1 Sporting Way

After Riley got a little defensive last week about his favorite mascot, it's Dave's turn this week as controversy erupts over Sporting Kansas City's official color scheme. We celebrate a nerve-wracking win over Seattle that included a sneaky milestone for Johnny Russell, and reminisce about Carli Lloyd's second-to-last game in the Red, White, and Blue.

Playoffs are getting closer and closer, and Sporting KC is about to enter the homestretch of the regular MLS season. But never fear! Our mascot Blue is here to lead us all the way! With a few upcoming games this week, Remi, Riley, and Dave make some (totally off) predictions, get nerdy with numbers, share SKC and USMNT news, and answer questions from our amazing listeners. Cheers!

What were we drinking?

Dave: KC Bier Co. Dunkel

Remi: Agua

Riley: Coors Lite

This is our busiest week yet! We have three games on the docket after SKC followed up a disappointing loss to Seattle with two convincing Western Conference wins against Dallas and Houston. We dig into all the highs and lows, including Peter Vermes' odd substitution strategy, Johnny Russell's leadership, and Gianluca Busio's first goal for Venezia.

Also, did you know Sporting KC had a mascot? Or that Riley enjoys Winnie-the-Pooh fractals? Us neither.

Send us your questions and comments! We'll be reading several listener messages in our next episode October 17th after the international break.

What were we drinking? Blue Moon Mango Wheat. Yes, all three of us.

For two straight weeks, all three of us are back in action! With no Sporting KC games to report on this time, the pod squad dives into some fan questions and reminisces on the glory days of youth soccer, adult rec leagues and some of our favorite things. Lots of laughs guaranteed.

We also touch on recent soccer news around the country including a KC WOSO exciting announcement and long-time Sporting player Seth Sinovic's retirement.

What were we drinking?

Dave: KC Bier Co. Dunkel

Remi: Martin City Extra American Pale Ale

Riley: Blue Moon Mango Wheat

The whole team is back to talk about an amazing 4-0 win over Minnesota United! But don't worry, the team still got into plenty of random topics from Dave admitting something good about Minnesota, how we would spend the Busio money, and Remi's search for her next mango beer!

This week Dave and Riley attempt to hold down the fort after Remi's computer decided to jump off a cliff and explode. Without Remi the boys not only talk about the 4-0 loss to LAFC and the 2-0 win against Chicago, but also jump down every rabbit hole possible. These include the benefits of relegation, dislike of certain teams, tattoos, and our love/hate relationship with the USMNT.

Riley and Dave are on their own this week, but they have plenty of Sporting action to discuss! Dániel Sallói's MVP campaign gained steam this week after he rescued a point against Portland with a stoppage time strike. We also debate whether Rémi Walter really deserved his first career red card and marvel at yet another week of Tim Melia's heroics. Join us as we discuss all the latest plus Venezia FC's unorthodox transfer strategies, the importance of drawstrings, and Riley's new status as family soccer expert.

This week we break down and then try to forget the 1-6 loss to Leon followed by a beautiful 2-0 win over FC Dallas. In the process we learn a new term of the week, drink delicious beer, and find out that Dave had a crazy "adventure" with some wasps.

What were we drinking this week?

Riley: Wicked Weed Brewing Co Watermelon Dragonfruit Burst

Remi: Boulevard Easy Sport

Dave: KC Bier Co Hefeweizen 

This week Sporting KC picked up four points from two tough road games. Join us as we bask in the 4-1 win over LAFC that saw Peter Vermes earn his 200th win as manager, and discuss how in the world Tim Melia isn't an all-star after another standout performance in the 0-0 draw against Colorado. With Busio officially gone it's time to welcome new signing Jose Mauri, but more importantly what is Riley planning on doing with his crowdsourced transfer fee now that Venezia out bid him?
