Show Notes

Soccer training is on its final days and Kansas City once again will have two teams in action. Sporting Kansas City is on a mission to repeat as MLS Western Conference champs. KC NWSL is the women’s team that returns to the region. The team formerly known as FCKC left Kansas City in 2017.

The women will open next week. The men’s first game is April 17, and beat writer Shaun Goodwin is back to discuss all things soccer. There is also a rant about the United States’ failure to qualify for the Olympic Games. Sporting Coach Peter Vermes gets in on that.
