S2E24 - For the Glory KC is back with the 31st episode of the show! Still with ZERO Sporting KC wins in regular season play since this podcast has existed. It's obviously not our fault, but I love to joke about it to get Sheena fired up. 

On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City find a way to lose again, this time at home to the next worst team in the league, CF Montreal. Sheena and discuss the game, of course, but also the multiple chants that broke out in The Cauldron, including "Vermes Out" and "Hey, Peter, it's all your fault."

Despite the loss, it's still not the worst start in MLS history. A distinction that seems to belong to the Colorado Rapids in 2019 who had just two points through 11 games. But SKC's schedule is only getting harder, so just give it time.

Thankfully, it's not all downer news as I get the chance to discuss the Kansas City Current and their big win over NJ/NY Gotham FC in a relatively dominant performance. Plus, Sporting KC II gets some love on this week's episode, even if the results didn't go their way.

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

S2E23 - For the Glory KC is back with the 30th episode of the show! It gets a bit of an asterisk, but Sporting Kansas City technically won a game (though a league game still alludes them). Is the curse of our podcast (that Sheena says doesn't exist) over?

On this week's second episode with talk about the victory of the Tulsa Athletic of the NPSL. We get excited, but only a reasonable amount of excitement considering the level of the opposition. We also do rapid fire previews of SKC hosting CF Montreal and the KC Current hosting NJ/NY Gotham.

The biggest chunk of the episode is spent on user mailbag questions. Including questions about an SKC II breakout star, Ethan Bryant, the Stephen Afrifa signing, more on Dom Dwyer, the lack of accountability from Sporting Kansas City and more.

S2E22 - For the Glory KC is back with the 29th episode of the show! There has been more winning in KC soccer, but it's exactly who you'd expect to win (aka, not Sporting).

On this week's episode, we start with discussing the 2-1 loss by Sporting Kansas City to the New England Revolution on the road. We break down some of the changes that were made from the game, and how Sporting KC just keep finding new ways to lose (seriously, two failed throw ins?!?!) each week.

Then we transition to bad news on Willy Agada and news on his possible replacement. We break down our thoughts on Dom Dwyer being in trial and what other directions SKC could go with the roster spot.

Finally, we get to some better news (mixed with some awkward news) about the Kansas City Current. They beat the Orlando Pride, but they somewhat mishandled the firing of head coach Matt Potter.

Plus, we preview SKC versus Tulsa Athletic in the third round of the US Open Cup.

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

S2E21 - For the Glory KC is back with the 28th episode of the show! Finally, a Kansas City soccer team has won while this podcast existed! Congrats to the KC Current.

On this week's episode, we do a little time travel and record over two days with these midweek games messing with our regular schedule (who are we kidding, we love more soccer). The first chunk is about Sporting KC and was recorded on Tuesday night. We preview the matchup with the New England Revolution (if you prefer to read your previews, I've got you covered there too). Plus, we talk Ben Sweat signing with the Revs. Then, since we forgot to ask you all mailbag questions, we ask each other questions!

Then we transition to the shocking news of the week and discuss the firing of Kansas City Current head coach Matt Potter after an 0-3-0 start to the season. Is there more to the firing? Then we talk about the win over the Houston Dash by the Current and give the world's quickest preview to the Orlando Pride game on Sunday.

S2E20 - For the Glory KC is back (though it is getting harder each episode) with the 27th episode of the show.

On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I once again are forced to discuss a Sporting Kansas City loss but this time, we get to talk about a KC Current loss too. We didn't get to watch the games live but luckily (or maybe unluckily) the games weren't spoiled for us during our social media blackout and we suffered through both games on Sunday morning. We give our thoughts, including on this new tactical wrinkle that saw Erik Thommy lineup on the right of the midfield (though he didn't stay there consistently) instead of the left (https://twitter.com/PlayFor90/status/1647695705056616452).

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

S2E19 - On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I commiserate after the home loss by Sporting Kansas City against the previously bottom of the Western Conference Colorado Rapids.

We breakdown a lot of different numbers from the game. But frankly, we get into all the emotional reactions (and have some reactions ourselves) to the abysmal start by Kansas City this season. We have an extensive mailbag, talking about topics such as firing Peter Vermes, firing Jake Reid, firing Brian Bliss, ownerships failings in this and more. Like I said, it's long. Then Sheena closes out the pre-Digital Crawl portion of the show with a bit of a rant.

S2E18 - On this week’s second episode, Sheena and I preview this weekend's home game between Sporting Kansas City and the Colorado Rapids (if you preview to read, I wrote a preview too). Both teams enter the match fighting to not be in the lead for the wooden spoon. But before we get to the preview, we have to talk about the big news that Ben Sweat is no longer on the team. We also answer your mailbag questions!

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

S2E17 - For the Glory KC is back (just like we said we'd be back) with the 24th episode of the show.

On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I breakdown the weekend games, including Sporting Kansas City travelling to the Philadelphia Union, the KC Current's home opener against the Portland Thorns and even a little Sporting KC II action as they hosted Austin FC II.

Sporting KC made a lot of changes to their lineup, so we talk about what we liked and what we didn't. Sheena and I sat with the Blue Crew for the home opener, so we give a unique perspective on that game (well, I'm not sure how unique since it was as full as I've ever seen it for a Current game).

We also delve into the KC Current's controversy around the handling of draft pick Mykiaa Minniss (here is a link to a story summing up that situation in The Athletic).

S2E16 - For the Glory KC is back (just like we said we'd be back) with the 23rd episode of the show.

On this week’s second episode, Sheena and I can't quite let go of that Sporting Kansas City versus Seattle Sounders game, but we do move on and preview this Saturday's match against the Philadelphia Union. We break down some stats from Philly, including their incredible home run that just came to an end against Orlando City SC last weekend. We also answer some listener questions centered around SKC.

Plus, we dive into a preview of the home opener for the Kansas City Current who will take on the Portland Thorns in a rematch from the 2022 NWSL Cup Final. Not to be left out Sporting KC II played their home opener, and the Kansas City Comets made the playoffs!

If you make it all the way to the end, Sheena has a nice 'fumble' for you that had us laughing pretty hard. Oh Sheena...

S2E15 - Ben Sweat can no longer make us Sweat with his sketchy defensive skills.

On this week’s first episode (we’ll be back Thursday to preview the weekend’s games), Sheena and I get a little contentious talking through what is going wrong with Sporting Kansas City after their 4-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders. We break down the play on the field, quotes from Peter Vermes and Johnny Russell, along with a little insight from this week’s town hall. Sheena even finds three bright spots (somehow!) from the rough Saturday night.

Not to be left out, we discuss the 1-0 loss by the Kansas City Current against the North Carolina Courage as well as a couple stories surrounding the USMNT in the Digital Crawl.

We got a little feisty about the SKC game and went longer than we wanted to. We’ll figure out this “keeping it under 40-minutes” thing eventually.
