Pat Brennan is BACK! He joins Kevin, The Chief, and Grayson for the full hour to discuss how FC Cincinnati's season has gone so far. Does Cincy move on from Brenner this summer? Does Ronald Matarrita come back this year? Is this team making the playoffs? Is Cincinnati going to host World Cup matches? So much to dive into on this one. No timestamps on the conversation as it's all one big mess of FC Cincinnati talk. But follow Pat's work @PBrennanENQ on twitter and take out an Enquirer subscription to support local journalism.

Kevin, The Chief, and Das Harkes talk about the last two weeks of FC Cincinnati before the international break and where the team needs to improve, the national team came to town and everyone online (and wearing the captain's armband) were mad about it, and finally the podcast ends with some real reasons to get hyped about June 16th and the possibility of the World Cup coming to Cincinnati.
