Over There - Shades of Blue Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

Sporting KC have kicked off preseason! We can't watch it but still.. it's soccer you know? We're joined by Mike Kuhn so he can run through all the numbers and analyze the 2021 Major League Soccer schedule. Only six Saturday home games? Plus, SKC will have to squeeze in the Leagues Cup as well. Which is sure to create a few issues along the way.

It's international soccer time right now with Olympic Qualifying for the United States U-23's and the USMNT warming up for World Cup Qualifying. That means new music from The Vandon Arms!

The Sporting KC players are back together this week for unofficial preseason and we got to hear from them for the first time this year.

We also talk about all the new kits being released around Major League Soccer. Why are they all so plain? Is Sporting KC waiting to be the grand finale? We'll have the club's designer on the show next week to talk about his team's newest creation.
