The student and the master meet once again, this time with different hardware available at the end of the adventure, but have the roles been reversed? Does Pat Noonan's squad have all of the power in their hands, or is this just a Jedi mind trick from Philadelphia? We ask JP from PHLY Union Podcast if he feels the midseason swoon by the Union was a mirage and if Philly can eliminate Cincy in another knockout round.

FC Cincinnati forward Aaron Boupendza pulled off an Easter miracle with a stoppage time goal in the Queen City Derby. How did the recently returned PSRA refs disappoint and who were the unsung heroes from Saturday? Join the group as we dive into the latest on #FCCincy.

The Buckeye State has been called a hotbed for soccer in the United States, but don't sleep on the Tarheel State! The first clash between the Queen Cities ended without a victor, so let’s see if the rubber match can determine one between Cincinnati and Charlotte. We talk with Luke from the Queen City Soccer Show to get his thoughts on the Crown’s roster, what Charlotte FC will need to win on the road, and how Dean Smith can prepare the squad for a playoff run.

It's a new year, a new season, and a new set of jerseys to swap! FC Cincinnati begins their tenth year in existence with another trailblazing venture into the CONCACAF Champions Cup this month. Last season, the Orange & Blue coasted past Cavalier F.C. before bowing to Monterrey's mastery in Mexico.

With that experience under their belt, can FC Cincinnati wander further into the unknown? We bring on play-by-play announcer George D. Metellus to give us his perspective from calling last year's first round matches. George's virtual passport has spanned the world, so who better to give us a tour of the tournament?

Who does George see as the teams to beat in this year's CCC? Do the underdogs of North and Central America have any bite? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer

Not an official episode, We throw out the script and just chat about FC Cincinnati. Where they are and where we think they can go. Wherever the conversation will take us. Brian is down in the Carolina's getting ready to watch Nati SC. Justin just mowed his lawn. One of those weeks.

Coverage on Nati SC coming this week.

Highlights from this week's show.

As much as it appears the sky is falling for FC Cincinnati, that comes from intense pressure and high expectations. The Orange & Blue's next opponents, Atlanta United, are also under the microscope from a rough first month after a massive offseason. It doesn't help that both squads are depleted from injury and international duties.

We talk with Jason from Soccer Down Here and his work at 92.9 The Game to read the temperature before Saturday's match. Where do the Five Stripes stand after Miami gained an ounce of revenge last Sunday? How complete is Atlanta with so many players heading to World Cup qualifiers?

Fresh off a four-point road trip, FC Cincinnati faces off against an LAFC squad that is both reeling from MLS season woes and celebrating a U.S. Open Cup victory. We bring on Erik from VOBG to gauge just how heavy the hangover is with another cup in the trophy case. Can this LAFC squad turn things around in the regular season? Do the Orange & Blue have a shot against the Black & Gold? Is Carlos Vela a savior or an anchor?

The road trips have been nothing but feasts for FC Cincinnati, but the home cooking hasn't been so palatable. That doesn't mean that the next matchup against the beasts of the East--an Inter Miami squad without its stars--isn't enough to make your mouth water.

For three years, fans of FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC have disputed which is the true "Queen City". However, that may be where the differences end. Head-to-head results have not resolved anything—both teams have two wins over the other, and both have retooled their attacks and fortified their defenses in order to challenge the beasts of the East.

We know of the big addition of Wilfried Zaha atop the attack, but how else has head coach Dean Smith polished the Crown? Can the defense replicate their conference-best performance from 2024? What have the first three matches said about the state of CFC? We talk with Anna about the sea change in the Tar Heel State and Charlotte's progression towards the top.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK’S SHOW.

As the rain fell in Cincinnati and five of FCC's regular starters not even available for the match, there was little hope of coming away with 3 points. But thanks to a heads up play by Pavel Bucha and a sneaky run from Sergios Santos, Cincinnati found the breakthrough they needed.

In episode 413 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach, Nathan and Boston break down the win against the Revs, discuss the validity of recent transfer rumors and share their thoughts on FCC's progress so far this season.

The CONCACAF Champions Cup is in full swing, but to advance to the quarterfinals, FC Cincinnati will have to pull on Superman's cape. C.F. Monterrey from Liga MX come to TQL Stadium for a massive two-legged matchup, meaning that the Orange & Blue will cross paths with local legend Brandon Vazquez.

Even with a much more dynamic offensive performance than they've shown in recent weeks, the Orange and Blue looked to be playing for a point late in this week's match against Nashville SC. But thanks to the sharp eyes of referee, Drew Fischer, FCC was awarded a penalty that put them ahead in the 92nd minute and eventually gave them all three points in the Music City.

In episode 412 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Jason, Coach, Justin and Brian recap the match, shout out some stand out performances, and consider what this showing could mean for some key upcoming matches.

