Covering Sporting Kansas City, the KC Current and SKC II for @kcsoccerjournal.bsky.social, Co-host of @fortheglorykc.bsky.social Opinions my own!
Zorhan Bassong quizzing the new guys (Karic and Blorian) on what state they are in and the obligatory BBQ question. #SportingKC
Former #Switzerland international and #SportingKC head coach, Rapha Wicky, on the Swiss World Cup performance.
Zorhan Bassong asking Dejan Joveljic who is favorite teammate is... 🤣 #SportingKC
Lee on the World Cup impact on signing players: "It definitely has put Kansas City further into the eyes of the soccer world." #SportingKC
David Lee believes #SportingKC have improved quite a bit since the winter transfer window, but "there is still an awful long way to go."
David Lee on Mo Salah (and really any of the high value rumors: Andre Luiz, Yann Gboho, etc.) #SportingKC
The cast of Ted Lasso taking in the #FIFAWorldCup quarterfinal between Argentina and Switzerland!
The Kansas Astra's are moving closer to home. And it's on the Missouri side. THE ASTRAS indoor women's soccer team will play their home games in St. Joseph! #MASLW
Razor close offside decision against Debinha takes the Hopkins goal away. If this is the only angle then you can't change it. It's all they showed, but there has to be another, right? #KCBaby
Debinha and White for Cooper (injured) and Temwa (bench). Rocky for Feist. Vanessa DiBernardo is on the bench as she returns from maternity leave. #KCBaby
I love a good stadium rendering. The proposed KC Current expansion, including a parking garage and 18,000 seats (instead of 11,500). #KCBaby Photo Credit: KC Current & Gensler
Manu Garcia talking about the #WorldCup in Kansas City and experiencing the Argentina game. Plus the difference between that and a #Chiefs game. You could see him trying hard to call it "soccer" to avoid confusion. #SportingKC
Rapha Wicky on new signing, CB, Or Blorian integrating with #SportingKC.
Look how happy Rapha Wicky looked at yesterday's media scrum. That's the smile of a man getting new players, right? #SportingKC
An historic Day for the English national team. Getting to step on the pitch and test themselves against the Sporting KC squad is an experience they won't soon forget. 🏰 ⚽ #SportingKC #England
FIFA: "The host nation's opening victory over Paraguay attracted an average audience of 27.5 million viewers across FOX and Telemundo, making it the most-watched FIFA World Cup™ match ever broadcast in the United States." #WorldCup
Nate joined us this week on @fortheglorykc.bsky.social to promote his new book, "Perfect Pitch." On his journey to where he is today. Pick up his book today!
It's wild KC/Arrowhead loses about 7,500 seats from renovations (~3400) and media/broadcast setup (another 4,000ish). The media part blows my mind! #WorldCup
Had to bring protection out for the refs. The same crew handled the prior game and they let it be really rough. Even with all the cards, they struggled to control the game. Brazil should be embarrassed about how they behaved. #USWNT win 1-0 in a "friendly."
Kansas City Power and Light's "Soccer in the City" announced a free scarf giveaway for 6 dates while supplies last at their watch parties: June 11, 12, 18, 19, 24 and 25 #WorldCup
