US Women to play in Kansas City?
There is a report from New Zealand that the "Football Ferns" as their women's team is known is setting up a pair of friendlies with the U.S. and that one of those games would be played in Kansas. While nobody would confirm the story on record, I was told that it was close if not a done deal. Could this be an opportunity to launch a women's team under the Sporting Club banner? Please bring Hope Solo and Alex Morgan...
Missouri Comets to announce more signings
Information from a source close to the team has revealed that the Comets will likely announce more player signings shortly.

Last week the Comets signed defender Ibrahim Kante previously with the Vipers and brought back defender Brian Harris. The Comets are assembling the team for their second season in MISL after finishing third and making it to the playoffs in their inaugural year

Shavar Thomas trial at Portsmouth
Last Friday I reported that "he requested some time away and it was granted." At the time he was expected back that day or the next and I did see him in the stands at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park Satruday night when his team mates took on Toronto. When I was told he was away, I thought there was a decent chance that he might be looking but did not expect him to be at Portsmouth. It sounds like they liked him, just not enough to sign him. When a player is not happy, Vermes is not shy about letting them look...
