For the Glory KC

In Depth on the KC Current and One Existential SKC Question


Listen Later

For the Glory KC is back with the 137th episode of the show!

The KC Current lead off the show today with Sporting KC taking the weekend off. They played their last NWSL game until August 1st when they welcomed Angel City FC to town this past Friday night. While it was a closely contested match-up, the depleted Kansas City squad was able to put together their sixth consecutive win and stretch their lead in the standings to eight points as of this writing.

Angel City, despite being far down the table, were competitive and kept the match close. If not for penalty kick saving heroics by Lorena and possibly a Sarah Gordon cramp, the game may have had a different outcome. We got into all kinds of topics from the game.

In addition to game action, we got an update on what the Current will be doing on their upcoming break (outside of the Teal Rising Cup) and covered all their international call-ups for the upcoming international break, including Izzy Rodriguez's first call by the full USWNT.

Sporting Kansas City didn't play this weekend, so we just ask one question about them. What is your hope for the rest of their season? Sheena and I gave somewhat different answers and got into a debate about the quality of the roster. In particular around Daniel Salloi and Shapi Suleymanov. We both agreed they need to make moves and the secondary transfer window opens July 24th.

In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:

  • Benny Feilhaber wins!
  • USMNT advance in the Gold Cup
  • World Cup Qualifying

Here is a rundown of topics and start times:

  • KC Current keep winning - 9:40
  • One existential Sporting KC question - 51:17
  • Digital Crawl - 1:04:33
