Listen "They Actually Moved the Messi Game..."
Episode Synopsis
S3E01 - For the Glory KC is back with the 66th episode of the show and the first episode of season three. And waiting an extra day brought a lot of news!
Sporting Kansas City made waves on Monday when they did something that I personally thought was just a fun op-ed I wrote. They moved the Sporting KC versus Inter Miami/Messi game to the Kansas City Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium. Sheena and I discuss the pros, the cons and the massive risks the team is taking. The potential for embarrassment, either by Messi not playing or Sporting KC simply losing, could be disastrous (except for the impact to their wallets).
I'll also go ahead and place this poll here, so we see how it ends. The fanbase looks pretty divided on this one as of publication.
Then we switch gears to a tease by Sporting KC of the return to Argyle Kits. It's not clear if it's for the secondary kit, which gets replaced this year, or the rumored third kits that may be returning. But this has to mean we're getting Argyle Kits, right?
The KC Current don't want to be left out as they made an intriguing signing adding Malawi forward Temwa Chawinga. Plus, the NWSL made some mostly promising rule changes that kick in for 2024 that we go over.
In the Digital Crawl, we touch on the following topics:
Gadi Kinda's farewell and that bizarre signing video
SKC assistant, Ash Wallace, getting an extension
Chardonnay Curran signs with the Chicago Red Stars
Carline Sjoblom rejoins Sweden
NJ/NY Gotham FC sign all the USWNT players
And big MLS moves from the Colorado Rapids and FC Cincinnati
Here is a quick rundown of topics (and approximate start times):
They moved the SKC/Miami game to Arrowhead - 7:03
Argyle Kits?!?! - 37:15
KC Current sign Temwa Chawinga - 42:44
NWSL Rule Changes - 48:53
PRO work stoppage imminent - 53:24
Digital Crawl - 56:44
