It’s been two weeks since we’ve last recorded the pod and not much has changed!  Sporting KC have lost 3 more games since that time taking the total to 7 in a row, and are now legitimate Wooden Spoon contenders given their measly 2 wins on the season from 16 games.  You heard that right, after Saturday’s game against Seattle, the season will be half over, and the best case scenario is Sporting will have 3 total wins.  And given their performances to date there isn’t much optimism that it will actually increase to that number, either from the fans or the oddsmakers.

Given the state of the club and the fact that Cody and I have gotten a bit worn out talking about the same old problems every week, I posted to both social media and the H&A Discord asking for questions from you, the listeners(this is your reminder to join the H&A Discord server if you want to interact both with us and listeners of the pod, link is in the show notes).  We will spend much of this week’s pod trying to answer those questions as best we can, and interweaving our thoughts on the current state of the team and how they’ve reached this level of futility while we do.

Finally, the USWNT finally gets a couple matches with Emma Hayes on the sideline and while it’s hard to take a ton from two friendlies, early returns were pretty good.  Venezia makes it back up to Serie A but not without potentially damaging our hopes for seeing Gianluca Busio in Children’s Mercy Park next week with the U23’s, and we do a quick preview of this weekend’s upcoming match vs. Seattle.