It should be labeled a "derby" by all definitions. The distance between the Music City and Queen City remains quite drivable. However, the average FC Cincinnati fan and average Nashville SC fan probably wouldn't admit that the other is a rival. There's still no solid point of contention between both squads.

The trend in both squads to start the season may indicate a much closer rivalry in 2025. While the Orange & Blue have started lukewarm, the "Boys in Gold" to the south are on a hot streak. Before Saturday's matchup, we talk with Tim from the Club & Country podcast to see just how well new head coach B.J. Callaghan is cooking with his retooled roster.

Since the dawn of Pat Noonan's tenure, the “Master vs. Student” showdown has fueled the matchup between Cincinnati and Philadelphia. But time marches on—Jim Curtin has left, and Noonan has finally become the teacher. What has become of the Union, now that the coaching carousel has come to town?

For this sparring session, we bring in JP Zapata, "El Parcero Philly" himself, to tap gloves between Big Brother and Little Brother. This time around, the roles may be reversed with FC Cincinnati as the prizefighter, but if Philadelphia's win over Orlando says anything, the Union still have a puncher's chance. (After all, we saw what the Birds did to Kansas City!)

The new MLS season is upon us!

Expectations for FC Cincinnati are higher than ever before, but every journey starts with a single step. The biggest hurdle may be to bust the ghosts from the past season—the Orange & Blue lost both matchups against the eventual 2024 MLS Cup finalists, the New York Red Bulls.

Head coach Sandro Schwarz has retooled by exchanging youth for European experience with some big names incorporated into the roster over the past few years. Will that be the key to get New York their next bit of silverware? Will FCC rediscover the key to beating the Bulls? We sit down with Daniel from Area Sports Network to see if we can learn anything from the past year and if the Red Bulls' staunch defense from last season is penetrable. (Maybe even ask who the next villain could be in the rivalry?)

Almost four months in the books! Time to wash out the grass stains and sweat marks to get things ready for the next half-season! Geoff sits down with D.J. and Jeremy, two institutions in Cincinnati who have given us glimpses of European football and American soccer on their "Wrong Side of the Pond" podcast. How did they get started rolling out over a decade's worth of material? How do they grade the current MLS season? How far do they think the Orange & Blue can go?

With both teams missing a significant amount starters to international duty, injury or suspension, this match up looked to be less than ideal. Though the final result came in as a 2-2 draw, there were some bright spots for the Orange and Blue. Nick Hagglund made his first start since his injury. Evander got on the ball in dangerous spots and scored a brace. And Brad Smith made his debut by bringing some pace and new energy down the left flank.

In episode 411 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach, Nick, and Cliff will breakdown the match and discuss whether or not it's time to panic.

Tony Husband from MLS Season Pass also plans to drop by to discuss the upcoming match in Nashville.

As the team heads to Clearwater, Florida to continue preseason training and test out the team chemistry in four friendlies, there are still a few empty seats on the plane. While Luca Orellano arrived on Friday, a few key players are still holding out.

How much will those absences impact how this team prepares for their match this Friday against C.F. Montreal? More importantly, how will those absences impact FCC's overall style of play and who will be serving the ball in to the sixteen million dollar man, Kevin Denkey.

The pressure cooker just keeps getting higher, as a wounded FC Cincinnati squad travels to the Lone Star State to take on the Toros of FC Dallas. We sit down with Jose, the founder of GOLZ TV, to talk about his passion project and his love for D-Town. Does Dallas have enough in the talent pool to make a splash against the Orange & Blue, or can FCC venture into the plains and back with all three points?

It's rare for us to get direct communication with writers and broadcasters from the team coming to TQL Stadium. That being said, it's hard to turn down the opportunity to talk with Austin David, the digital content manager for Orlando City SC. Austin has been in and out of the Orlando soccer scene, filling multiple roles both inside and outside of the team since 2012. We chat with him to get some insight on the Wingless Lions' incredible midseason turnaround and what both teams need to be aware of when OCSC comes to town to face FC Cincinnati.

Coach Gough and Justin Hoyte break down FC Cincinnati's home opener, a 0-0 draw with Toronto FC. They discuss the performance of FCC’s two new wingbacks and why the team struggled so much to progress the ball in the first half.

The guys also ask whether or not this team’s striker depth is going to be an ongoing concern, and much more!

FC Cincinnati fall to NYCFC in penalties to end their 2024 season. The proverbial page seems to have been turned as Lucho Acosta mentions that Saturday may have been his final match with FC Cincinnati. Do you have confidence that you will see Lucho back at TQL Stadium again?

Will possible signing, Kévin Denkey of Cercle Brugge be the game-changing Forward that has been promised? Moves for the 2025 season appear to be imminent. Lets us know what you think!

Highlights from this week's show.

Highlights from this week's show.

Believe it or not, FC Cincinnati is about ready to celebrate their 10th season of professional football-soccer-Fußball this year! That's ten years of abject joy, regional pride, and celebration (with a few years of bottom-of-the-barrel misery in the middle).

