For the Glory KC is back with episode 69 of the show!
Sporting Kansas City has a lot going on this week considering real football is still nearly a month away. The topic that bothers Cena is whether Kellyn Acosta, who is rumored to be joining KC, is being considered as a long-term replacement for Remi Walter. He primarily plays in the same position, and Remy's contract ends after the 2024 season. Let's take a look at Acosta's cost and fit at Sporting KC.
We also briefly discuss Memo Rodriguez during the trial, the 3-3 draw between Sporting KC and Charlotte FC, and all of Peter Vermes' quotes from the post-game press conference. Plus, our take on the leaked Sporting KC secondary kit: Other leaked MLS kits And Sina will perform the first “bio” of 2024, covering Marinos Tsionis. Who else would you like to see a mini bio of?
You should look into all the leaks better, s/o @twst_twst

There's a lot going on at KC Current as well. We take a closer look at the schedule announcement, all signed players (Bea Zanarat, Desiree Scott, Bailey Feist), trial participants and departed players (Kathy Miller, Mimi Larsson). And I have a radical idea that the NWSL should adopt: abolish trading.
Digital crawls touch on the following topics:
- Felipe Gutierrez retires
- Chance Myers is a technical director in Nashville
- PROs may go on strike
- Hector Herrera takes part in the SKC opening match
- That strange Jesus Ferreira/FC Dallas/Russia story
- Rylan Childers signs for Denmark
- And Inter Miami players are dropping like flies.

This is completely unrelated, but Instagram has been filled with a lot of nonsense lately. Please follow us. Here's a post of his 10-piece Kit Her concept, based on Sheena's silly idea of ”Sunflowers and Barbecue” on a jersey.
