Kansas City Soccer had a Pretty Tough Weekend

  • Resumen

  • For the Glory KC is back with the 130th episode of the show!

    Sporting Kansas City continued their up and down form with a loss to FC Cincinnati after a fun win last weekend against the San Jose Earthquakes. Even though the results didn't go their way, it was a pretty competitive game. Many pundits are picking Cincy to win the Supporters Shield, MLS Cup or both and Sporting KC hung right there with them. If not for a "goal of the year candidate," maybe they earn the result.

    We talk about all the key moments from the Sporting KC game, including Zorhan Bassong's first professional goal, why Jacob Bartlett is taking free kicks, Keven Denkey's ridiculous goals and other random observations.

    Beyond just the game, it was transfer deadline week for the Major League Soccer primary transfer window and Sporting KC were busy. They made a signing and a trade and set themselves up to be active in the summer transfer window (they have to spend the GAM they acquired).

    The signing is 22-year-old Mexican American striker Santiago Munoz (more on him here). His arrival cleared the way for Mike Burns to deal William Agada to Real Salt Lake. Willy isn't the only former SKC player to end up in Salt Lake City this week as Johnny Russell also made the move. We talk about RSL as a rival, worse potential destinations (there is only one) and everything else related to those moves.

    Usually, we count on the KC Current to lift our spirits but somehow nothing went right in KC soccer (including SKC II). The Current were stunned late against the North Carolina Courage, breaking all kinds of streaks.

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

    • SKC II signing and a two-loss week
    • The NWSL is trying to start a new second division

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

    • Sporting KC fall in a close one with Cincy - 4:52
    • A signing, an Agada trade and goodbye Johnny Russell - 28:08
    • KC Current lose a stunner - 52:01
    • Digital Crawl - 1:08:58
