Episode 21 - Pragmatism: Does it exist?

from Home and Away - A Sporting KC Podcast · host Drew VanderPloeg and Cody Welton

We're back!  Under less than auspicious circumstances.  We discuss the latest SKC debacle against New England(it's not all bad, except for the usual suspects), and whether The System(trademark) needs a tweak, not just for the short term, but perhaps the long term, given current roster construction and the available traits of players.  There is reason for frustration, but also some positivity as the team appears to be bringing in new attacking talent which will allow midfielders to play at places other than fullback, winger, and striker. We also dive into the current state of the USMNT, and our thoughts on how Berhalter is doing setting the team up for the World Cup.   Music by The Spin Wires.
