Own Goals, a Red Card, Handballs and a Bunch of Bad Luck

S2E37 - For the Glory KC is back with the 44th episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City give us all a brief moment of hope before snatching it away from us. Sheena and I discuss the exciting Sporting KC versus FC Cincinnati game. If you were a neutral, perhaps a Liga MX/Chivas fan scouting these teams, would it have been obvious who was by far the best team in the league and who was on the outside of the playoffs looking in? Not for the first 15 minutes I'm sure, but then it got a little squirrely. We talk the Alan Pulido red card, the multitude of handballs and own goals, a little Khiry Shelton of course and what needs to happen next week. Then, a special guest joins me to talk about the KC Current after months of begging to be on the podcast. You tell me how it went as we break down the Houston Dash game before transitioning to talk about new Brazilian center back Lauren joining the team after the 2023 Women's World Cup. Speaking of the World Cup, we work in a little USWNT talk and of course Messi makes an appearance or two.  Here is a quick rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sporting KC take us on a wild ride in Cincy - 3:48 USWNT win their World Cup Opener - 34:20 The KC Current smash the Dash - 42:02 Digital Crawl - 51:56 Upcoming Games USWNT versus Netherlands - Wed, July 26th @ 8pm CST KC Current @ Chicago Red Stars - Sat, July 29th @ 7pm SKC II vs. Colorado Rapids 2 - Sun, July 30th @ 6:00pm (Rock Chalk Park) Sporting KC vs. Chivas - Mon, July 31st @ 9pm USWNT vs. Portugal - Tues, August 1st, 2am (stay up after the SKC game!)
