Cincinnati Soccer Talk

With the international break completed, the Orange & Blue square against a familiar foe in a not-so-familiar landscape. The red side of New York wants to forget 2025 so badly that they have tweaked their team name and made a big name their new head coach. Michael Bradley's first five matches have been a mix of progress and regression, with Red Bull winning twice but losing two of their last three. So how do the Red Bulls return to prominence after missing their first MLS playoff in 15 years? Will the fountain of youth in the academy fuel New York's offense? Are there any warm bodies that can help on defense after their 6-1 loss at Charlotte? We sit down with our good friend Mark from the Seeing Red Podcast to recalibrate and recognize this altered state in the Empire State.

Geoff brings a "Jersey Swap" style edition of CST for the international break. He is joined by D.J. Switzer and Jeremy Lance, the two hosts of "Wrong Side of the Pond". For old times' sake, we go through the state of the USMNT, the World Cup qualifiers, and our favorite (and not-so-favorite) MLS kits this season.

The clubs take some early time off for the sake of country. Time to take an international break and view the U.S. soccer landscape from 30,000 feet. As much as FC Cincinnati occupies a lot of our attention, the competitive environment has expanded greatly nationwide. Even in the Tri-State area has fortified itself since the MLS call-up. Lexington SC is splashing cash to challenge Lou City in USL Championship, Indiana's Fort Wayne FC made the jump to USL League One, and Forest City Cleveland will challenge for Ohio in the 2027 MLS Next Pro season. So how do the lower leagues look in 2026, both on the pitch and on the hangers? We've asked Brett Mullenix from KIT SZN and The USL Show to give us his general glance at lower-league coverage and pick out his favorite kits from the USL universe.

Today's cup of coffee might taste a bit bitter, but maybe the morning needs a Montreal bagel for accompaniment. It's already been a difficult week for FC Cincinnati—that goes without saying. After two immense defeats on the road, the Orange & Blue have one more shot to turn the tide before the international break kicks in. CF Montreal comes into TQL Stadium with a similar record and a chance to build for the future. Head coach Marco Donadel has had the "interim" label removed from his job title, but can he produce a better result than the 3-0 loss at Cincinnati to end the season last year? We sit down with Elias from TBIR to discuss the offseason reset and the influx of young talent. Are there building blocks that could be put on display against Cincinnati? Is Club de Foot's big win over Red Bull New York an anomaly or a sign of things to come? Tune in and trade threads with us, kid! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

It's time to ship up to Boston! This weekend, FC Cincinnati trek up to New England, the newest hotbed of American soccer. While Vermont Green and Hartford Athletic are winning trophies, Portland Hearts of Pine and Rhode Island FC are winning hearts. Boston Legacy has brought women's soccer back to the Bay State, and the New England Revolution...fired their coach. Okay, so maybe not all of soccer is on fire in New England. We sit down with Caleb from Spotrac and Prost Soccer to discuss the pile of grunt work new coach Marko Mitrovic faces in reinventing the Revs. While Carles Gil and Matt Turner provide a link to the past, will this new influx of youth produce dividends? How will Mitrovic set his team against a offense-starved FC Cincinnati squad? Tune in and trade threads with us, kid! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

We've seen greatness and not-so-greatness over the first two weeks of the season. Perhaps the real test will be against a team FC Cincinnati has managed to best even during their absolute lows. Toronto FC come into town with two difficult losses under their belt, but they need one more road tilt before their home opener. The Reds have managed to clear their books of two difficult contracts, only to pull in Josh Sargent, the American striker Cincinnati had been pursuing in the past. We talk with Jeffrey from the Toronto 'Til I Die podcast to get his thoughts on the second year under head coach Robin Fraser. How does this squad operate under some of the U.S. national team's bigger pieces? And speaking of national teams, how do things look in the Great White North with the World Cup on the horizon?

Time to break out the winter scarves for this weekend's first big away trip to the chilly confines of Saint Paul. FC Cincinnati makes another heralded trek to Minnesota United, hoping to stitch multiple solid performances together. The Orange & Blue have left their history in the past, winning their last two visits to Allianz Field and leaving all memories of their worst loss ever in the snowdrifts. As much as Cincinnati has kept their roster primarily constant in the offseason, the Loons have endured a very turbulent winter with a roster that looks quite different. The promise of superstar James Rodrigues has been tempered with the uncertainty of new head coach Cam Knowles, but the first match at least brought a point back to their home opener. We talk with Dan from The Loony Bin Podcast to analyze the roster shifts and expectations. Can Minnesota alter the trend of Cincinnati taking the wins? Will we hear "Wonderwall" or "Mr. Brightside" after 90 minutes? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

With the midweek win done and dusted, we can finally focus on the meat and potatoes of the MLS regular season! Just two months away from competition feels like a hunger strike, especially after watching That Team From Florida enjoy all the fine dining last December. FC Cincinnati heads into Season 5 under Pat Noonan with some big statements to make, but let's not forget that this weekend's opponent experienced bigger disappointment after promises of gold. Atlanta United brought the band back together by rehiring their best conductor, Tata Martino, to helm the sidelines. What can we expect out of the "5 Stripes" with a similar roster and a more familiar head coach? We've brought in an old friend to the show, Tyler Pilgrim from Scarves & Spikes, to set the table for Saturday. Can Atlanta bring back the golden days of the 2010s and get back on the medal stand again? What will the Starting XI look like under Martino's guidance?

