The crew returns to the tunnel once again for another full slate of Detroit City FC discussion and, as usual, things quickly get off the rails.

This week, the crew revisits their favorite World Cup memories before turning their attention to Darren Smith’s historic five-goal performance against Sporting JAX, and whether the striker’s superstar status has officially arrived. They also spend some time wondering if the men’s team might actually not suck, which is not something everyone expected to be discussing a few months ago.

The conversation then shifts to the Detroit City FC women’s side, with Ann Arbor continuing its transformation into Rouge and Gold territory, before the crew discusses the latest AlumniFi Field delays, which surprised absolutely nobody.

They also address the ongoing saga surrounding Friendly, with no one entirely convinced the mascot was actually stolen in the first place.

Along the way there are tangents, hot takes, and the usual Tunnel Talk chaos that somehow makes sense by the end. ⚜️🎙️⚽

In the debut episode of The Club, Red sits down with Detroit City FC legend Stevie Carroll to discuss retirement, family life, and his new role with the club.

Stevie reflects on the lessons learned throughout his career, shares stories from his time in the game, and talks about the people who influenced him along the way, including Dave Dwaihy. The conversation also includes a well-deserved acknowledgment of Red’s legendary 1998 All-State soccer career.

A candid and entertaining discussion with one of Detroit City FC’s most recognizable figures as he begins the next chapter of his journey. ⚜️🎙️⚽

In this episode of Tunnel Talk, the crew is back in the tunnel after a lengthy hiatus and, in a bold break from tradition, arrives with absolutely no agenda whatsoever.

The conversation wanders through the early stages of the Detroit City FC women’s USL-W season, including impressions from the squad’s start and what has stood out so far. The crew also takes stock of the men’s side, whose spring campaign has been a little up and down, but mostly up, as DCFC continues to battle through league play and cup competitions.

The discussion also touches on Detroit City FC’s first ever appearance at The Soccer Tournament (TST), what it means for the club, and why the event has become such an intriguing addition to the soccer calendar.

Along the way there are tangents, distractions, questionable transitions, and at least a few moments that can generously be described as incoherent rambling.

Also, if anyone happens to see Garret, please remind him to send over the Channel 4:51 YouTube password. The people need answers. ⚜️🎙️

In this episode of Tunnel Talk, the crew gathers in the tunnel once again, and Red’s mic audio is mysteriously very low, which some may consider the biggest win of the episode.

Despite the technical “feature,” the crew still manages to break down Detroit City FC’s massive win over Louisville City FC and what the performance could mean moving forward for Le Rouge.

The conversation also dives into the beginning of the Dani Evans era with the club’s USLW side, including some aggressively early reactions to the women’s team roster that are absolutely fair and reasonable after roughly five minutes of observation.

The crew also discusses a few interesting tidbits coming out of the Annual Owners Meeting before the episode predictably drifts into the usual Tunnel Talk chaos.

In this episode of Tunnel Talk, the crew gathers in the tunnel once again to break down Detroit City FC’s 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, sorting through what went wrong.

They then shift to the women’s team opener, which quickly turns into an attempt to build an all time DCFC women’s starting XI in a 4-4-2.

The crew also takes time to look back at their top three favorite matches at Keyworth, diving into the moments, atmospheres, and results that stand out the most.

As always, things wrap up with TST, because no episode of Tunnel Talk ends quietly.

In this episode of Tunnel Talk, the crew returns to the tunnel while Denis is off celebrating Chicago Fire, leaving the rest to sort through Detroit City FC’s Open Cup loss and what went wrong.

The group also breaks down the result against Jacksonville and what it means for the squad moving forward. The conversation then shifts to Saturday’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, with a preview of what DCFC needs to do to respond and get back on track.

In this episode of Tunnel Talk, the tunnel might have been a little sparse, but the banter showed up in playoff form. The crew wraps up the MASL-W season, takes stock of the early days of the Detroit City FC men’s campaign, and starts asking the questions everyone in Rouge and Gold is already thinking about.

There is also an entirely reasonable amount of admiration for Haruki Yamazaki, because at this point it would be suspicious not to mention him, plus a proper birthday shout for Jeciel Cedeño as the crew celebrates another trip around the sun for one of DCFC’s own.

All of that, plus the usual tunnel chaos, opinions, and side quests you have come to expect from Tunnel Talk.

In this episode of Tunnel Talk on Channel 4:51, the crew is back in the tunnel after week one of the Detroit City FC season and, as expected, priorities are in order. Jaime has kept receipts from the past few weeks and is already calling for apologies, whether anyone is ready to give them or not.

The crew also turns to the debate around ticket prices for the women’s indoor playoffs and whether the cost matches the moment. Opinions vary, and not everyone is convinced.

All that, plus the usual tunnel chaos, in the latest episode of Tunnel Talk.

In this episode of Tunnel Talk on Channel 4:51, the crew returns to the tunnel just days before Detroit City FC kicks off the 2026 USL Championship season. As expected, the hard hitting analysis starts with the most important question facing the club. Which DCFC player would be most likely to end up as a contestant on Love Island.

The crew also reacts to the newly released Detroit City FC kits and shares some honest opinions on the latest "Rouge and Gold look."

Eventually the conversation turns to the actual football. The group previews the upcoming season, discusses expectations for the squad, and offers a few bold predictions for Detroit City FC in 2026. Whether those predictions age well is a different question.

The crew stumbles back into the tunnel this week because apparently this show still has legs.

On this episode, they tackle the hard questions. Like which Detroit City FC players would survive a Winter Olympics crossover. Bobsled? Curling? Speed skating? The scouting reports are questionable and the confidence is high.

They also ask whether we should actually be impressed with what the men’s side did this offseason. Is this real progress or are the preseason friendlies a precursor for another milquetoast offensive strategy combined with problems on the backline? The roster moves and early performances get picked apart accordingly.

The women’s MASLW season gets real attention too, including how the squad is shaping up and why the supporters continue to show up in ways that matter. That includes meaningful charity work to support immigrants in the community.

And yes, there is some frustration over the MASLW’s reluctance to give credit where it is due.

Tunnel chaos. Mild outrage. Winter sports takes no one requested. Same energy as always.
