Cincinnati Soccer Talk

It was a clash of the titans on Saturday night as league-leading Philadelphia Union came to town to face a Cincinnati side with some new fire power. But for the third time in a row, Cincinnati dropped all three point at TQL. Now with just 5 matches left, three of them at home, where will FCC finish in the table? Will they find their new rhythm in time for the playoffs?

FC Cincinnati fell flat against the Philadelphia Union earlier this season, but both teams are in solid position to get a home match in the playoffs. While the Orange & Blue have tested the transfer window for help, the Union have only put their eggs into one basket. Can Bradley Carnell pilot his team to a #1 seed in the East?

We talk with Todd from The Free Kick to answer some of the lingering questions. Did the Union need to do more before the transfer window closed, or are any voids left in the roster? Can the defense hold firm without some of the old guard? Does the rivalry still exist without the master-student dynamic?

While Cincinnati made some big moves on Thursday night at the close of the summer transfer window, it seemed they were fresh out of moves by Sunday night when it came to their play on the pitch as the orange and blue dropped their second straight at home by a score of 1-0 to NYCFC.

There is plenty to critique and even more to complain about, but in the end, FCC is just 2 points away from the top of the table and have a chance this week to regain the lead with a win over the current leader, Philadelphia Union.

With minutes to spare in the transfer window, FCC made some major moves - the biggest of which is the re-signing of Brenner.

Last time, the Big Apple took a large bite out of the Orange & Blue. This time, the winged lions look to claw and bite back.

But how much has NYCFC changed since that loss at Citi Field in May? Cincinnati has managed to hurdle some of the competition, while the Pigeons from the 5 Boroughs have treaded water, especially on the road. Then again, NYCFC rode the hot gloved hands of Matt Freese to win the last time at TQL Stadium in the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs.

We sit down with Michael from Blue City Radio to turn the volume up on this rivalry between Cincinnati and New York. Can this NYCFC squad subsist on two guys for offense? Does head coach Pascal Jansen have reinforcements on the way? (And can we get through this episode without any baseball-field jokes?)

Evander made his return to Portland to the sound of boos all around -- from the moment he stepped off the bus to the moment he stepped off the field. But as we know in Cincinnati, booing a former player who may not have left on great terms and is already playing with a chip on his shoulder in his return to your stadium, is like throwing gasoline on an already lit fire.

And though Portland had their say on the back of former FCC striker, Kevin Kelsey, who had plenty to prove himself, Cincinnati walked away with another 3 points in their 9th road win of the season.

Needed any more pressure in your MLS season? FC Cincinnati is one of about a dozen teams still in the running for the Supporters' Shield. While they have played well on the road, the final three away trips all look difficult on paper.

Take, for example, the Portland Timbers, a team FC Cincinnati has not visited yet. Providence Park isn't impenetrable, but a late-night tilt against the Timbers isn't easy. We sit down with Alex Barnes from Stumptown Footy to learn a bit about the team Evander once called his own.

The fans couldn't be that bitter about exchanging their star #10 for another one, right? And on the matter of exchanges, how is the Kevin Kelsy experiment going? Does Phil Neville have a squad that could join their fellow Cascadians in the MLS Cup playoffs?

In their first match back in MLS play following their exit from League's Cup, FC Cincinnati took an L at TQL in a battle with Charlotte. Despite the loss, we saw some encouraging things: the return of Kevin Denkey and the speed of Echinique.

But we also saw the departure of midfielder, Brian Anunga on a red card following video review. But for those who stayed a little later, the night was redeemed when the FC Cincinnati alumni took the field in 30 minute friendly that saw the blue team win it on a brace by Emery Welschman.

We have a lot to talk about on this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk.

With the Leagues Cup appetizer digested, it's time to focus on the real meat and potatoes of the soccer season. Nine teams are within ten points of each other atop the standings, and Charlotte is hoping to make the argument that there should be ten by week's end. After all, they had taken the crown earlier this season with a 2-0 home win over Cincinnati. Cincinnati fans would probably argue that they have improved, while Charlotte stumbled with a midseason swoon.

We talk with Danny from the Charlotte Soccer Show podcast to acclimate once again with a very different Carolina team. Is the defense still strong despite some rearrangement? What can spark the offense with one striker dealt and an MVP candidate on the mend? Can Charlotte defend their Queen City Cup during FCC's alumni weekend?

League's Cup is in full swing and FCC looked to be in good form after the first match against Monterrey. But in their second match against a surprisingly good FC Juarez, the Orange and Blue had to fight back late to send the game to penalties. In the end, it just wasn't their day and they walked away with only a point to show.

Did they underestimate Juarez? Did they send their best penalty takers to the spot?

We'll discuss all that and more in tonight's episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk.
