Cincinnati Soccer Talk

After some time off from league play, Cincinnati returned to action Saturday night on the road to face a hot New England squad. An early goal from Kevin Denkey was the deciding factor and the Orange and Blue snuck away with 3 more points. In this week's episode we'll talk about the win and share our thoughts on the team's performance. We also have the Cincinnati Kid himself, Nick Hagglund joining us for a segment early in the show.

The international break could not have come at a better time. Momentum tends to shift at extended pauses, and FC Cincinnati could use that to get back onto the winning track. Perhaps it could also help cool down our opponents on Saturday--the New England Revolution have not lost in MLS play since the Orange & Blue took them down at home in April. So what's in the clam chowder these days in New England? How has Caleb Porter gone from the hot seat to the driver's seat? The Revs have had some difficult injuries to play through, so why is the team undefeated since April? We get Sam from the Blazing Musket to talk about New England's change to a familiar formation and major performances from new faces. Let's not forget that it's not all Massachusetts up there--perhaps we can talk about what's going on in the other five states?

The international break finally gives us some time to stretch and recollect our bearings, but we at the Jersey Swap podcast never rest. The laundry always needs to be done! With the Club World Cup occupying TQL Stadium for a few weeks, we're focusing on this revised tournament with an expanded field of podcasters. We've invited Daniel Solana from Arriba Bolso!, Nate Janulis from We Are Soccer, Kenta Hagiwara from the Asian Futbol Show, and CST's own Jose Guerra to tackle all six global soccer confederations. What teams are treating this club tournament as a serious competition? What teams have the best shot at getting the lion's share of 1 billion FIFA bucks? Hell, do we really think this competition should have been expanded at all? The biggest Jersey Swap to date in scale and land coverage will cover all of the continents!

A promising first half and an epic collapse in the second half led to a 3-3 draw with FC Dallas. But the storyline that seemed bigger than the shift in momentum was the return of Lucho Acosta to the roaring sounds of "boos" at TQL. We have a lot to discuss in this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk and we hope you will join the conversation.

With the international break and Club World Cup right around the corner, FC Cincinnati finally sees the top of the mountain, the halfway point in the season. The next home opponent clocks in after a five-game winless patch, but D.C. United may have been able to figure out their defensive woes. Now, if only Troy Lesesne's team could jump-start their offense... We chat with Gregory Roche from Pitch Pass to get some background on how the dynamic has changed at the District. Is there any insight towards playoff soccer or even a solution in the next transfer window? Does D.C. have a shot at all three points with the leaky FCC defense? And perhaps we spend some time to bond over our exes... Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

Sunday Night Soccer was a rough experience for FC Cincinnati as they took a hard road loss to Atlanta United, a team that has been struggling with only 4 goals in a winless 8 game stretch. Despite the odds being in Cincy's favor, the Five Stripes dropped 4 goals in this one, doubling Cincinnati's offensive output. But the biggest loss of the match was the Cincinnati Kid, Nick Hagglund, who suffered two broken ribs and a collapsed lung in a 10th minute collision with Emmanuel Latte Lath. In episode 421 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach and Jose discuss the match, the missed chances and the missed calls that sent the Orange and Blue home without a point.

For the second home match in a row, FC Cincinnati hosts a Texas squad with a new head coach and a former team superstar. While the Orange & Blue managed to tame Austin FC and Brandon Vazquez last time, the bonds may be tested this time. Former MLS MVP and FCC captain Luciano Acosta comes to town after a difficult offseason breakup and transfer to FC Dallas. We ask Buzz from 3rd Degree to give us a tour of the facilities. Eric Quill's first season as head coach has proven to be a test for Los Toros. After trading away club legend Jesus Ferreira, how does Dallas look now? Are the playoffs and silverware a realistic possibility? Most of all, how well has Lucho integrated into the team dynamic?

