We are back from our almost month-long hiatus and Drew has returned rom New Zealand and Australia to find that not much has changed regarding the prospects of Sporting KC. We discuss the situation and the rather concerning lack of opportunity to do much about it.

The USWNT has similar issues regarding an idealogue of a coach with very specific personnel choices that do not seem to allow the team to play even up to the sum of its parts and it played out in this year's world cup.

Leagues Cup has been a revelation, providing the kind of drama and intrigue we candidly did not expect from the competition.

We also spend a little time delving into the European transfer market, including lots of USMNT players making moves this summer.
