For the Glory KC - A Sporting KC Podcast

S2E52 - For the Glory KC is back with the 59th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City don't play any games, but there is still plenty to discuss. While we're calling it the "Logan Ndenbe Appreciation Hour," we don't do an hour on Logan, but we have to discuss his torn ACL, how he's a " dawg ," and who is next up to replace him sinc...

S2E51 - For the Glory KC is back with the 58th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City send St. Louis packing from the playoffs as the eight seed upsets the one seed. Sheena and I have instant reactions from the night of the victory instead of going to bed. We break down the goals ( highlights here ) and all the big events from the game. It was another incredible atmo...

S2E50 - For the Glory KC is back with the 57th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City continue to blow minds, this time both San Jose and St. Louis fans learned the meaning of disappointment. Sheena and I breeze by that San Jose Earthquakes game to focus on the main event -- a potential three-game series against St. Louis City SC. Sporting KC landed the first blow wi...

S2E49 - I said it eight months ago . Sporting KC waited until the last minute to prove me right, but 'everyone' gets in. It was quite a feat as no team that was winless through 10-games has ever done it before. For the Glory KC is back with the 56th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City do what seemed impossible at points during the season . They finished th...

S2E48 - For the Glory KC is back with the 55th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City don't play a game, so instead we take the opportunity to look at their roster and play Fantasy Sporting Director. Imagine if Sporting KC's ownership put us in charge of roster decisions. We decided who to re-sign, who to cut and who's option(s) to decline. Additionally,...

S2E47 - For the Glory KC is back with the 54th episode of the show and it's winning all around! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City get a favor from their long-time rivals Real Salt Lake with a 0:37 red card. Despite a 3-0 lead, it was a little bit of 'hold on to your butts' in the final minutes as RSL clawed back against Sporting KC. Sheena and I break down all the action...

S2E46 - For the Glory KC is back with the 53rd episode of the show... and it's a sad week in KC soccer. So. Much. Losing. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City lose the season series to St. Louis City SC. And it got ugly . We break down all four goals and what went wrong, ask some questions of the tactics on the day and more widely on the decision making of the club. After the game,...

S2E45 - For the Glory KC is back with the 52nd episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City play twice and get two wildly different results. We spend way more time on the happier of the two results as Sporting KC stole all three points off the Houston Dynamo despite playing down a man. We give our thoughts and observations on the squad rotation, Johnny Russell's red ca...

S2E44 - For the Glory KC is back with the 51st episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City absolutely pull a smash and grab on Minnesota United and stole all three points on the road (just their second road win of the season). Sheena and I give our thoughts on the game with some behind the scenes press conference items snuck in. We also had to talk about if Andreu Fontas...

S2E43 - For the Glory KC is back with the 50th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City come back down to earth. After two straight wins at home, they hit the road against a depleted Inter Miami team and slip up dropping all three points . We talk through the key moments, the " controversial " game winning goal and a whole lot more. We also take some of your...

S2E42 - For the Glory KC is back with the 49th episode of the show! I have never once cared about this silly Soccer Capital nonsense, but because it eats at St. Louis, much like  Sporting Kansas City , I'm going to lean in hard when these games are played each time. We talk about Round Two in this budding rivalry, and Sporting KC's big win . The atmosphere was amazing (full credit to the r...

S2E41 - For the Glory KC is back with the 48th episode of the show! (Creeping towards 50, should we do something special?) Sporting Kansas City are back in action after a long break and things (mostly) went very well in a 3-0 win over then fifth place San Jose, minus a potential injury picked up by Johnny Russell (two updates on him, one early, one in the Digital Crawl). This week's podcast wa...

S2E40 - For the Glory KC is back with the 47th episode of the show! (Creeping towards 50, should we do something special?) On this week's episode, the KC Current headline with SKC taking yet another week off (against their will after being eliminated from the Leagues Cup). Sheena and I discuss the big win from Kansas City against the OL Reign at Children's Mercy Park. Including some behind...

S2E39 - For the Glory KC is back with the 46th episode of the show and, finally, Sheena has returned to the podcast! We were overseas for two weeks and decided against another weird, "Chad only" episode and just delayed until we could both record. On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City get crushed and bounced out of the Leagues Cup by Toluca. We don't spend a ton of time o...

S2E38 - For the Glory KC is back with the 45th episode of the show and it's a weird one. No co-host, just me talking to myself. If that sounds like something you'd like to listen to, give it a go. On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City beat the best team in Mexico in the Leagues Cup (and were a 96th minute handball away from beating the best team in MLS). That said, how much of...

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 lea...

S2E36 - For the Glory KC is back with the 43rd episode of the show. On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City continue their bad run of form for their three games in eight days when they managed only two points over three games. Sheena and I head through the week chronologically working through the Sporting KC/Real Salt Lake game , the halftime media game ( I won! ) and then finally to the...

S2E35 - For the Glory KC is back with the 42nd episode of the show. On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City drop two points late against the Houston Dynamo , then things get weird with the referee's end of game handling. We mostly focus on the game, but we can't ignore this nonsense from Sebastian Ferreira and Sagafi's mishandling of it. The Kansas City Current 's form fa...

S2E34 - For the Glory KC is back with the 41st episode of the show! On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City bounce back in a big way with a 3-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. Sheena and I discuss her boy Remi's lovely goal (after an even better assist), MLS referees failing to protect goalkeepers and how steep the climb remains, despite only being one point below the playoff line....

S2E33 - For the Glory KC is back with the 40th episode of the show! It's not 50, but that's a milestone. On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City have a no good, very bad week. Eight days, three games, but just one (!) point. Instead of talking about all the moments from the game, we take a different approach this week and Sheena and I ask each other questions (including questions...

S2E32 - For the Glory KC is back with the 39th episode of the show! On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City let a golden opportunity slip through their fingers to beat a depleted Los Angeles FC team at Children's Mercy Park. There is plenty of blame to go around, between the referees, Khiry Shelton, missed chances and ultimately Peter Vermes. Not sticking just to Kansas City soccer,...

S2E31 - For the Glory KC is back with the 38th episode of the show! On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City pound out another victory, this time over Austin FC by the tune of 4-1 . We talk about our favorite moments from the match, some locker room exclusives and post-match presser gems from Peter Vermes and others. We didn't get deep into the recent Sporting KC trade, though I wante...

S2E30 - For the Glory KC is back with the 37th episode of the show (and 30th of 2023)! On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City play twice in four days. They get the job done against FC Dallas but give up a late goal against the Vancouver Whitecaps. We point out some moments from both games that stood out to us, as well as some inside information from talking to Peter Vermes and some insi...

S2E29 - For the Glory KC is back with the 36th episode of the show! On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City demolish the Portland Timbers , so we celebrate and break down our favorite moments from the match . We talk about all four beautiful goals (the type of goals this team should have been scoring all year), Sporting KC's inability to defend the long throw, the rough schedule comi...

S2E28 - We recorded our latest podcast after the Sporting KC loss in St Louis, but don't worry it's all PG over here. We do use a few inappropriate letters out of anger. For the Glory KC is back with the 35th episode of the show. On this week's episode,  Sporting Kansas City have another up and down week. LAFC forward Denis Boaunga called them the hardest team they'd faced all year...