The last time the Orange & Blue crossed paths with The Five Stripes at TQL Stadium, both teams came out even from a barn-burner of a match. While FC Cincinnati has remained relatively hot, Atlanta United has been trying to reignite their spark, going eight matches winless. The teams intersect paths again on Sunday to finish this season's second leg. What happened to the promise of a high-octane offense and dreams of additions to the trophy case? What can team president Garth Lagerway and head coach Ronny Deila do to reverse course? We sit down with Tommy from Scarves and Spikes to cover Atlanta's major purchases and how they are fitting with the pre-existing roster. More importantly, what's this about a "brisket grilled cheese" being served at the Benz? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

It only took 6 minutes for Kevin Denkey to introduce himself to Columbus in the latest edition of Hell is Real. But as we've come to expect from the best rivalry in MLS, there is no space to sit comfortably on a lead. If Cincinnati had any advantage in the first half, the Crew made all the right adjustments and were relentless in their attack in the second half, eventually scoring on a Diego Rossi kick from the spot. The match ended in a 1-1 draw keeping FCC ahead of the Crew but causing them to lose a little ground to Philadelphia who now sits atop the Eastern Conference due to their early season victory over the FCC. Join us tonight at 9:00 for the full breakdown of this version of Hell is Real, a look ahead at the Atlanta match, and little US Men's National Team talk.

Cincinnati continues to collect points during this important stretch of the season and they are doing so with some spectacular goals by striker, Kevin Denkey. Wednesday night's 1-0 win in Toronto makes 2 wins in a row and 7 wins in their last 8 matches. But that streak will be challenged this Saturday, as the Orange and Blue travel to Columbus, OH for the first Hell is Real fixture of the season. As it stands now, FC Cincinnati sits alone atop the Eastern Conference and they are looking to keep it that way with a victory in Columbus.

At least twice a year, we circle this day on the calendar. The "Hell Is Real" Derby is upon us, and once again, it's all Ohio. (It always has been.) FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew have been steadfast and gaining momentum atop the standings, and this weekend's edition presents more than just bragging rights to the victors. We may be biased, but this is the best rivalry in North America, bar none. We know what the Orange & Blue and the Black & Yellow can bring to the table, but what is the vibe from the Crew fans' point of view? How confident are our brethren to the north? We ask Ben and Tre from the Upper 90 Club podcast their opinions on how this season's version of the Crew stands after roster renovations and stadium shakeups.

FC Cincinnati put in a performance this weekend that may have been what was needed to right the ship. With goals by Evander and Valenzuela on assists by Engel and Evander, the offensive partnerships looked promising, enough so that a Brandon Vasquez penalty couldn't even spoil the party. What changes were made to the line up? How did those moves impact the tactics and flow of the game? Will we see more of this from Cincinnati? We'll answer those questions and more in this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk.

Do you remember 5-0 at Austin FC in February of 2022? That crushing loss that started the Pat Noonan era at FC Cincinnati? Oh, we all remember. Both teams made the playoffs in 2022, but since then, the Orange & Blue and Los Verdes have inhabited different sides of the coin. While Noonan's boys have managed to stay high, Austin FC has exchanged head coaches after subpar seasons. The greener side of things? Brandon Vazquez has been given one of the keys to the attack atop Austin's revamped offense. So what exactly has Nico Estevez brought to The ATX? We ask Mike and Steph from Moontower Soccer about soccer life under Anthony Precourt, the exchange of designated players in the offseason, the arrival of and the hope of revitalization in the 2025 MLS season.

The 5 game winning streak for the Orange and Blue came to an end Sunday afternoon at Citi Field in a 1-0 loss to New York City FC. Though it was only one match, with more than half of the season still ahead, fans are split on whether or not there is cause for concern with the team's development. Tune in to episode 417 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, as Brian, Coach, Justin and Jose, break down the match against NYCFC, look ahead at a flurry of matches in May and offer their thoughts on whether or not there is legitimate cause for alarm with Brandon Vazquez and Austin FC coming to town.

The rivalries in New York have been distinct between the two MLS branches in the Big Apple. However, FC Cincinnati has taken a few bites out of the core before as well. We've already covered the bile between Cincinnati and the Red Bulls, and this week we take on the bluer side of the 5 Boroughs. Last season, it ended a bit sour with New York City FC marching into TQL Stadium and winning the rubber match to knock the Orange & Blue out of the playoffs. While Cincinnati brought in a ton of big-money talent in the offseason, NYCFC did the opposite by staying pat. The only major change came at the head coach role, with Nick Cushing exiting and Pascal Jansen taking over. How has that big change worked so far in New York? We invite Andrew from Hudson River Blue back to talk about the Pigeons and perhaps give us a few insights on visiting Citi Field for a match. (Perhaps he has a recommendation for matzo ball soup?)

