The first podcast established in 2021 to cover the Kansas City Current, hosted by Cindy Lara, Coleman Childers, Kristian Gumminger, and Nancy Pendleton.
Debinha Hat Trick & The 5-1 Win | Season 6, Ep. 24
The Kansas City Current looked like themselves again after a 5-1 victory vs. Bay FC; Temwa Chawinga kept doing Temwa Chawinga things, & Debinha delivered a hat trick that turned a big win into a statement. Is the team finding its form just in time for the playoff push?
Cindy, Kristian, & Coleman break down the 5-1 result, from the early concession to Kansas City’s response. They discuss the defensive concerns on the right side, why Elizabeth Ball at right back remains a talking point, & how the Current keep finding ways to win after conceding first.
Then they look ahead to a major road test against Utah, where playoff positioning & goal differential could make every point count.

Hat Trick Hopkins | Season 6, Ep 23
Coleman & Cindy break down the 4-1 win over the Denver Summit, including the shaky opening minutes, Lindsay Heaps’ early goal, & the moment Michelle Cooper and Vanessa DiBernardo helped unlock everything. They also dig into how Haley Hopkins went from a question mark at the nine to the player who completely changed the conversation.
You'll hear:
-Why the first 15 minutes felt like a warning sign before Kansas City took control
-How the penalty & Debinha’s miss raised bigger questions about confidence & mentality
-What Haley Hopkins did differently in a breakout performance that may have changed her season
-Why Vanessa DiBernardo’s vision & passing may be one of the most underrated pieces of this attack
-How Temwa Chawinga, Michelle Cooper, & the Current’s counterattack fit into the team’s identity
They also look ahead to Bay FC, where anything less than three points would feel like a missed opportunity. With Claire Hutton returning to Kansas City, playoff positioning tightening, and the defense still giving nerves, this episode is equal parts celebration & reality check.

Lifeless in San Diego | Season 6, Ep. 22
Cindy, Kristian, & Coleman break down the Current’s 2-0 loss to San Diego, the set-piece collapse, the attack that never quite clicked, & the roster decisions that are making the problem feel bigger than one bad night.
They dig into what’s really missing - from the lack of a true No. 9, the bench depth, the coaching disconnect, & the ongoing churn of key players leaving without being properly replaced. You’ll hear frank debate about Lorena’s positioning on the own goal, why the road press keeps failing, & whether the team’s “best club in the world” branding is starting to feel painfully out of sync with reality.
The discussion also gets into the bigger picture behind the slide: the difficulty of sustaining a Shield-winning level without a stable sporting structure, & why the Current’s once-clear competitive advantages no longer feel unique in a league that’s rapidly catching up.
From there, the crew looks ahead to the final five matches & the playoff math, including a crucial home stretch. They weigh whether this team can still rally & why the next few weeks could decide everything.
