    Episode 198 - The Wyatt Meyer Effect, SKC look organized(for once) and the USMNT youth movement (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    The Wyatt Meyer Effect was in full display in Sporting Park on Saturday night as the good guys in blue fairly comprehensively beat LAFC 3-1 in a scoreline that honestly felt deserved as the final whistle blew. Just 7 days after I said that I thought the match in Dallas was the best team performance they’d put in all year, Sporting KC one upped themselves and took it to another level. There were several performances on the field that stood out, and were likely the best performances we had seen fr

    Read excerpt

    Remember just a couple weeks ago, when the Transfer Window was still open, SKC had all of this “flexibility”, and promise of the ability to spend big on designated player transfers? We had our whole lives ahead of us, and apparently still do, because the flexibility still exists, except we can’t use it for 4 months. David Lee met with the meda a little less than 24 hours after we recorded the pod last week and if you took a drink every time he mentioned GAM you’d have had alcohol poisoning withi

    Read excerpt

    Deadline day is upon us! There were less than 6 hours left in the MLS transfer window when we recorded the pod and it was meant to be a celebration of the next era of Sporting Kansas City. Unfortunately, the team largely looks the same it did last week when we recorded. Now - there are reasons that attempted transfers can go awry and it is not uncommon for that to happen, especially in the price range that Sporting KC is reportedly shopping in. But it’s the lack of a plan B that is somewhat conc

    We started this podcast last week espousing how crazy the last several hours had been for this fanbase, and it has not slowed down one bit. One thing you can be sure of, there are no more bored gifs in the discord being posted lamenting SKC’s lack of action. Now, that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been action that led to a “not like this” response, but David Lee and Co have been active, and continue to be as the clock ticks down on this summer transfer window. Andre Luiz arrived on Sunday, visa in h

    Read excerpt

    Whoo boy have Sporting KC fans been through it over the last 72 hours. Going through a depressing 2-0 loss in Colorado on Saturday which did not include Manu Garcia in the proceedings, to hearing the coach make nebulous post game statements about his future with the club, to finding out Monday evening at 8pm that he not only was leaving, but that his contract was being terminated and bought out. Good news though, Andre Luiz was finally announced as an official signing 12 hours later! To say that