However, there is no time to party just yet--the Orange & Blue start their packed schedule in less than one week! How quickly can FC Cincinnati transition to 90-minute fitness and take on two matches in two different countries over four days?

This week, we sit down with Tommy G to get his thoughts on what 2025 will mean to FC Cincinnati and reflect on the past decade as the voice of the Orange & Blue. (Dare we ask if that voice is insured for laryngitis?)

Note from the podcaster: This podcast was recorded before the news on Lucho Acosta's trade to FC Dallas, so some information is already past its expiration date. Please take that news with a barrel of salt.

Highlights from this week's show.

Both FC Cincinnati and New England Revolution rode a set piece and a late penalty kick to capture 2-1 victories last week. Both teams needed wins to flip momentum in their seasons. However, while the Orange & Blue used a scalpel to refine their roster in the offseason, the Revs opted for a machete. Head coach Caleb Porter has almost flipped the full squad, but results have been scant to start the season.

We asked Thomas from Revolution Recap about the changes in the offseason and the confidence the fans may have in Porter's system. When does the panic button come into play, especially with some key parts still missing? While we're at it, how hot in the Northeast this season in the lower leagues?

Highlights from this week's show.

Though the match was far from flawless, Cincinnati stole their first ever home win against RBNY at TQL in their MLS home opener of 2025. Stats would show RBNY with the advantage in most categories, but stats don't always matter with a player like Kevin Denkey wreaking havoc on the RedBull back line. And in the end it was Celentano with the clean sheet and Denkey with the game winner on a header reminiscent of Djibi Fall's double doink that knocked the Crew from the Open Cup and put FCC in the national spotlight. 

This is episode 404 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk and our hosts, Brian, Coach, Nick, and José, along with special guest, Alejandro Delgado from  @nacionfcc9313 , are here to talk about the team we all love and their win against a team we all love to hate.

The cherry blossoms are gone at the nation's capital, but hardly forgotten. The memories of D.C. United's bad loss to San Jose also have not faded from the District. However, FC Cincinnati fans can attest to the fact that bad losses could be followed by great wins.

The two teams clash at Audi Field this weekend, so we invited José Umaña and Mario Amaya (no relation to Frankie) from The Bad Hombres FC Podcast to talk about how head coach Troy Lesesne is directing traffic. Yes, Christian Benteke is a force to be reckoned, but who else should the Orange & Blue watch for? Have the Black & Red resolved their defensive woes from last season?

Significant changes could be ahead for FC Cincinnati! It appears that talisman Lucho Acosta has one foot out the door, but could league-record signing, Kévin Denkey of Cercle Brugge be the player who can deliver FC Cincinnati to the promised land?

How will Chris Albright manage the 2024-25 offseason? Listen as the guys give some thoughts on the Salary Budget and a wrinkle that could play large dividends into 2026.

Each match from now on counts as a potential eliminator. If FC Cincinnati wants to get a home slate against Red Bulls, they'll need to go through their brothers from the Five Boroughs. We bring in Andrew from Hudson River Blue to talk about this pivotal clash and how the Pigeons—yes, that's their accepted nickname—changed their strategy to force the rubber match. Will it change again with NYCFC on the road, a situation they've had trouble with this season?

Highlights from this week's show.

Time to trek down to Tennessee for our next seasonal clash, as FC Cincinnati looks to extract some revenge on the Nashvillains. We talk with Valair from Broadway Sports to discuss the current state of Nashville SC under new head coach B.J. Callaghan. Have the Boys in Gold figured out how to repair their broken record, or is it more of the same song and dance? How will Saturday's matchup shake out, and when will this rivalry ever get a name? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer

As much as FC Cincinnati's fortunes have flipped from bad to better, the times in Toronto have become difficult. It's been over a calendar year since the Reds from Canada came to visit the Orange & Blue, and it's been over three years since Toronto FC have won over Cincinnati. Can the team from La Ville-Reine—the "Queen City" of Canada—find their footing under a new coach?

We talk with Jeffrey from the "Toronto Til I Die" podcast to get his thoughts on Toronto's chances. With a fairly unchanged roster bogged down by an expensive anchor of a contract, how does he feel Saturday's match will go? Does this hotel have a high top floor, or is down the only way on this elevator?

The Orange and Blue traveled to North Carolina this past Saturday to face a very good Charlotte FC team and unfortunately, they came home empty handed. The offensive fire power has stalled. The back line looks leaky. And depth continues to be an issue with injuries, a red card, and international duty.

Fans are beginning to ask some questions. But are they justified or just a bunch of knee-jerk overreactions?

Join Brian, Coach, Cliff and Bill for episode 410 of Cincinnati Soccer as they recap the Charlotte match, address the fan reaction and look ahead to Atlanta coming to TQL.
