I've watched a lot of soccer in my lifetime being a fan of one of that red team in Manchester. I've subscribed to MLS DirectKick the past four seasons, I'll even sit down and watch Liga MX en Español. Saturday night was first for me. I was so excited to watch FC Cincinnati launch their inaugural season on Saturday night. I can't say I've ever sat through an entire soccer match on Youtube. Check that experience off my bucket list. Even with all the matches I've seen in my life, Saturday night's loss felt different to me. Maybe it's because I actually have a connection to a team for the first time in my life. Here's to hoping the good guys can start their winning ways this weekend in Pennsylvania. On to the show!

We opened this week's show by discussing the great turnout by fans at Rhinehaus to watch FC Cincinnati take on Charleston Battery. It was a fantastic game to watch online as well. Despite the 1-0 loss, there were some positives to take away from this match. What were the positives YOU took away from this match?

We also looked ahead to Sunday's match against Bethlehem Steel. The Steel are coming off a 1-0 win over FC Montreal in Canada on Friday night to kick off the USL season. Just like Charleston's goal was a fluke against us, Bethlehem's goal was a bit of a fluke as well.

We finished up the show by discussing the upcoming meet and greet on Thursday night at Rheingeist. Plus season tickets have mailed out to season ticket holders! Have you received yours? What are your thoughts?

Plus we also give our score predictions for Sunday's Bethlehem Steel - FC Cincinnati match.