The Orange and Blue sit alone atop the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer after their win this weekend over Sporting KC. While it may not have been a statement win, Kevin Denkey certainly made a statement scoring a brace by way of a bicycle kick to the top corner.  Join Jason, Coach, José, and Kristi for Episode 416 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk to break down the win over SKC.

The Peter Vermes era has come to an end in the KCK. Sporting Kansas City now has to seek a new identity for the first time in 16 years. The new coach bounce was pretty big last week in San Jose, but is there a future under interim leadership? This is no longer the team led by an experienced goalkeeper between the posts. We invited Jimmy and Daniel from the No Other Pod podcast to discuss this brave new world for SKC. Now that the old guard has left, who pilots the offense? What changes are coming with the end of the trade window? How much of the rocket fuel in last Saturday's win is still in the tank against a Cincinnati squad starting to find their footing?

Despite the absence of Yuya Kubo and Obi Nwobodo, FC Cincinnati continue to find ways to win games. This time they did it in the Windy City on a brace by Evander in his return to the starting XI, and third from striker, Kevin Denkey. Though in the end it was only a one goal differential, the Orange and Blue showed some encouraging signs of what's to come as their attacking partnerships continue to develop.

With Gregg Berhalter's return to the MLS ranks as head coach, the Chicago Fire have returned to the front page. However, that just means a team FC Cincinnati beat in the 2017 U.S. Open Cup is now helmed by the coach of a team FC Cincinnati beat in the 2017 U.S. Open Cup. It's an interesting bit of information. However, Chicago has also fortified their roster with bigger offensive weapons. Could a certain midfielder from Manchester City follow soon after? Can the defense solidify and turn draws into wins? How should we analyze the clean sheet against Messi and Miami last weekend? We ask Alex from the CHGO Fire Podcast to join us and give us pointers from his substack.

FC Cincinnati continue to prove themselves as road warriors. This time they did in DC off the boot of Dado Valenzuela and a strong defensive performance that kept Benteke and his home side out of the net.

The cherry blossoms are gone at the nation's capital, but hardly forgotten. The memories of D.C. United's bad loss to San Jose also have not faded from the District. However, FC Cincinnati fans can attest to the fact that bad losses could be followed by great wins. The two teams clash at Audi Field this weekend, so we invited José Umaña and Mario Amaya (no relation to Frankie) from The Bad Hombres FC Podcast to talk about how head coach Troy Lesesne is directing traffic. Yes, Christian Benteke is a force to be reckoned, but who else should the Orange & Blue watch for? Have the Black & Red resolved their defensive woes from last season?

As the rain fell in Cincinnati and five of FCC's regular starters not even available for the match, there was little hope of coming away with 3 points. But thanks to a heads up play by Pavel Bucha and a sneaky run from Sergios Santos, Cincinnati found the breakthrough they needed. In episode 413 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach, Nathan and Boston break down the win against the Revs, discuss the validity of recent transfer rumors and share their thoughts on FCC's progress so far this season.  Get your Apple MLS Season Pass.  Leave a note in the comments. #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer #FCCincy Show Sponsors:  Apollo Home - www.apollohome.com Go Beyond Exercise - www.gobeyondexercise.com Follow Us: Twitter Facebook  Instagram  Website  Support the Show  Email Us - feedback@cincinnatisoccertalk.com Photo Credit: CST Media LLC Support CST by using StreamYard.

Both FC Cincinnati and New England Revolution rode a set piece and a late penalty kick to capture 2-1 victories last week. Both teams needed wins to flip momentum in their seasons. However, while the Orange & Blue used a scalpel to refine their roster in the offseason, the Revs opted for a machete. Head coach Caleb Porter has almost flipped the full squad, but results have been scant to start the season. We asked Thomas from Revolution Recap about the changes in the offseason and the confidence the fans may have in Porter's system. When does the panic button come into play, especially with some key parts still missing? While we're at it, how hot in the Northeast this season in the lower leagues?

