Sporting KC co-owner Cliff Illig talks World Cup bid, playoff push and the future of MLS

Sporting Kansas City co-owner Cliff Illig made a special appearance Thursday on Sports Radio 810 WHB, joining The Program host Soren Petro live from the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe.

Illig, a founder of Cerner and an integral member of the Sporting Club ownership group since 2006, dove into several soccer-centric topics in a compelling 30-minute discussion along the greens of Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada.

First up was a prideful reflection of the Women's World Cup, which saw Kansas City shine as one of the greatest watch party hosts on the planet throughout the tournament.
