The U.S. Men’s National Team was more aggressive and offensive-minded in Thursday’s 6-1 Gold Cup triumph over Martinique at Children’s Mercy Park. And the scoring was capped by a goal with local flavor. Sporting KC’s Gianluca Busio’s cross in front of the goal found the cleat of Nicholas Gioacchini, a Kansas City native.
The Star’s Shaun Goodwin, Cora Hall and Briar Napier break down the game and what’s in store for the USMNT team going forward on today’s SportsBeat KC with host Blair Kerkhoff.
Among other topics covered: What’s coming up for Sporting KC, KC NWSL and the USWNT team coached by Kansas City’s Vlatko Andonovski in the Olympic Games, and we talk about why we’ve enjoyed the soccer-based TV series Ted Lasso starring Jason Sudeikis, also from Kansas City, as the show’s second season approaches.
