Rain, rain, please stay away. I wish I had a practice bubble for all the coaching sessions we’ve had in the rain lately. Speaking of the weather, there was a bit of a delay last Saturday night during FC Cincinnati’s 2-1 win over Bethlehem. But the Orange and Blue pulled through. Get downloading today!

This week’s episode is brought to you by the Cincinnati Dutch Lions. Get your tickets for their home opener at NKU on May 21st at cdlfc.com.

Highlights from this week’s show.

Bryan, Yosief, Boston and I discuss the latest fundraising efforts for Sports Games for Kids. Bryan and Yosief have already hit their paint up threshold. Now we’re raising even more money. If we hit $1000, Boston will paint up and $1500 will get yours truly coated in paint for an FCC home match. To donate, log on to PayPal.me/SGFK.

 

We finally were able to get this guy on the podcast this week. We’ve been waiting for quite some time, even dating back to last year! But FC Cincinnati color analyst Kevin McCloskey joined us on this week’s podcast to discuss his role with the FC Cincinnati broadcast and how he’s seen soccer grow in the Queen City. Plus he fills us in on what his very first meal in the United States was. I’ll give you a hint, “whenever you’re feeling good and hungry……”

We had some great callers on this week’s podcast including Daniel, and Yersky as always. Plus we were surprised by another visit from our old friend Bill from Kentucky who had no filter when it comes to his recent experience in Louisville.

We also visited with Steve Bernasconi from The Soccer Tour. This guy is trekking across the US and Canada just to watch soccer matches and he’ll be in the Queen City very soon. To learn more about this road trip, log on to TheSoccerTour.com.

Finally, massive thanks to Stephen Starkey for supporting CST, he’s the most recent entrant into the Growler Cup. Don’t forget we could really use some hardware upgrades to make our live stream even better. You can help us do that by supporting the show!
