Have Sporting KC Solved Their Defensive Woes?

S2E17 - For the Glory KC is back (just like we said we'd be back) with the 24th episode of the show. On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I breakdown the weekend games, including Sporting Kansas City travelling to the Philadelphia Union, the KC Current's home opener against the Portland Thorns and even a little Sporting KC II action as they hosted Austin FC II. Sporting KC made a lot of changes to their lineup, so we talk about what we liked and what we didn't. Sheena and I sat with the Blue Crew for the home opener, so we give a unique perspective on that game (well, I'm not sure how unique since it was as full as I've ever seen it for a Current game). We also delve into the KC Current's controversy around the handling of draft pick Mykiaa Minniss (here is a link to a story summing up that situation in The Athletic). Here is a quick rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sporting KC vs. Philly Draw - 2:03 KC Current lose their home opener - 27:51 Sporting KC II win (sort of) - 38:42 Mykiaa Minniss controversy - 42:45 Digital Crawl (y'all) - 48:07
