Soccer City

With Charlotte FC on the verge of 10 wins in a row which would set a record for longest win streak in Major League Soccer History, we've called in a big gun.

MLS Legend Sacha Klejstan joins us from the Apple MLS Season Pass crew to preview the Crown's Saturday Afternoon Showdown in New York City, and brag on the skills of Idan Toklomati, the leadership of Wilfried Zaha, and the culture created by Dean Smith & Ashley Westwood.

Plus: Why Pep Biel should NOT jump right back into the starting XI after his return from injury.

It's a history-chasing episode and it's always For the Crown, Baby!

John Hayes makes his debut on Decoding the Presser! Dean Smith talks about Charlotte FC's MLS record win streak, The Crown's trophy hunt, star striker Idan Toklomati & the trip to the Bronx this weekend for a high-stakes matchup vs. NYCFC

Even the GOAT, Lionel Messi, couldn’t derail Charlotte FC’s unstoppable run! The Crown rolled to a 3–0 win thanks to Idan Toklomati’s stunning hat trick, tying the Seattle Sounders’ MLS record with nine straight victories. John Hayes and Danny Brams break it all down, with special guest Matt Geslin joining to share his behind-the-lens view of the action.

A massive matchup calls for a massive guest and we couldn't be happier to welcome longtime analyst Warren Barton to the show to break down Charlotte FC's chase for win streak history against Inter Miami and Lionel Messi.

Warren identifies a few keys to the match that should allow the Crown to find some joy, especially with an inspiring attitude from Wilfried Zaha headed into the match, and a promising injury update on El Mago Pep Biel.

It's the biggest dose of hype you could possibly hope to receive ahead of Saturday's showdown at the Fortress, and as always it's For the Crown, Baby!

John and Danny have the build up for the biggest game of the season vs. Inter Miami. What's on the line? The MLS record of 9 straight wins and The Crown's playoff home field advantage hopes. Dean Smith and Luis Suarez are both suspended for the match...for very different reasons. Can The Crown get it done?

It's getting real for Charlotte FC with just 7 matches left in the MLS regular season and still needing to solidify a playoff berth. One way to do that would be continuing the 6-match win streak the Crown currently sits on, and some incoming transfers should help the cause of keeping the form we saw in a 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

That victory was definitely helped with an epic, tone-setting coronation ceremony with Carolina Panthers Great Roman Harper, who went stone cold with a double-fisted chug on the throne and fired up the entire stadium.

Roman joins John and Danny to peel back the curtain and break it all down in one of the best episodes we've ever had...it's truly For the Crown, Baby!

Archie, Archie Archie...Oi! Oi!! Oi!!!

20-year-old Australian striker Archie Goodwin has arrived in the Queen City brimming with confidence, looking to win a starting job, and flashing a brilliant smile. The A-League golden boot winner from last season met the Charlotte media and shared details on turning pro as an early teenager, growing up a Liverpool fan, and keeping his mum busy as the oldest of three rambunctious brothers.

Goodwin clearly sees that he's entered the Crown camp as a backup option to Idan Toklomati, but wasn't shy about his ability to offer "healthy competition" for the starting striker spot, and his history of stepping off from the bench and into the spotlight in his previous career stop at Adelaide United.

DannyBrams has clearly fallen under Archie's spell early on, and after watching this, you might as well...It's For the Crown, Baby!

Charlotte FC has a new left back who's already enjoying the Southern Hospitality after traveling to the Carolinas from his native UK.

Danny Brams is here to break down what Harry Toffolo had to say in his introductory press conference, and also has some bonus content with Tim Ream previewing The Crown's upcoming match vs Real Salt Lake.

It's the reaction to the reaction to the reaction and it's always For the Crown, Baby!

Charlotte FC has won 5 straight games for the first time in club history. John and Danny are at Dom's dive bar!

Despite 3 wins in a row (and 4 unbeaten on the spin!) there remains zero margin for error for Charlotte FC this weekend at home to face Toronto in the final MLS match before Leagues Cup begins.

Dean Smith talked about momentum and mentality and DannyBrams is here to listen to everything the Gaffer had to say, and react to it. The British-isms abound as we break down exactly how the Crown is feeling going into yet another must-win match...plus we get a bonus shoutout to the Prince of Freaking Darkness.

It's for the Crown, Baby!
