MoneyS3E20 - For the Glory KC is back with the 85th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City keep disappointing us. This time, it was a 3-2 loss on the road against Austin FC. Peter Vermes made a big deal about "effort" and "mentality" after last week's loss against the Houston Dynamo, but the changes to the lineup were minimal. Sheena and I discuss what we thought was going to happen versus what happened and how things played out. Did the new starters play glorious or did the wrong people find their way to...2024-05-201h 34For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCHow Far Down Can Sporting KC Go?S3E19 - For the Glory KC is back with the 84th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City just keep tumbling. They are down to 12th place in the Western Conference, just a single point ahead of 13th and 14th placed San Jose Earthquakes and the Portland Timbers. They got there with a 2-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night. Sheena and I set out to try and figure out what is wrong. I have a theory that they actually need to go away from the 4-2-3-1 formation and back...2024-05-131h 10For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Tale of Lowered ExpectationsS3E18 - For the Glory KC is back with the 83rd episode of the show!  Sporting Kansas City are now winless in five straight. Heading into the Real Salt Lake game, it never really felt like they were going to win, but they kept it close for a long time. There were six changes to the lineup, as well as four subs used. The offense wasn't clicking but John Pulskamp nearly came through with some hero ball. Sheena and I weigh in on that lineup choices, all the missing players for illness (Radoja) and i...2024-05-061h 32For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCAssessing Sporting KC's Season 10-Games InS3E17 - For the Glory KC is back with the 82nd episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City are officially 10 games into their 2024 season and it's a benchmark that Peter Vermes likes to focus on. The team is 2-3-5 (11 points) and sitting in 10th place. It's better than last season, but that's an incredibly low bar to clear. We asked Peter Vermes how he felt about where the team was, and his answers left something to be desired. My colleague Jimmy Mack Tweeted out the quotes.

Sheena and I's audio tracks are out of sync and I'm responding to things she said, but she hasn't said them yet because of a delay. We recorded on Sunday night, and she hasn't had time to re-record.

I'm not sure if you heard, but Sporting Kansas City were out here setting records last night. 72,610 fans were in attendance inside Arrowhead stadium to witness Sporting KC take on Lionel Messi and friends on Inter Miami CF. The end result was a loss, but were there 'wins' to be had? On this week's episode, Sheena talks about her experience in the stands contrasting to my experience from behind the scenes and in the press box.

Sheena and her casual takes are back! Two weeks of no regular co-host was weird. So, let's get weird in a different way with a late-night podcast recording session. We start the show with Sporting Kansas City who have found a way to drop nine points in just seven games from a winning position. It's definitely better than how 2023 started, but it feels like a lot of miss opportunities. The game started so good with a 3-0 Sp...2024-04-081h 11For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCComfortable Wins and Offside ShenanigansS3E13 - For the Glory KC is back with the 78th episode of the show!

Juan Cisneros and Xander Kennedy make their For the Glory KC debuts! Don't worry, Sheena will be back, but we just closed out an eight-day road trip with a seven-and-a-half-hour drive and only one of us was a soccer sicko enough to immediately make a podcast.

This week, there is no place to start but with the KC Current and their historic opening of CPKC Stadium. 11,500 showed up for the sellout in an all too thrilling win over the Portland Thorns. The final score of 5-4 almost ruined an otherwise perfect opening day (well, that an Debinha getting injured). But they got the win!

Sporting Kansas City are still undefeated, but three straight draws aren't exactly what most were hoping for to start the season. But hey, at least they didn't lose! Sheena and I break down the game and get into all sorts of details. We start on a new starting XI that was forced because Remi Walter was out dealing with his ankle injury he picked up against the Philadelphia Union. He was replaced by Memo Rodriguez who had an up...2024-03-111h 03For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCRemi Knows Who Sheena is and She's Mortified!S3E09 - For the Glory KC is back with the 74th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City played their home opener, and it went really well... for 94 minutes. We break down the end of the game, rate the replacement refs and make numerous other observations about the game. Peter Vermes was not very happy, but he didn't blame the replacement refs. Though he did get very fired up in the post-game press conference. Before we get to the soccer though, we have to take a detour to Sporting KC media day.

