April 27: Indy Eleven fans didn't know if their club had a future as they beat North Carolina FC days after their city's own Mayor dropped an MLS bombshell on them.
August 27: Indy Eleven fans show up to Sporting Kansas City's Children's Mercy Park to try to do the unthinkable: earn a CONCACAF Champions Cup qualification and a spot in the 2024 US Open Cup final!

For 79 minutes, St. Louis CITY had the Apollo Creed of North American soccer on the ropes.
But unlike Rocky Balboa, St. Louis didn't QUITE go the distance against the Mexican giants.

St. Louis CITY is not done adding reinforcements this summer. But is Jannes Horn the long-awaited answer at left back, or does he have too many questions about his performance and injury history?

Why on Earth would Eintracht Frankfurt pick Louisville, Kentucky as a stop on its North American Tour?
I went there to find out...and came away VERY impressed with Lynn Family Stadium!
Note: I guess my Rode microphone doesn't like when I talk directly into it. It's a sensitive little thing, but apologies for the audio issues when I'm flapping my gums.

St. Louis CITY SC unfortunately cannot play San Jose every game, and were drowned in the Colorado Rapids Sunday night.
This is a quick recap of my watchalong that night, along with highlights from every goal and other key moments.

The only coach in St. Louis CITY SC was sacked after a poor run of form and questions over locker room issues and injury management.

The name Klein means "small". As in, 5-foot-7 professional soccer player small. As in, "chances of MLS success" small.
Don't tell that to Johnny Klein. He plays like a giant! And through hard work and defying the odds, has earned himself a St. Louis CITY SC main roster contract!

St. Louis CITY SC is settling all family business and that includes a BIG bit of rumored business that's being imported from Germany.
Matthew from the "2. Bundesliga Podcast" joins me to analyze the potential signing of Marcel Hartel, and I look at the two names departing to make space (and cash) for him.