Even with a much more dynamic offensive performance than they've shown in recent weeks, the Orange and Blue looked to be playing for a point late in this week's match against Nashville SC. But thanks to the sharp eyes of referee, Drew Fischer, FCC was awarded a penalty that put them ahead in the 92nd minute and eventually gave them all three points in the Music City. In episode 412 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Jason, Coach, Justin and Brian recap the match, shout out some stand out performances, and consider what this showing could mean for some key upcoming matches.  Get your Apple MLS Season Pass.  Leave a note in the comments. #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer #FCCincy Show Sponsors:  Apollo Home - www.apollohome.com Go Beyond Exercise - www.gobeyondexercise.com Follow Us: Twitter Facebook  Instagram  Website  Support the Show  Email Us - feedback@cincinnatisoccertalk.com Photo Credit: CST Media LLC Support CST by using StreamYard.

It should be labeled a "derby" by all definitions. The distance between the Music City and Queen City remains quite drivable. However, the average FC Cincinnati fan and average Nashville SC fan probably wouldn't admit that the other is a rival. There's still no solid point of contention between both squads. The trend in both squads to start the season may indicate a much closer rivalry in 2025. While the Orange & Blue have started lukewarm, the "Boys in Gold" to the south are on a hot streak. Before Saturday's matchup, we talk with Tim from the Club & Country podcast to see just how well new head coach B.J. Callaghan is cooking with his retooled roster.

With both teams missing a significant amount starters to international duty, injury or suspension, this match up looked to be less than ideal. Though the final result came in as a 2-2 draw, there were some bright spots for the Orange and Blue. Nick Hagglund made his first start since his injury. Evander got on the ball in dangerous spots and scored a brace. And Brad Smith made his debut by bringing some pace and new energy down the left flank. In episode 411 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach, Nick, and Cliff will breakdown the match and discuss whether or not it's time to panic. Tony Husband from MLS Season Pass also plans to drop by to discuss the upcoming match in Nashville.

As much as it appears the sky is falling for FC Cincinnati, that comes from intense pressure and high expectations. The Orange & Blue's next opponents, Atlanta United, are also under the microscope from a rough first month after a massive offseason. It doesn't help that both squads are depleted from injury and international duties. We talk with Jason from Soccer Down Here and his work at 92.9 The Game to read the temperature before Saturday's match. Where do the Five Stripes stand after Miami gained an ounce of revenge last Sunday? How complete is Atlanta with so many players heading to World Cup qualifiers?

The Orange and Blue traveled to North Carolina this past Saturday to face a very good Charlotte FC team and unfortunately, they came home empty handed. The offensive fire power has stalled. The back line looks leaky. And depth continues to be an issue with injuries, a red card, and international duty. Fans are beginning to ask some questions.

For three years, fans of FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC have disputed which is the true "Queen City". However, that may be where the differences end. Head-to-head results have not resolved anything—both teams have two wins over the other, and both have retooled their attacks and fortified their defenses in order to challenge the beasts of the East. We know of the big addition of Wilfried Zaha atop the attack, but how else has head coach Dean Smith polished the Crown? Can the defense replicate their conference-best performance from 2024? What have the first three matches said about the state of CFC? We talk with Anna about the sea change in the Tar Heel State and Charlotte's progression towards the top.

As much as FC Cincinnati's fortunes have flipped from bad to better, the times in Toronto have become difficult. It's been over a calendar year since the Reds from Canada came to visit the Orange & Blue, and it's been over three years since Toronto FC have won over Cincinnati. Can the team from La Ville-Reine—the "Queen City" of Canada—find their footing under a new coach? We talk with Jeffrey from the "Toronto Til I Die" podcast to get his thoughts on Toronto's chances. With a fairly unchanged roster bogged down by an expensive anchor of a contract, how does he feel Saturday's match will go? Does this hotel have a high top floor, or is down the only way on this elevator? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

Game management and paying attention to player minutes where priorities for this match knowing they would have to turn around quickly to face Tigres of LigaMX on Tuesday.  In episode 406 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, hosts Brian, Coach, Jeremy and Jason discuss what went wrong in this 4-1 loss and how Coach Noonan is going to fix it by tomorrow.  Get your Apple MLS Season Pass here:  https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=cst_mls&itscg=30200&at=1001l3bs5 Leave a note in our comments section. #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer #FCCincy Support Cincinnati Soccer Talk on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cincysoccertalk  Show Sponsors: Apollo Home - www.apollohome.com  Go Beyond Exercise - www.gobeyondexercise.com

Since the dawn of Pat Noonan's tenure, the “Master vs. Student” showdown has fueled the matchup between Cincinnati and Philadelphia. But time marches on—Jim Curtin has left, and Noonan has finally become the teacher. What has become of the Union, now that the coaching carousel has come to town? For this sparring session, we bring in JP Zapata, "El Parcero Philly" himself, to tap gloves between Big Brother and Little Brother. This time around, the roles may be reversed with FC Cincinnati as the prizefighter, but if Philadelphia's win over Orlando says anything, the Union still have a puncher's chance.