Sporting Kansas City got the 2024 season underway on Saturday night and it was more of a whimper than a bang, but it's early. While play was sloppy and the passes were often off target, it is only one game into the year and the team managed a draw despite not playing particularly well. Sheena returns to the podcast, and we break down the goals by both teams and a tactical wrinkle with Erik Thommy and Remi Walter. We also...2024-02-261h 17For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting Kansas City Season PreviewS3E07 - For the Glory KC is back with the 72nd episode of the show! Before we get to the soccer, despite my efforts to mostly keep the podcast out of the political realm, we have to speak of the horrible tragedy at Union Station this week in Kansas City. It shouldn't be political, but it somehow is. I realize sports are an escape for many, myself included, but I can't sit idly by. There are time stamps below if you want to 'stick to the soccer.' Or if you don't want to listen, that's...2024-02-191h 01For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThis is the Sporting KC Roster We're GettingS3E06 - For the Glory KC is back with the 71st episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City didn't have any huge news in the week, but there were a lot of little stories building towards the start of 2024. First, the roster seems set with the news that Kellyn Acosta would not be signing with Sporting KC and Peter Vermes confirming it's "highly unlikely" a Designated Player is signed before Week 1. Sheena and I share how we're feeling about the roster. Then we weigh in on Khiry Shelton's now serious injury and surgery, Daniel S...2024-02-131h 03For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIs Kellyn Acosta a Remi Walter Replacement?S03E04 - For the Glory KC is back with the 69th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City have a lot going on this week, considering real soccer is still nearly a month away. A topic to break Sheena's heart is if Kellyn Acosta, rumored to be joining KC, is being looked at to replace Remi Walter long-term. He primarily plays that same position and Remi is out of contract after the 2024 season. We take a look at the cost and fit of Acosta within Sporting KC. We also briefly discuss Memo Rodriguez being...2024-01-281h 21For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Return to Soccer Coverage?!S03E03 - For the Glory KC is back with the 68th episode of the show! Sporting Kansas City, against everything I personally expected, did the right thing and moved on from Gavin Wilkinson. But somehow, they still got that wrong. From the non-apology given by Mike Illig to Peter Vermes' refusal to even entertain answering questions about the whole situation in Saturday's press conference. We have thoughts! We do get to actually talking soccer this time out though, getting into all the Sporting KC preseason news. From the roster to the schedule and the...2024-01-221h 26For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThey Actually Moved the Messi Game...S3E01 - For the Glory KC is back with the 66th episode of the show and the first episode of season three. And waiting an extra day brought a lot of news! Sporting Kansas City made waves on Monday when they did something that I personally thought was just a fun op-ed I wrote. They moved the Sporting KC versus Inter Miami/Messi game to the Kansas City Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium. Sheena and I discuss the pros, the cons and the massive risks the team is taking. The potential for embarrassment, either by Messi not playing...2024-01-091h 05For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCFour Signings, a Trade and Sporting KC likely lose a Designated PlayerS2E57 - For the Glory KC is back with the 64th episode of the show! On this week's episode we decide to do a "double episode" with Christmas coming next week and likely a slow news week with it. If you are only interested in certain teams/topics, be sure to check out the run down below. We start the show with Sporting Kansas City as they made some moves this week and a few more rumors rolled in. We get into the signings of left back Zorhan Bassong and forward Alenis Vargas. Sheena...2023-12-181h 33For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCOffseason Roster Moves ReactionsS2E55 - For the Glory KC is back with the 62nd episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City made a series of massive roster decisions likely ending the KC soccer careers of Roger Espinoza and Graham Zusi. Sheena and I commiserate, remember fond times and get some of the feels out about their departure. On top of that, we talk about if the moves make sense and how we wanted to see their careers end. Plus, could they end up on other clubs? There is a lot of Roger and Zusi talk...2023-12-031h 12For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC/Houston Preview & Playing KC Current Sporting DirectorS2E53 - For the Glory KC is back with the 60th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City are about to play the Houston Dynamo and we do an early preview for the game. We break down the players to watch for Houston and the form of both teams. Sporting KC struggle on the road in the playoffs in particular and Houston are quite stout at home both this season and historically. Could that spell disaster for Kansas City's season? We give an update on Dany Rosero and his availability...2023-11-221h 16For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCLet's Win it For LoganS2E52 - For the Glory KC is back with the 59th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City don't play any games, but there is still plenty to discuss. While we're calling