A lot to talk about this week as Charlotte celebrates its first MLS All-Star events!  But first, Charlotte FC traveled to clinch an away win and clean sheet against the Red Bulls, 2-nil. Goals by All-Stars Pep Biel and Ashley Westwood were made of pure class while Kahlina and the defensive line earned only the third clean sheet on the season. Then USMNT defender Tim Ream showed his professional skill with near-deadly precision and accuracy in the 2026 MLS All-Star Skills Passing Challenge, bringing home the win and a trophy for his efforts. And finally, Ream, Biel, and Westwood earn debuts as MLS All-Stars in a match that tallies a win for Coach Dean Smith but truly showcases multiple All-Stars MLS talent in goal contributions and standout performances. Also back on topic is transfers and rumors and the performances of those who might be called on to fill in for the lack of depth.

It's the Summer of Soccer, and the Queens have been living the World Cup! But MLS is finally back, and Charlotte FC takes on the rivalry with Atlanta at home and despite going up two goals, still loses the advantage ending up with a 2-2 draw. For the first time in 2026, DP Liel Abada gets a goal to follow up Kerwin Vargas's topbin, but it's clear that the team is shaking off the rust from the long break. After the queens talk their experience of the World Cup (and their hiatus--shhhh), it's back to business and reviewing this latest performance. And be sure to catch the end of the episode for this week's upcoming MLS All-Star Events, some of which happen this weekend!

Does Charlotte FC get lucky with this much-needed 3-1 win at home against Toronto? After all, a host of refereeing decisions actually went Charlotte's way *gasp!* WHAATTT? From Toronto's goal called back to an awarded penalty, this match cooked with action and surprises, giving the fans something to root for with one match to go before the break.

Charlotte FC makes it six matches with zero wins despite being back at home as they fought back to draw Cincinnati 2-2 and then lost 1-nil to NYCFC. The queens talk it all—goals, cards, suspensions, mistakes, and more.

First Charlotte FC fall to I-85 rival Atlanta in the Open Cup and then suffer a penalty loss at the death in New England. Why can’t Charlotte do well in Open Cup? Was that NE call justifiable for a pen or was Charlotte robbed of a draw? Why is Zaha constantly getting the yellow cards? All these questions and more in this double header episode.

Charlotte FC has sprung a leak! The queens discuss hemorrhaging goals and firm losses against Orlando and Nashville in this double header episode. There are some obvious questions right now as injuries and back to back games recall previous spring slumps and one question on everyone's minds is whether this a top tier team or just mid-level?

In this double header episode, the queens talk the Open Cup Charlotte Derby with Charlotte Independence and the away match against NYCFC. Both end in goals and wins, but does Charlotte FC feel like a winning team? And with Dean Smith giving a chance to the young guys, who's making the most of it?
