The Journal is the central source for independent coverage of all things soccer in Kansas City. You'll find a great mix of in-depth analysis and fun as we're a simply a dedicated group of fans.
Follow along for coverage of MLS & Sporting KC, the NWSL & KC Current, the MASL & KC Comets, plus U.S. National Team content as well.
Fantastic and overall spot on. A few comments: youth and speed are a must. That does not mean a team should not have skilled veterans and the Comets have them and their leadership showed. Something else maybe to talk about is the Visa issue. Regarding the Comets, if Benji is available next year - they just got younger and faster. Junior would had another young offensive weapon. Atkins is a big guy and younger. Just having those 3 will help.
Thanks for the comment. I agree they will add some needed youth and speed. I am not sure on all of their situations but it would be good to have them available. - Thad
I feel the Current are moving on from Cassie Miller. I understand the move. I feel she can go elsewhere in the league and start. Will be interesting to see how her future unfolds
I came to youtube to watch Cody freak out in his bedroom. Listened to the pod on Spotify in my car but I needed to see the full Effect! Great work guys. One of my favorite Sporting podcasts!Listening up here in Omaha NE. Coming down to the game vs Austin tomorrow!
Loved the interview gentlemen! Jimmy is great. Also, love that map of Westeros in the background Cody. I think, even though you and I don't always agree, we are so alike. 😃
Been around KC soccer my whole life. Played on the best mrl team growing up. Varsity soccer. I even worked as a bartender for SKC. The announcer Dale, was my assistant coach. Here’s what I will say… Kansas City is a huge Soccer capital. Sheels Park, Swope Park, Overland Park in general… We grow a lot of natural talent. For Christ sake Matt Biesler went to Blue Valley West….Peter Vermes is a asshole. But in order to run a club you must have a type of way. The internal workforce in SKC is underpaid. Employees would constantly complain of having to be there or how it was another bad job. There were bartenders during my first season last year that hated it. They have done it for years and we’re complaining non stop. Good valued employees love to come to work. Things have changed, maybe the pandemic, but I think it’s more than that. SKC needs to import, new highly valued players, get a superstar or something. Remember the old SKC, the team was one. Let’s find players that are out here to create magic!…..andddd fix the internal issues. Much love
Btw the Cauldron tips extremely well. Despite the out come. I was bartending one game on the field. The only spot on it. The Cauldron would non stop tip after ever single brew. I felt like a stripper. The fan base isn’t the problem.
I wasn’t allowed in the cauldron growing up bc of the intensity of the cauldron, and now we have families and 5 year olds and younger up on the capo stand?!? The cauldron needs to change NOW. I have been a season ticket holder for 3 years now and I’m ready for a whole new management of it to a younger crowd and social media actually being used
I have reached out and have heard nothing, I have recently been starting new chants that reach quite a few people but the same old “vermes army” and “out to win the league” have got to go. The MLS has changed and we are stuck with the same chants and same old leadership.
stay je kat US.. jgn main dgn team malaysia, better dia target utk dpt tempat utk USA National team.. kalau ada rezeki dia.. dia lahir di USA bukan malaysia.. sama juga pemain tennis terkenal australia Nicholas Hilmy Kyrgios darah melayu keturunan raja.. ibu dia nama Norlaila kerabat diraja selangor.. kita bangga dia berdarah melayu malaysia cukuplah.