it the "Logan Ndenbe Appreciation Hour," we don't do an hour on Logan, but we have to discuss his torn ACL, how he's a "dawg," and who is next up to replace him since he's out until next summer. We also give early thoughts on the Houston Dynamo advancing past Real Salt Lake to host Sporting KC in...2023-11-131h 00For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCInstant Reactions to Sporting KC Bouncing St. Louis from the PlayoffsS2E51 - For the Glory KC is back with the 58th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City send St. Louis packing from the playoffs as the eight seed upsets the one seed. Sheena and I have instant reactions from the night of the victory instead of going to bed. We break down the goals (highlights here) and all the big events from the game. It was another incredible atmosphere, and sadly the last Sporting KC home game of 2023, no matter how many more games they manage to win (the...2023-11-061h 13For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCA Tactical MasterclassS2E50 - For the Glory KC is back with the 57th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City continue to blow minds, this time both San Jose and St. Louis fans learned the meaning of disappointment. Sheena and I breeze by that San Jose Earthquakes game to focus on the main event -- a potential three-game series against St. Louis City SC. Sporting KC landed the first blow with an amazing 4-1 road win in the cold and rainy conditions of CITYPARK. We discuss the refereeing of Ted Unkel, the...2023-10-311h 08For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCEveryone Makes the PlayoffsS2E49 - I said it eight months ago. Sporting KC waited until the last minute to prove me right, but 'everyone' gets in. It was quite a feat as no team that was winless through 10-games has ever done it before. For the Glory KC is back with the 56th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City do what seemed impossible at points during the season. They finished the season with the best record, most goals and most points since May 1st in the entire Western Conference to slide into...2023-10-231h 12For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCPlaying Sporting KC Fantasy Sporting DirectorS2E48 - For the Glory KC is back with the 55th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City don't play a game, so instead we take the opportunity to look at their roster and play Fantasy Sporting Director. Imagine if Sporting KC's ownership put us in charge of roster decisions. We decided who to re-sign, who to cut and who's option(s) to decline. Additionally, we both get the chance to buy out one Sporting KC player's contract to save the salary room and get them off the books (and...2023-10-171h 21For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting KC Far from Convincing Against RSLS2E47 - For the Glory KC is back with the 54th episode of the show and it's winning all around! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City get a favor from their long-time rivals Real Salt Lake with a 0:37 red card. Despite a 3-0 lead, it was a little bit of 'hold on to your butts' in the final minutes as RSL clawed back against Sporting KC. Sheena and I break down all the action, our highs and lows, and why there is still plenty to be concerned about. We also go over the...2023-10-091h 16For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCAnalyzing the Collapse by Sporting KC at St. Louis CityS2E46 - For the Glory KC is back with the 53rd episode of the show... and it's a sad week in KC soccer. So. Much. Losing. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City lose the season series to St. Louis City SC. And it got ugly. We break down all four goals and what went wrong, ask some questions of the tactics on the day and more widely on the decision making of the club. After the game, Peter Vermes said it was poor decisions that led to the goals. One assumes he's speaking of the...2023-10-021h 19For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCBoth Sides of the Short-Rest DebateS2E45 - For the Glory KC is back with the 52nd episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City play twice and get two wildly different results. We spend way more time on the happier of the two results as Sporting KC stole all three points off the Houston Dynamo despite playing down a man. We give our thoughts and observations on the squad rotation, Johnny Russell's red card, Erik Thommy's hell of a night, Khiry Shelton's best game of the year and a bit of a stinker from my favorite, Nemanja Radoja.2023-09-251h 03For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe Opportunity Cost of Pulido's Deal and Two Sketchy WinsS2E44 - For the Glory KC is back with the 51st episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City absolutely pull a smash and grab on Minnesota United and stole all three points on the road (just their second road win of the season). Sheena and I give our thoughts on the game with some behind the scenes press conference items snuck in. We also had to talk about if Andreu Fontas should have been sent off for a couple challenges once he was on a yellow card. Perhaps bigger than...2023-09-181h 06For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCNepotism, a Big Win and a Concerning DrawS2E41 - For the Glory KC is back with the 48th episode of the show! (Creeping towards 50, should we do something special?) Sporting Kansas City are back in action after a long break and things (mostly) went very well in a 3-0 win over then fifth place San Jose, minus a potential injury picked up by Johnny Russell (two updates on him, one early, one in the Digital Crawl). This week's podcast was recorded in two "halves" (which is