Sportsbeat KC #523 : Sporting KC Dives Into Transfer Pool & Should USWNT Be OK With Bronze?
One out the door, another in for Sporting Kansas City. The Gianluca Busio transfer to Venezia FC in Italy became official, and so did the team’s signing of Jose Mauri, an Argentine-Italian midfielder. We talk about both on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, with Shaun Goodwin and Cora Hall. Also on the menu: Sporting KC has been on fire, a 4-1 triumph at LAFC as its latest conquest. Daniel Salloi continues to impress and was named to the MLS All-Star team. The USWNT, coached by Kansas City’s Vlatko Andonovski, claimed an Olympic medal but not the one they had hoped, and KC NWSL was reprented in the Olympic gold-medal match.

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.

SportsBeat KC #480: Staying hot (or getting hot) is shared aim of Sporting KC, KC NWSL clubs
Kansas City’s professional soccer teams, Sporting KC and KC NWSL, are moving in opposite directions. Sporting is on fire, winners of three straight and climbing into second place in the MLS Western Division standing. KC NWSL is struggling. Winless in its four regular-season games, the expansion team has been held without a goal in three. Two draws means they’re only one victory away from moving up in the standing. Perhaps it comes on Sunday at Legends Field against Houston. Shaun Goodwin, who covers soccer for The Star discussions the fortunes of the two teams with host Blair Kerkhoff on today’s SportsBeat KC.

SportsBeat KC #461: The return of Matt Besler, and impressions of KC NWSL’s 2nd home opener
One of the greatest players to wear a Sporting KC uniform, Matt Besler, returns to Kansas City this weekend....as a member of Austin Football Club. What kind of reception will he receive? Also, Sporting stands at the forefront of developing and advancing homegrown talent. The Star’s Shaun Goodwin and Aly Trost of 810 WHB explain why. We also take look back at KC NWSL’s first game at Legend’s Field. A beautiful goal by Mallory Weber got things started on the right foot but the team couldn’t avoid the setback. Still, a memorable night for the expansion club.
