While the season came to a crushing end this weekend, FCC gave us plenty to celebrate, talk about, and at times, criticize this year. In this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, our team will look back on the season to talk about the biggest surprises, the biggest moments and the biggest flops. And we'll look ahead at some of the roster moves we anticipate for this off season.

We've gotten the dirt sheet on the opposition, but is there more to surmise? Can FC Cincinnati ride momentum to achieve the heights from two years ago? What actually are the chances that the underdog wins? (And when we say "underdog", are we actually talking about Inter Miami?)

We sit down with Jake Zivin, the play-by-play broadcaster for Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal matchup at TQL. It's easy to give opinions on the MVP candidates and designated players, but who does Jake think could play the X-factor? Is there anything either squad should avoid from their respective mid-series losses?

MLS owners recently voted to adopt a new format for the MLS season that would include a Fall/Spring schedule with short winter and summer breaks. It all comes with a new table structure and regional play replacing conference play. What does it mean for fans in Cincinnati? Join us tonight at 9 pm to chime in.

And don't forget about the playoff match with Inter Miami coming to town this weekend. We've got you covered!

Has your pulse returned to normal yet?

After scratching out a seismic win that may have altered the soccer landscape in Ohio, the Orange & Blue have to take on the GOAT in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The victor between FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami just might be the heavy favorite to win the East. While Cincinnati has had Miami's number this season, we know what happened the last time both teams squared off in an elimination game. Can either side reverse-jinx the other?

We bring back Kris from the Battered Herons to ask his thoughts on this season's Miami squad. Yes, Messi has just about everyone else's number, but is it possible to constrain the potent offense and pierce the susceptible defense? Does Miami need to tinker with the team, or is the performance displayed against Nashville enough to move on?

The victory for the Orange and Blue on Saturday was one to remember. Not only did they knock Columbus out of the post season, they had to do it in comeback fashion -- something they have not done often this season.

In this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, we'll recap the match, and look ahead at the Inter Miami squad who comes to town on November 23 for round 2 of the MLS playoffs.

Saturday's pivotal match between FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew will give local fans fits of dread and positivity. So many phantoms lurk from the past two seasons alone. Still, from the perspective of a third party, what are the chances that snowball in hell melts or freezes? Can Cincinnati rebound from the devastation of Match #2? Can Columbus avoid another letdown in the Queen City?

To get finer points on the match, we've asked MLS Season Pass color commentator and analyst Danny Higginbotham to provide his two cents. Where does this season's "Hell Is Real" derby belong in the pantheon of soccer rivalries? What does it take for a team to capitalize in elimination games like these? Who from either side needs to produce an individual performance that lifts their team to the next round?

If you like watching the Hell is Real Derby, the good news is you're going to get to see a third installment in this first round of the MLS playoffs. If you are like the rest of us, we were hoping it would end this weekend.

What happened? How could it have gone so wrong? Will FC Cincinnati be ready for the next match or will they find another early exit in the playoffs?

With one win under their belt, FC Cincinnati looks to close things against their bitter rivals, but how dangerous is a wounded animal? Columbus has the potential to keep the series alive with a trip back to Lower.com Field this weekend, but what are we to say after everything that took place in Match #1? Do the Crew have a lifeline left?

We sit down with Patrick, the managing editor from Massive Report, to process and dissect the 1-0 Cincinnati win last Monday. What went right enough for fans in Columbus to feel good about their chances in the next match? Where do the likes of Daniel Gazdag and Jacen Russell-Rowe fit into a possible Starting XI? What does Nancy need from his team to extend this to a third match?

With the Supporters' Shield landing just out of their reach, FC Cincinnati turns the page and walks the treacherous path to the MLS Cup. The first obstacle is, unfortunately, one they have had trouble climbing.

The "Hell Is Real" Derby again takes place in the postseason, but this one requires two wins to advance. The Orange & Blue take on Columbus Crew in the first round, the first matchup taking place at home on Monday. Columbus had the upper hand at TQL Stadium this season, but that was over three months ago. Both teams have made it to the playoffs, but while Cincinnati has managed to stay above water, the Crew have been decimated by the injury bug that hit FCC hard last year.

We ask Ty Fisher from Massive Report about the hardships the Crew have endured, but also about what could work against Cincinnati. Will Diego Rossi's return be enough of a spark to supercharge the offense? Has Daniel Gazdag been a bust, or is his just lying in wait? Who takes this best-of-three series in the end (and will Geoff stop predicting disasters)?