fitting because I guested on Episode 19 of another podcast, the Two Halves Soccer Podcast, this...2023-08-281h 11For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIt's All About the Ladies (Mostly)S2E40 - For the Glory KC is back with the 47th episode of the show! (Creeping towards 50, should we do something special?) On this week's episode, the KC Current headline with SKC taking yet another week off (against their will after being eliminated from the Leagues Cup). Sheena and I discuss the big win from Kansas City against the OL Reign at Children's Mercy Park. Including some behind the scenes from the post-game presser with Caroline Sjoblom, Cece Kizer and AD Franch. Sporting Kansas City don't get entirely left out of the show as...2023-08-211h 26For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe Leagues Cup Format Never Favored Sporting KCS2E39 - For the Glory KC is back with the 46th episode of the show and, finally, Sheena has returned to the podcast! We were overseas for two weeks and decided against another weird, "Chad only" episode and just delayed until we could both record. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City get crushed and bounced out of the Leagues Cup by Toluca. We don't spend a ton of time on that, but instead focus on the "why" behind the elimination. It leads to an interesting conversation about youth soccer, squad rotation and not running guys i...2023-08-141h 19For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCLive from Auckland, New Zealand!S2E38 - For the Glory KC is back with the 45th episode of the show and it's a weird one. No co-host, just me talking to myself. If that sounds like something you'd like to listen to, give it a go. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City beat the best team in Mexico in the Leagues Cup (and were a 96th minute handball away from beating the best team in MLS). That said, how much of that was the schedule finally favoring Sporting KC for the first time in a long time? I definitely think i...2023-08-0231 minFor the Glory KCFor the Glory KCOwn Goals, a Red Card, Handballs and a Bunch of Bad LuckS2E37 - For the Glory KC is back with the 44th episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City give us all a brief moment of hope before snatching it away from us. Sheena and I discuss the exciting Sporting KC versus FC Cincinnati game. If you were a neutral, perhaps a Liga MX/Chivas fan scouting these teams, would it have been obvious who was by far the best team in the league and who was on the outside of the playoffs looking in? Not for the first 15 minutes I'm sure, but t...2023-07-2555 minFor the Glory KCFor the Glory KCExplaining Sporting KC's Poor Results from the WeekS2E36 - For the Glory KC is back with the 43rd episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City continue their bad run of form for their three games in eight days when they managed only two points over three games. Sheena and I head through the week chronologically working through the Sporting KC/Real Salt Lake game, the halftime media game (I won!) and then finally to the loss against Austin FC on the weekend. Not to be left out was the announcement that Inter Miami CF have finally signed L...2023-07-171h 10For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCGutierrez and Disappointing Results are Back!S2E35 - For the Glory KC is back with the 42nd episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City drop two points late against the Houston Dynamo, then things get weird with the referee's end of game handling. We mostly focus on the game, but we can't ignore this nonsense from Sebastian Ferreira and Sagafi's mishandling of it. The Kansas City Current's form falters as the injuries keep piling up. They are in a near desperate situation needing around 18 points over the next seven games (which is about 2.57 points per game). B...2023-07-111h 16For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe Curse is Lifted!S2E34 - For the Glory KC is back with the 41st episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City bounce back in a big way with a 3-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. Sheena and I discuss her boy Remi's lovely goal (after an even better assist), MLS referees failing to protect goalkeepers and how steep the climb remains, despite only being one point below the playoff line. Beyond that, plenty of Sporting KC injury updates, locker room insights and takeaways from Jake Reid's town hall with season ticket members. 2023-07-041h 16For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCDid Peter Vermes Mismanage the Last Three Games?S2E33 - For the Glory KC is back with the 40th episode of the show! It's not 50, but that's a milestone. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City have a no good, very bad week. Eight days, three games, but just one (!) point. Instead of talking about all the moments from the game, we take a different approach this week and Sheena and I ask each other questions (including questions we saw from you dear readers/listeners). The Kansas City Current at least gave us some positives for KC soccer this week. It was p...2023-06-271h 01For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCFor The Glory KC After DarkS2E28 - We recorded our latest podcast after the Sporting KC loss in St Louis, but don't worry it's all PG over here. We do use a few inappropriate letters out of anger. For the Glory KC is back with the 35th episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City have another up and down week. LAFC forward Denis Boaunga called them the hardest team they'd faced all year in a 1-1 draw and then they were obliterated in the first game against St. Louis City SC three days later.