One week until meaningful soccer and the launch of a promising FC Cincinnati season! We enter Year 11 the same way as last season, with the Orange & Blue leaving the country for CONCACAF Champions Cup coverage. Soon enough, the MLS season also starts with designated players Evander, Miles Robinson, and Kevin Denkey leading a talented roster. But what are we really looking at? How promising and hopeful are we that this roster can use consistency and build from last season's hard work? We ask the FC Cincinnati radio broadcast team, Tommy G. and Kevin McCloskey, what they think about this roster and the long road ahead. (And perhaps a bit about the big tournament this summer!)

FC Cincinnati has officially played ten years of soccer for the Queen City. Fans have experienced a decade of the highest highs and lowest lows, and we here at Cincinnati Soccer Talk have been there every minute along the way. We've held wooden spoons and supporter shields with the fans. We've held the microphones in front of the players and coaches. Ever since the hosts met for their first podcast in February of 2016, CST has worked to paint the picture of Cincinnati as a soccer city. (In some cases, that paint involved actual body paint!) To open the year's first Jersey Swap podcast, we've brought in some of our alumni—Nick Seuberling, Bryan Weigel, and Bill Wolf—to talk about CST's origins and best moments. Additionally, we ask them about how confident we feel about the 2026 season. And maybe we wrap things up with a quiz to see how well the triad remember that first season!

The year 2025 was a mixed blessing for FC Cincinnati fans, but there's always more promise on the horizon. As much as the Orange & Blue left points on the table, they were still much closer to success than the 2024 season provided. However, 2026 is already weeks away, bringing with it big challenges for both club and country. What can Cincinnati do to build for the next year? What teams have already started to pack their shopping carts with talent? And while we're at it, how does the recent World Cup draw look for all of its qualified teams? We mosey up to a table with our special guest Tom Bogert from The Athletic and Soccerwise to close the book on the past season and open the next for 2026.

The sun has sadly set on FC Cincinnati for 2025. At least we can take pride in taking down our in-state rivals, but the cataclysmic wipeout against the eventual MLS Cup winners left fans searching for answers. What is it that we can glean from our 2025 squad, considering how much had to be fixed in the past offseason? Has the ship been steered toward a productive 2026, or are we still patching the leaks in the hull? We go on location to talk with stats insider Nate Gilman to crack the Orange & Blue's eggshell before we figure out to put them back together.

We've gotten the dirt sheet on the opposition, but is there more to surmise? Can FC Cincinnati ride momentum to achieve the heights from two years ago? What actually are the chances that the underdog wins? (And when we say "underdog", are we actually talking about Inter Miami?) We sit down with Jake Zivin, the play-by-play broadcaster for Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal matchup at TQL. It's easy to give opinions on the MVP candidates and designated players, but who does Jake think could play the X-factor?

Has your pulse returned to normal yet? After scratching out a seismic win that may have altered the soccer landscape in Ohio, the Orange & Blue have to take on the GOAT in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The victor between FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami just might be the heavy favorite to win the East. While Cincinnati has had Miami's number this season, we know what happened the last time both teams squared off in an elimination game. Can either side reverse-jinx the other? We bring back Kris from the Battered Herons to ask his thoughts on this season's Miami squad. Yes, Messi has just about everyone else's number, but is it possible to constrain the potent offense and pierce the susceptible defense? Does Miami need to tinker with the team, or is the performance displayed against Nashville enough to move on? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

The victory for the Orange and Blue on Saturday was one to remember. Not only did they knock Columbus out of the post season, they had to do it in comeback fashion -- something they have not done often this season. In this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, we'll recap the match, and look ahead at the Inter Miami squad who comes to town on November 23 for round 2 of the MLS playoffs.

Saturday's pivotal match between FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew will give local fans fits of dread and positivity. So many phantoms lurk from the past two seasons alone. Still, from the perspective of a third party, what are the chances that snowball in hell melts or freezes? Can Cincinnati rebound from the devastation of Match #2? Can Columbus avoid another letdown in the Queen City? To get finer points on the match, we've asked MLS Season Pass color commentator and analyst Danny Higginbotham to provide his two cents. Where does this season's "Hell Is Real" derby belong in the pantheon of soccer rivalries? What does it take for a team to capitalize in elimination games like these? Who from either side needs to produce an individual performance that lifts their team to the next round? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

With one win under their belt, FC Cincinnati looks to close things against their bitter rivals, but how dangerous is a wounded animal? Columbus has the potential to keep the series alive with a trip back to Lower.com Field this weekend, but what are we to say after everything that took place in Match #1? Do the Crew have a lifeline left? We sit down with Patrick, the managing editor from Massive Report, to process and dissect the 1-0 Cincinnati win last Monday. What went right enough for fans in Columbus to feel good about their chances in the next match? Where do the likes of Daniel Gazdag and Jacen Russell-Rowe fit into a possible Starting XI?
