SportsBeat KC: ‘A-Rod’ traded, SKC non-call blasted, USWNT loses ... how was your day?

Amy Rodriguez is no longer a member of KC NWSL. Johnny Russell wasn’t penalized in the box in Sporting KC’s draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. The US Women’s National Team didn’t win (or draw) it’s Olympic opener. All of this happened over about a 30-hour stretch and we break it all down on SportsBeat KC with soccer scribes Shaun Goodwin and Briar Napier. And the U.S. Men’s National Team third straight victory at Children’s Mercy Park in Gold Cup play with Sporting’s Gianluca Busio in the starting lineup again, we discuss that as well and wonder if Busio has played his final game in a Sporting uniform.
