Erik Bergrud from the Kansas City Comets broadcast team and Thad Bell from the Kansas City Soccer Journal recorded the latest episode of The Blue Turf for the 2023-24 season and we are again NOT at the now "World Famous" Kansas City Soccer Dome but we will do ourt best to record there again soon.

A rough week for the Comets with an overtime loss versus the  Chihuahua Savage. Kansas City held them to just two goals in regulation but a quick overtime counter and the Comets only earned a single point at home.

Historically the Comets have not been good in overtime games. Stats provided by the KC Soccer Journal's Mike Kuhn:

Kim Røntved 4-2

Vlatko Andonovski 6-4 (2-3 since 15/16 season started)

Goran Karadjov 0-1

Kim Røntved 0-4 (so 4-6 overall)

Leo Gibson 5-14

Stefan Stokic 0-4

A big topic is the mystery around a couple of missing players from the lineup. Gibson and Sosa were not in the lineup for the last two matches, Eric and Thad discuss what we know and what we know we don't know.
