We have missed having David Greenwald on the pod as he worked tirelessly on a side project but were overjoyed to have him back on this episode: interesting insight and a fun friend to argue, err... debate with.

The downside was we were missing the normal host Cody Bradley. Technical difficulties was his excuse but maybe he was just watching the Olympics.

We made the best of it and talked lots of soccer and some Olympics in general.

In the first segment, we discuss Sporting KC getting bounced out in the first knockout match of the Leagues Cup. In the second segment we discuss the new payer being signed by Sporting KC. Other topics sprinkled throughout the episode include how SKC manages their roster (quality, selling), the US Women's National Team success in France, the Current, and what is or is not a sport vs a competition.