Though the match was far from flawless, Cincinnati stole their first ever home win against RBNY at TQL in their MLS home opener of 2025. Stats would show RBNY with the advantage in most categories, but stats don't always matter with a player like Kevin Denkey wreaking havoc on the RedBull back line. And in the end it was Celentano with the clean sheet and Denkey with the game winner on a header reminiscent of Djibi Fall's double doink that knocked the Crew from the Open Cup and put FCC in the national spotlight.  This is episode 404 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk and our hosts, Brian, Coach, Nick, and José, along with special guest, Alejandro Delgado from  @nacionfcc9313 , are here to talk about the team we all love and their win against a team we all love to hate. #fccincinnati #fccincy #mls Get your Apple MLS Season Pass here: https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=cst_mls&itscg=30200&at=1001l3bs5 Leave a note in our comments section. #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer #FCCincy Support Cincinnati Soccer Talk on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cincysoccertalk  Show Sponsors: Apollo Home - www.apollohome.com  Go Beyond Exercise - www.gobeyondexercise.com

It's our first midweek show of the season and we're excited to break down FCC's first win in competitive play in 2025 that saw goals from Denkey and Evander, assists from Engel and Powell and a brace from Bucha.

The new MLS season is upon us! Expectations for FC Cincinnati are higher than ever before, but every journey starts with a single step. The biggest hurdle may be to bust the ghosts from the past season—the Orange & Blue lost both matchups against the eventual 2024 MLS Cup finalists, the New York Red Bulls. Head coach Sandro Schwarz has retooled by exchanging youth for European experience with some big names incorporated into the roster over the past few years. Will that be the key to get New York their next bit of silverware? Will FCC rediscover the key to beating the Bulls? We sit down with Daniel from Area Sports Network to see if we can learn anything from the past year and if the Red Bulls' staunch defense from last season is penetrable. (Maybe even ask who the next villain could be in the rivalry?) Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron! Special thanks to this month's new Patreon signups.

There's a new #10 in the Queen City as Lucho Acosta leaves for FC Dallas and Evander joins the Orange and Blue by way of the Portland Timbers. With these two announcements along with the signing of Lukas Engel, FC Cincinnati looks to head south with a solid roster for the first round of the CONCACAF Champions Cup to face FC Motagua in Tegucigalpa, Honduras this Wednesday night.   In episode 402 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk Coach, Brian, Jason and Jeremy discuss what these changes could mean for the team both on and off the pitch.

Believe it or not, FC Cincinnati is about ready to celebrate their 10th season of professional football-soccer-Fußball this year! That's ten years of abject joy, regional pride, and celebration (with a few years of bottom-of-the-barrel misery in the middle). However, there is no time to party just yet--the Orange & Blue start their packed schedule in less than one week! How quickly can FC Cincinnati transition to 90-minute fitness and take on two matches in two different countries over four days? This week, we sit down with Tommy G to get his thoughts on what 2025 will mean to FC Cincinnati and reflect on the past decade as the voice of the Orange & Blue. (Dare we ask if that voice is insured for laryngitis?)

With another week of preseason behind them and still no resolution in the Lucho saga, FCC prepares for their first Concacaf Champions Cup with uncertainty.

It's a new year, a new season, and a new set of jerseys to swap! FC Cincinnati begins their tenth year in existence with another trailblazing venture into the CONCACAF Champions Cup this month. Last season, the Orange & Blue coasted past Cavalier F.C. before bowing to Monterrey's mastery in Mexico. With that experience under their belt, can FC Cincinnati wander further into the unknown? We bring on play-by-play announcer George D. Metellus to give us his perspective from calling last year's first round matches. George's virtual passport has spanned the world, so who better to give us a tour of the tournament? Who does George see as the teams to beat in this year's CCC?
