S3E28 - For the Glory KC is back with the 93rd episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City played a lot of games since we last recorded a podcast. Five to be exact. And we just took off one week for our Canadian vacation! Sheena and I discuss our trip to the great white north, Banff, Vancouver, Albert, British Columbia and more.
Then we get down to the soccer, starting with that 1-1 draw against rivals St. Louis City SC. To lead off...
S3E27 - For the Glory KC is back with the 92nd episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City had a busy week both on and off the field. Primarily, this week's episode is focused on the off the field matters due to recording schedules. We're heading out of the country early in the week and may be taking a brief hiatus from podcasting, so be sure to subscribe to the podcast to catch when the next episode comes out.
S3E26 - For the Glory KC is back with the 91st episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City got themselves back in the win column this week for just the fourth time this season. On Saturday night, they shut out Austin FC 2-0, just their second shutout in 21 tries this season. The victory was picked up by quality finishing and even better defense.
It also feels like someone over at Sporting KC in the technical staff may be listening to...
S3E25 - For the Glory KC is back with the 90th episode of the show! Things get weird as we recorded waaay after dark.
Sporting Kansas City had another rough week. So much, that my co-host preferred we "just get it over with" on Saturday night versus waiting to do a podcast on Sunday. Despite that, we have a lot of thoughts about the losses to Real Salt Lake and the Columbus Crew. I'd like to think it was more about th...
S3E24 - For the Glory KC is back with the 89th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City have returned to their losing ways, unfortunately. After a hopeful win at home against the Seattle Sounders, they dropped a result to the LA Galaxy 4-2 in California. There were some interesting lineup choices, lots of standing around on the first goal and lots of things to talk about that are pretty negative from the game.
However, was there s...
S3E23 - For the Glory KC is back with the 88th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City ended the streak! For the second straight season (let's not make it three, please) Sporting KC ended a 10-game winless run with a victory over the Seattle Sounders. This time, it was seven straight losses, so a win was a massive relief.
The question is, can Sporting KC sustain this success? They got the game winning goal against a 10-man S...
S3E22 - For the Glory KC is back with the 87th episode of the show! And it's a controversial one.
Here is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times):
- Media Game - 3:46
- Sporting KC Lose Two More Games - 10:54
- Is it Time for Peter Vermes to Go? - 41:25
- Digital Crawl - 1:35:25
We recently turned on "Listener Support." Don't feel obligated, but if you have a few spare bucks and are a fan of the...
S3E21 - For the Glory KC is back with the 86th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City have extended their losing streak to five games. But before we get to the bad results, they did have a good result this week. They did what a Major League Soccer team should have done and downed FC Tulsa, a second division foe, 4-0 in the US Open Cup. That sets Sporting KC up to play FC Dallas in the quarterfinal where they only need three mor...
S3E20 - For the Glory KC is back with the 85th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City keep disappointing us. This time, it was a 3-2 loss on the road against Austin FC. Peter Vermes made a big deal about "effort" and "mentality" after last week's loss against the Houston Dynamo, but the changes to the lineup were minimal.
Sheena and I discuss what we thought was going to happen versus what happened and ho...
S3E19 - For the Glory KC is back with the 84th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City just keep tumbling. They are down to 12th place in the Western Conference, just a single point ahead of 13th and 14th placed San Jose Earthquakes and the Portland Timbers. They got there with a 2-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night.
Sheena and I set out to try and figure out what is wrong. I have a theory that they actually need to g...
S3E18 - For the Glory KC is back with the 83rd episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City are now winless in five straight. Heading into the Real Salt Lake game, it never really felt like they were going to win, but they kept it close for a long time. There were six changes to the lineup, as well as four subs used. The offense wasn't clicking but John Pulskamp nearly came through with some hero ball.
Sheena and I weigh in on th...
S3E17 - For the Glory KC is back with the 82nd episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City are officially 10 games into their 2024 season and it's a benchmark that Peter Vermes likes to focus on. The team is 2-3-5 (11 points) and sitting in 10th place. It's better than last season, but that's an incredibly low bar to clear.
We asked Peter Vermes how he felt about where the team was, and his answers left something to be de...
S3E16 - For the Glory KC is back with the 81st episode of the show! Sort of...
[This is a weird request, but if this is the first time you've ever listened to the podcast, don't. There are some audio issues, and I wouldn't want to leave you with a bad impression. Sheena and I's audio tracks are out of sync and I'm responding to things she said, but she hasn't said them yet because of a delay. We recorded on ...
S3E15 - For the Glory KC is back with the 80th episode of the show!
I'm not sure if you heard, but Sporting Kansas City were out here setting records last night. 72,610 fans were in attendance inside Arrowhead stadium to witness Sporting KC take on Lionel Messi and friends on Inter Miami CF. The end result was a loss, but were there 'wins' to be had?
On this week's episode, Sheena talks about her experience in the s...
S3E14 - For the Glory KC is back with the 79th episode of the show!
Sheena and her casual takes are back! Two weeks of no regular co-host was weird. So, let's get weird in a different way with a late-night podcast recording session.
We start the show with Sporting Kansas City who have found a way to drop nine points in just seven games from a winning position. It's definitely better than how 2023 started, but it feels like ...
S3E13 - For the Glory KC is back with the 78th episode of the show!
This week, we have a very special episode with not one, not two, but three hosts! I'm joined by some familiar names to those of you that read the KC Soccer Journal. Juan Cisneros and Xander Kennedy make their For the Glory KC debuts! Don't worry, Sheena will be back, but we just closed out an eight-day road trip with a seven-and-a-half-hour drive and only o...
S3E12 - For the Glory KC is back with the 77th episode of the show!
We start this week with Sporting Kansas City and their utter collapse against the LA Galaxy. Sadly, it was a game they utterly dominated if not for the eight minutes of terror. You simply cannot give up three goals in eight minutes and expect to win. You also can't go up 2-0 and lose games.
I do a deliriously short podcast in the middle of the night after the u...
S3E11 - For the Glory KC is back with the 76th episode of the show!
This week, there is no place to start but with the KC Current and their historic opening of CPKC Stadium. 11,500 showed up for the sellout in an all too thrilling win over the Portland Thorns. The final score of 5-4 almost ruined an otherwise perfect opening day (well, that an Debinha getting injured). But they got the win!
S3E10 - For the Glory KC is back with the 75th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City are still undefeated, but three straight draws aren't exactly what most were hoping for to start the season. But hey, at least they didn't lose!
Sheena and I break down the game and get into all sorts of details. We start on a new starting XI that was forced because Remi Walter was out dealing with his ankle injury he picked up against ...
S3E09 - For the Glory KC is back with the 74th episode of the show!
Sporting Kansas City played their home opener, and it went really well... for 94 minutes. We break down the end of the game, rate the replacement refs and make numerous other observations about the game. Peter Vermes was not very happy, but he didn't blame the replacement refs. Though he did get very fired up in the post-game press conference.
Before we get to ...
