We welcome in a few newcomers right off the bat this week. First and foremost we welcome the newest member of CST, Rob Peirce to the podcast. We then welcomed new FC Cincinnati center back Forrest Lasso. Lasso joins FC Cincinnati after a few years with the Charleston Battery. We’ve interviewed quite a few players in 92 episodes but you can just tell in Lasso’s voice he’s absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to play in this city and in front of these passionate fans. The biggest takeaway from our conversation Monday was “championships” and his desire to win one.

There may not be a busier man in the city of Cincinnati right now than Jeff Berding. Jeff took a few minutes out of his extremely busy schedule to give us an update on Monday’s conference call with the Hamilton County Commission and Major League Soccer. Jeff sounded very optimistic about the prospects of getting something done. After the show wrapped Monday, news broke about the stadium too.

We said goodbye to FC Cincinnati club legend, Harrison Delbridge. It was announced last week that Harry will be heading back to Australia with the Melbourne Victory of the A-League with the hopes of securing a spot on the Australian national team. Harry, from all of us at CST, we wish you NOTHING but the best of luck in Australia!

Last but not least, with Thanksgiving coming up this Thursday, we each listed what we’re thankful for regarding FC Cincinnati.

We congratulated the girls' soccer teams at Loveland, Indian Hill, Summit Country Day and the boys soccer team at Beavercreek for winning OHSAA State Championships this weekend. It’s the first time in OHSAA history that all 3 girls state titles were won by Cincinnati teams. Job well-done everyone!

It was announced on Monday that FC Cincinnati and Mercy Health have agreed to a kit sponsorship deal that will go into effect once the club gets into MLS. One of the parties involved in the negotiations stated that this kit sponsorship deal is one of the biggest signed by a team and is better than most MLS kit sponsorship deals currently in place. The deal is contingent upon FC Cincinnati being selected as an MLS Expansion franchise next month.

Lost in all of the news last week surrounding the stadium was the signing of a new center back. On this weeks show we discuss the signing of Dekel Keinan who will be joining us from Maccabi Haifa from the Isreal Premier League. We fill you on what he’ll bring to the FC Cincinnati back line. For more information on Dekel, check out this story from Brad Weigel. (http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/2017/11/09/fc-cincinnati-rumored-to-sign-maccabi-haifa-cb)

On this week’s show, we’re joined by Jackie Reau, the Board Chair of the Cincinnati Sports Commission. Jackie and the Commission are responsible for organizing the official bid to be a host city in the 2026 World Cup. Yes, THE WORLD CUP! Would you ever have thought two years ago we’d be saying Cincinnati and World Cup in the same sentence? It’s crazy how far this town has come in the soccer landscaped in just over 2 years. Remarkable.

FC Cincinnati defender Paul Nicholson announced his retirement from soccer. He’s hanging up his boots and will join the coaching ranks eventually. Paul will go down as a club legend being part of the inaugural team in 2016. I know the 2017 season did not fare how he had hoped it would, but Paul will always be a legend in our eyes. Congrats on a great career Paul and best of luck in your retirement. Hopefully, we’ll see you again on the field soon Nico!

We wrapped up the show talking USL Playoffs and Mitch Hildebrandt’s new beer.

In episode 2 of the CST EPL Roundtable BradWeigel is joined by Kevin Jackson (LFC Cincinnati), Andrew Jono (Man U), and Clay Benjamin (Cincy Blues). They recap the first 9 matches of the EPL season and the first half of UEFA Champions League group play. We also discuss our "who's hot" and "who's not" teams and who we think will finish up top after 38 matches.

Unfortunately, FC Cincinnati’s 2017 postseason ended as quickly as it began. Another one and done for the Orange and Blue. On this week’s episode, we look back at the match from Saturday night and look ahead to a quick turnaround for FCC. Get downloading folks!!<--more-->

FC Cincinnati fell 3-0 to the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the first round of the USL Playoffs. For whatever reason, this 2017 FC Cincinnati squad just could not muster up any away form this year. If you don’t think a new stadium is necessary, think again. They can’t afford to go on the road for 6 of the last 8 weeks of the season like they did this year. What were your thoughts on the 4-4-2 from Saturday? Surprised? How about the substitutions? Did you make anything of the performance Saturday? Hard to watch that’s for sure.

There was some breaking news late in the day on Tuesday that FC Cincinnati will be hosting a 10 a.m. Press Conference on Wednesday regarding roster changes. Based on the timing of this press conference so soon as the season and while the USL and MLS playoffs are underway, this presser likely means we’re saying goodbye to some of our favorite Orange and Blue Soccer Ball Kicking Good Guys. Which player departure would you be unhappy about the most?

Brad and Ben had a chance to record another Premier League/Champions League Roundtable at Rhinehaus last night as well. Be on the lookout for that podcast in your feed soon. Don’t want to miss it? Get subscribed for free so that it automatically downloads to your device!

Hey! What do you know! FC Cincinnati gets a win on the road which means they avoid Louisville in the 1st round of the USL Playoffs. But, Tampa Bay is certainly no slouch. We’re joined by Harrison Delbridge this week on the podcast and we also discuss the relocation plans for Columbus Crew SC.

Well, they’re in! FC Cincinnati made the postseason, but we knew this on Thursday evening after Tampa Bay beat Orlando City B. FC Cincinnati’s final regular season road game was an interesting affair, to say the least. They somehow managed to concede 3 goals to one of the worst teams in USL but fortunately, FC Cincinnati was able to put 4 in the back of Toronto’s net. We recap the match and our thoughts moving forward into the postseason.

The last time we had Harrison Delbridge on the show was last year after he was voted the 2016 Player of the Year at Cincinnati Soccer Talk. Harry took home the award AGAIN in 2017 narrowly edging out teammate Mitch Hildebrandt. Delbridge joined the podcast to discuss the 2017 seaso and his excitement for the upcoming playoffs. He also fills us in on where you can find Jimmy McLaughlin if he ever goes missing in Cincy.

If you haven’t heard already, Grant Wahl from Sports Illustrated broke this story late on Monday evening. Yes, you’re reading it correctly. The owner of the Columbus Crew has a plan seemingly in place to go ahead and move the team to Austin. Joining us on the show this week is Patrick Murphy from MassiveReport.com to talk about the implications, what it means for Columbus soccer fans as well as what it means for FC Cincinnati’s expansion application.
