S2E46 - 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 players, but maybe he was talking about him and his staff's inability to adjust to the changing state of the game.

It also wouldn't be a podcast hosted by me if I didn't sneak in a little referee complaining. Jake Davis got crushed by Sam Adeniran and headbutted a bit after that. Obviously, Sporting KC have to win the game they are playing in, but of course these calls could change the game.

Our conversation naturally evolved into a discussion on if Peter Vermes should be fired or not and Sheena thinks he needs to be more emotional. I said, if he's too emotional, he gets yellows (you see what I did there). If he comes out ranting and raving, fans won't be happy with that either. Winning fixes everything and KC forgot to win this weekend.

And because our analysis went so long on the SKC/STL game, we keep the rest of the podcast brief (which is ironic to say on an episode this long). We dive into the following topics:

Here is a quick rundown of topics (and approximate start times):
