Description

This week Drew is joined by Daniel Sperry of the Kansas City star to break down all things Sporting KC this week. Cody unfortunately had some life requirements get in the way of recording this week but should be back next week as usual.

Sporting KC struggled to make a substantive imprint on the match in Vancouver, as we had unfortunately predicted might happen last week. Kerry Zavagnin did make substantive tactical changes at halftime that did appear to make a positive impact on the game, but it left us wondering why these choices aren't made to start games rather than in the middle of them. There is a concern that there are two Kerry's, one who puts the tactical plan together and is fairly risk averse a la his mentor Peter Vermes, and the pragmatist game manager that makes the right changes to improve his team's prospects in games that is very different from his predecessor.

We also talk about a lot of MLS Hot Stove topics(that unfortunately do not include Sporting KC yet), as well as the return of NWSL regular season play for the KC Current this weekend.
