Cincinnati Soccer Talk

Much like last week’s podcast episode, we’re not really sure why or how it took 69 episodes to get Kenney Walker on the show but are we glad we did! By the way, did you hear that FC Cincinnati face the Crew Wednesday night? Get downloading this podcast today!

No episode captain this week. If you’d like to wear the armband for an episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, support us today!

We start the show off discussing last weekend’s 1-1 draw at home to Charlotte. Considering that last weekend was basically a throwaway game with all of the squad rotation, you figure that FC Cincinnati would come out firing on all cylinders, rested and ready to go at home. Yeah, we got that one wrong.

Joining us on the Kings Hammer Hotline this week is special guest, Kenney Walker, midfielder from FC Cincinnati. Kenney talks about growing up in Ohio and how he was never really a fan of the Crew. He knows this is a big game between the two sides, and all though he stays off social media, he hears everything that’s going down between the two fanbases. He also admitted on this very program his true feelings about Skyline Chili.

FC Cincinnati on Monday unveiled their soccer-specific stadium plans and, surprise surprise, it involved Newport, KY. Our own Boston was there at the event and gave us the full report here.

We start the show off with a bang discussing last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Rochester. Boston held nothing back when it comes to the FC Cincinnati goalkeepers. Many of us weren’t surprised at the squad rotation over the weekend and understood why it needed to be done.

Joining us on the Kings Hammer Hotline this week is special guest, Austin Berry, defender and team captain from FC Cincinnati. Austin talks about his year in 2017, specifically the fact that he’s been able to stay healthy compared to last year. He credits his offseason routine for helping him stay fit this season. He also confirms a rumor about the Nippert Stadium turf. Austin also discusses his favorite player growing up, Thierry Henry, who starred for Arsenal, Barcelona and the New York Red Bulls in MLS.

It was announced, finally, this week that FC Cincinnati will play host to another international friendly. This time it’s Valencia from Spain’s La Liga who will be taking on the orange and blue.

PLUS, it was revealed this week that with FC Cincinnati’s win over that team down south in the US Open Cup, that I will, in fact, be painting up for a match sometime this summer. I’m apologizing to the Queen City in advance. With that win though, FC Cincinnati gets to host THE COLUMBUS CREW! Bring it on! Plus it means another Widmers Cleaners Clean Sheet.

Joining us on the Kings Hammer Hotline this week is special guest, Justin Hoyte, defender from FC Cincinnati. Justin fills us in on his long road to fitness after getting hurt just 12 minutes into his USL debut. He was in the 18 over the weekend so that means he’s good to go. He’s itching to make that home debut at Nippert Stadium soon. Justin is a lifelong Arsenal supporter, despite his dad being a Manchester United fan (GGMU). He hasn’t had a chance to try Skyline just yet but he’s added it to his list of must have’s soon.

Bryan wrote a fantastic piece last week regarding the stadium situation and MLS expansion which we discuss a bit on the show this week. Give it a read here.

We finally were able to get this guy on the podcast this week. We’ve been waiting for quite some time, even dating back to last year! But FC Cincinnati color analyst Kevin McCloskey joined us on this week’s podcast to discuss his role with the FC Cincinnati broadcast and how he’s seen soccer grow in the Queen City. Plus he fills us in on what his very first meal in the United States was. I’ll give you a hint, “whenever you’re feeling good and hungry……”

We had some great callers on this week’s podcast including Daniel, and Yersky as always. Plus we were surprised by another visit from our old friend Bill from Kentucky who had no filter when it comes to his recent experience in Louisville.

We also visited with Steve Bernasconi from The Soccer Tour. This guy is trekking across the US and Canada just to watch soccer matches and he’ll be in the Queen City very soon. To learn more about this road trip, log on to TheSoccerTour.com.
