Ted Lasso, Sporting KC Rumors and a KC Current Draw

For the Glory KC is back with the 190th episode of the show!Ted Lasso's "love letter to Kansas City" leads the podcast this week. The first episode of season four was filled with KC easter eggs and has a lot of the world talking about Kansas City. We talked about what we loved and what it could mean for the world's understanding of KC.Sporting Kansas City had the week off, but there is plenty swirling around the team still. Mo Salah officially spurned Sporting KC in favor of signing in Turkiye. Andre Luiz didn't sign with SKC this week, at least not officially. But there are more clues that move is on the horizon. And Manu Garcia posted to Instagram in a way that was misinterpreted by some as a goodbye. Luckily Manu cleared it up for us.The KC Current hit the road and earned a draw that felt like a loss after they led for a great deal of their game against the Houston Dash. It felt like a tactical failure of Chris Armas and his coaching staff to go into a shell for the entire second half. A semi-controversial penalty call on Elizabeth Ball let Houston tie it up and that's how it ended, 1-1.In happier news, Debinha broke the all-time NWSL goal scoring record. Croix Bethune was honored on the NWSL team of the month and there were several positive injury updates for the depleted Current. Plus, Malawi and Temwa Chawinga are on the verge of history.In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:All that FIFA dramaRacing Louisville could be relocatedNew MLS Commissioner and his inherited projectsHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Ted Lasso - 3:31Sporting KC - 16:04KC Current - 35:48Digital Crawl - 51:41Upcoming GamesSKC II @ Austin FC II, SUN, Aug 9th at 7:30PM CSTKC Current @ Gotham, FRI, Aug 14th at 7:00PMSKC II vs. Rapids 2, SAT, Aug 15th at 7:00PMSporting KC @ Colorado Rapids, SAT, Aug 15th at 8:30PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.
