  • A little levity to an overall painful experience

    A great show that is informative and entertaining, which is the exact opposite of the team they cover in SKC. I’m a firm believer that SKC ownership should take Pulido’s pay and split it between the hosts as they do more to support the team. Appreciate all the takes and honesty in the show, keep up the great work.

  • Great Work!

    So this is my second season being a STM and I had gotten another for my dad and me to hang out and watch games together he used to be a BIG liga MX fan back in the day but now he’s starting to come over to the Sporting KC side thankfully and the good thing is we can enjoy the games whether we win or lose but your guys recap and breakdown/point of view are really enjoyable to listen to and make this season a lot more bearable/enjoyable

    Keep up the great work!!

  • Review

    I recently began following soccer this past season and attended the Sporting game against San Jose. It was an exciting win, and since then, I’ve been eager to learn everything I can about the club. So far, I have a perfect 2-0 record for the home games I’ve attended, each resulting in a victory for Sporting. This podcast has been fantastic for keeping up with the team and sharing my newfound passion for soccer. Keep up the great work!

    I’ve since then joined a college rec team and continued my su... more

  • Great Soccer Content - Skip the Political Stuff

    I think they do a great job on soccer analysis and have learned a lot from them. They are critical but not overly so and remain dispassionate when they do criticize. I also like the fact they pose solutions to problems they see with SKC on and off the pitch.

    They definitely have strong opinions on outside issues, abortion for one, that they cover in the podcast. I usually just skip by those but I did downgrade one star because I don’t listen to any sports podcast for opinions on other thin... more

Q: What has coach Kerry meant to you throughout this season, and how has he helped you as you've been thrust into a starting role probably faster than anyone expected?
He's been massive in helping me. He talks to me almost every day, one-on-one. He showed me trust after making mistakes, which has helped my confidence.

Q: What's been the biggest adjustment for you from college soccer to Major League Soccer?
If you get beat, you are going to get punished. In college, you can make a mistake and the opposition might not score, but here, one mistake leads to a goal.