On this week's BONUS episode, Sporting Kansas City and the rest of MLS have their salary data released. First, to follow along, I recommend reading the Sporting KC salary release (and the MLS full salary release wouldn't hurt either). Sheena and I go over a bunch of salary related topics, including: Who is the most overpaid Who is the most underpaid The biggest surprises How the Designated Player and U-22 Initiative color some of these numbers Comparisons between 2023...2023-05-1731 minFor the Glory KCFor the Glory KCIs Sporting Kansas City's Season Still SalvageableS2E26 - For the Glory KC is back with the 33rd episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City have an up and down week. They were eliminated from the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup when their backups failed to defeat the Houston Dynamo. But they ended the week strong with their first home win of the season against Minnesota United in a blowout (that felt weird to type). We also talked about the rumor that Alan Pulido could be sold to Chivas (Liga MX) and the article from Sam McDowell i...2023-05-151h 32For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCSporting Kansas City Crowd Turns on VermesS2E24 - For the Glory KC is back with the 31st episode of the show!

It's obviously not our fault, but I love to joke about it to get Sheena fired up.  On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City find a way to lose again, this time at home to the next worst team in the league, CF Montreal.

It gets a bit of an asterisk, but Sporting Kansas City technically won a game (though a league game still alludes them). Is the curse of our podcast (that Sheena says doesn't exist) over? On this week's second episode with talk about the victory of the Tulsa Athletic of the NPSL. We get excited, but only a reasonable amount of excitement considering the level of the opposition.

On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I once again are forced to discuss a Sporting Kansas City loss but this time, we get to talk about a KC Current loss too. We didn't get to watch the games live but luckily (or maybe unluckily) the games weren't spoiled for us during our social media blackout and we suffered through both games on Sunday morning. We give our thoughts, including on this new tac...2023-04-1753 minFor the Glory KCFor the Glory KCWhat is the Root Cause of Sporting KC's Failings?S2E19 - On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I commiserate after the home loss by Sporting Kansas City against the previously bottom of the Western Conference Colorado Rapids. We breakdown a lot of different numbers from the game. But frankly, we get into all the emotional reactions (and have some reactions ourselves) to the abysmal start by Kansas City this season. We have an extensive mailbag, talking about topics such as firing Peter Vermes, firing Jake Reid, firing Brian Bliss, ownerships failings in this and more. Like I said, it's long. Then Sheena closes ou...2023-04-101h 16For the Glory KCFor the Glory KCThe One Where Ben Sweat Gets ReleasedS2E18 - On this week’s second episode, Sheena and I preview this weekend's home game between Sporting Kansas City and the Colorado Rapids (if you preview to read, I wrote a preview too). Both teams enter the match fighting to not be in the lead for the wooden spoon. But before we get to the preview, we have to talk about the big news that Ben Sweat is no longer on the team. We also answer your mailbag questions!

On this week’s first episode (we’ll be back Thursday to preview the weekend’s games), Sheena and I get a little contentious talking through what is going wrong with Sporting Kansas City after their 4-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders. We break down the play on the field, quotes from Peter Vermes and Johnny Russell, along with a little insight from this week’s town hall. Sheena even finds three bright spots (somehow!) from the rough Saturday night.

We have plenty of thoughts on the game, from both an in-person and re-watch perspective. Plus, we preview this Saturday’s showdown with the Seattle Sounders coming to Kansas City. Because we previewed the game off an eight+ hour drive, we left out all the Seattle international absences (whoops!).
