    Two wins to start the season - Keeping Current

    Two wins to start the season - Keeping Current

    When the Kansas City Current opened CPKC Stadium they rocketed off to a fast start and earned their first win of the Andonovski era. They went to San Diego to earn their second win in as many games. Not as high-scoring as the first match but a good win for a team that has went through a lot of change. Thad Bell from the Kansas City Soccer Journal is joined by Daniel Sperry from the KC Star to discuss the import win. The Wave were at the top of the standings last season and now the Current have victories over the two best from 2023.

    In a second segment, Thad is joined by Julie Tarasi to discuss the Current, the opening match, the stadium and what it meant to her. I met Julie recently and loved talking soccer in general and the Current specifically.

    A goal fest on both sides, an instant classic. Andonovski started two rookies, two second-year players, and brought in a 16-year-old in the second half that scored a goal.

Mr. Lake ,

Best Sporting KC podcast

Love the show, normally it’s a four star but with the addition of Stacey it’s a 5 star! Keep it up!

KyleeTinKC ,

MUST. LISTEN.

Back at it again! These guys are hilarious. It’s a great mix of comedy and serious analysis. Thad always being deadpan. Cody trying so hard to get Thad to break. David and Robert are so funny.

McGurkenstein ,

Best KC soccer pod

This pod is awesome, always a pretty chill, comical vibe going on. I appreciate the contrasting views from each person, and find solace in the shared misery we have for this team. Which is why I love that y’all play the whole song at the end of each pod. It’s on point lately.
