Cincinnati Soccer Talk

FC Cincinnati struggles on the road yet again. The United States can’t win on the road in a match that guarantees them qualification into the World Cup. The parallels between these two teams are strikingly similar. We discuss on this week’s podcast. Get downloading!

Our episode captain this week is Harry! Harry, thank you so much for your generosity! If you’d like to wear the armband for an episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk log onto CincinnatiSoccerTalk.com/support.

Boston, Yosief and I talk about the embarrassing loss over the weekend to the Ottawa Fury, a team that had NOTHING to play for other than play spoiler to FC Cincinnati’s postseason hopes. With the loss, FC Cincinnati may have to win this weekend in order to clinch a playoff spot. They’ll need some help on Thursday night by the Tampa Bay Rowdies when they hit the road against Orlando who is also fighting for a spot.

In our second segment, we talk about the confidence we have in this team to get a result on the road in Toronto this weekend. It could potentially be a must-win game for FC Cincinnati. It’s entirely possible that we’ll know FC Cincinnati’s playoff chances after Thursday night.

Lastly, we discuss how the USMNT missing the 2018 World Cup will affect soccer in the Tri-State. It’s crazy how similar FC Cincinnati and the US have fared this year. Both teams can’t win on the road in games that matter.

Plus we ended the show with our final Growler Cup predictions of the year!

That wasn’t the prettiest of soccer ever BUT it got the job done on Friday night as FC Cincinnati squeaked out a 1-0 win over 3rd place Charlotte. Kenney Walker was sent off due to receiving two yellow cards and GK Mitch Hildebrandt made a 2 point saving save late on a Charlotte penalty kick. Would you believe that this team is currently on a 6-match unbeaten run? Could have fooled us. Are you concerned with the teams form? Or is it more like get 3 points any way you can now at this point. Let us know!

Hamilton County Commissioners identify 4 major infrastructure projects for consideration and BOOM, FC Cincinnati’s soccer-specific stadium made the list. Check out the interesting quotes from Todd Portune on the new projects. READ HERE

We start the show off by discussing the 2-2 draw with Saint Louis FC. With the draw, FC Cincinnati stayed in 6th place and despite Bethlehem Steel having 2 games in hand over the orange and blue. The match was a disappointing match for FC Cincinnati as they found themselves down in this ballgame. However, a LATE penalty kick goal from Danny Konig allowed FC Cincinnati to escape St. Louis with a point.

Our own Bill Wolf was on location tonight for the Hamilton County Commissioner's Meeting where the topic of discussion was about "big box" projects. For instance, things like FC Cincinnati's soccer-specific stadium, U.S. Bank Arena, etc. Bill talked about the march into the meeting that was led by FC Cincinnati President and GM Jeff Berding. It was great to see photos from the passionate FC Cincinnati fans who showed up to support the Build it Here movement.

We also discuss the potential upcoming playoff opponents, if FC Cincinnati makes it, and determine which Eastern Conference opponents we’d LIKE to face and which ones we’d rather stay as far away from as possible.

Plus we ended the show with our Growler Cup predictions!

What a way to cap off the FC Cincinnati 2017 home season! A beat down of the Baby Bulls and 3 absolute screamers for goals. We dissect that and more on this week’s show. Get downloading!

We start the show off by discussing the big 4-2 win over New York Red Bulls II. With the win, FC Cincinnati climbed up to 6th place in the Eastern Conference. The 3 goals scored by Corben Bone, Harrison Delbridge, and Kenney Walker were absolute beauties. Which goal was most impressive to you?

Pat Brennan covers FC Cincinnati for the Cincinnati Enquirer and he does a fantastic job. Pat’s a soccer guy at heart, not just a sports junkie assigned to a soccer beat. Pat has some soccer playing experience at the college level and is soccer fanatic. Just ask him about Wigan Athletic. This week we ask him about the differences between the 2016 and 2017 seasons. He’s also made it very clear that he’s a fan of Alan Koch and feels that he’s done a great job this year with FC Cincinnati. Give Pat a follow over at @pbrennanENQ for all his FCC tweets.

Of course, we wrapped up the show by giving our Growler Cup predictions for the upcoming Saint Louis FC match. Be sure to check out Bryan’s March to Matchday coming out later this week for an in-depth preview!

Despite having a “vacation” last week and some much-needed rest, FC Cincinnati stumbled out of the blocks in the first 3 minutes of the match against Pittsburgh. It’s getting down to squeaky bum time for the Orange and Blue. On this week’s show, we recap the match and talk about the USWNT friendly at Nippert in a few weeks. Get downloading!

Jude Thom is our episode captain this week! Thank you, Jude, for your tremendous generosity! If you’d like to wear the armband for an episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk log onto CincinnatiSoccerTalk.com/support.

We welcomed back Griffin after his “banishment” from the show as well as Brad and Yosief on this week’s podcast. We started off the show by ripping FC Cincinnati a new one after that poor start against Pittsburgh. We’re baffled how this team can look so great against great competition like the Crew, Fire, Miami FC, etc but can’t seem to get out of their own way against teams near them in the table. They were dominated this year by Bethlehem, Orlando City, Red Bulls II, and now they dropped points against Pittsburgh, a team that’s never scored against them, EVER.

Jason Ridge from American Outlaws Cincinnati joined us on the show this week to chat about the supporters group in the Queen City. Jason couldn’t go into to much detail regarding their plans for the upcoming USWNT match later this month at Nippert Stadium. IF you’re interested in joining AO, you can join by going to TheAmericanOutlaws.com

Good buddy of the show Ethen Weimer called into the show this week and he wanted to know “What’s the magic points number for FC Cincinnati to make the playoffs?” What do you think?

We also discussed the recent news surrounding NASL’s sanctioning from Division 2 to Division 3 starting in 2018. Read more about it here
