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. (We are, after all, the "Jersey Swap" podcast for a reason.) Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

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!
