John Hayes and Daniel Bramlette discuss Charlotte FC's winning week and playoff qualification. Plus, Patrick Agyemang's future and Swiderski's resurgence. Dean Smith is flexing with his new tactics and signings. The Crown is back to winning ways to finish off the season.

After DannyBrams needled Dean Smith about Charlotte FC's "boring" play during a 3-match losing streak, The Crown responded in a big way with a 4-0 thrashing of the New England Revoluition that has bouyed playoff position and restored some hope for a potential postseason run in the QC.

We l talk that match plus the Brandt Bronico Beds For Kids Fundraiser that turned out to be a hell of a party, and look ahead a bit to an away day against InterMessi and crew that should be a vital measuring stick for where this club actually is with just four matches left in the regularseason.

It's For the Crown, Baby!

It's been a drought of episodes for this show and a drought of points for Charlotte FC...we may not be able to fix the latter but the former has at least been cured for now as Hayes & Brams get back on the mics to talk about where The Crown stands with just 5 matches left in the season and the club free-falling down the league table.

We react to Dean Smith's pre-New England press conference and break down some of the changes he made against Orlando in midweek which sadly failed to produce the desired result...is it too late for this club to make some playoff magic or will they shake off these doldrums and start peaking at the perfect time? It's for the Crown, Baby!

Great sitdown with Nathan Byrne as Charlotte FC enters the stretch run of the 2024 MLS Season with all eyes on the playoffs.

Football is back!! Doubters were circling near the end of the window but Charlotte FC appears to have defied the odds by bringing in a new record signing just before the deadline, Creative Attacking Mid Calvin Stengs from Feyenoord Rotterdam. Stengs projects as a transformational signing For The Crown, potentially one of the best players in MLS as the league hits its homestretch...and he may not be the only signing in store! A shock move for Miguel Almiron is also rumored, one which would not only shoot Charlotte FC into the talent stratosphere, but also would break the hearts of whatever fans Atlanta United has left.

Johnny & Brams are here to break it all down, plus put this news in context of all the amazing things happening across this Soccer City. The Independence are top of the league and fighting for glory in the Jaeger Cup, and the Ascent are preparing for a launch that will elevate women's soccer to heights never seen before in the Queen City.
