Cincinnati Soccer Talk

The international break could not have come at a better time. Momentum tends to shift at extended pauses, and FC Cincinnati could use that to get back onto the winning track. Perhaps it could also help cool down our opponents on Saturday--the New England Revolution have not lost in MLS play since the Orange & Blue took them down at home in April. So what's in the clam chowder these days in New England? How has Caleb Porter gone from the hot seat to the driver's seat? The Revs have had some difficult injuries to play through, so why is the team undefeated since April? We get Sam from the Blazing Musket to talk about New England's change to a familiar formation and major performances from new faces. Let's not forget that it's not all Massachusetts up there--perhaps we can talk about what's going on in the other five states?

The international break finally gives us some time to stretch and recollect our bearings, but we at the Jersey Swap podcast never rest. The laundry always needs to be done! With the Club World Cup occupying TQL Stadium for a few weeks, we're focusing on this revised tournament with an expanded field of podcasters. We've invited Daniel Solana from Arriba Bolso!, Nate Janulis from We Are Soccer, Kenta Hagiwara from the Asian Futbol Show, and CST's own Jose Guerra to tackle all six global soccer confederations. What teams are treating this club tournament as a serious competition? What teams have the best shot at getting the lion's share of 1 billion FIFA bucks? Hell, do we really think this competition should have been expanded at all? The biggest Jersey Swap to date in scale and land coverage will cover all of the continents!

A promising first half and an epic collapse in the second half led to a 3-3 draw with FC Dallas. But the storyline that seemed bigger than the shift in momentum was the return of Lucho Acosta to the roaring sounds of "boos" at TQL. We have a lot to discuss in this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk and we hope you will join the conversation.

With the international break and Club World Cup right around the corner, FC Cincinnati finally sees the top of the mountain, the halfway point in the season. The next home opponent clocks in after a five-game winless patch, but D.C. United may have been able to figure out their defensive woes. Now, if only Troy Lesesne's team could jump-start their offense... We chat with Gregory Roche from Pitch Pass to get some background on how the dynamic has changed at the District. Is there any insight towards playoff soccer or even a solution in the next transfer window? Does D.C. have a shot at all three points with the leaky FCC defense? And perhaps we spend some time to bond over our exes... Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

Sunday Night Soccer was a rough experience for FC Cincinnati as they took a hard road loss to Atlanta United, a team that has been struggling with only 4 goals in a winless 8 game stretch. Despite the odds being in Cincy's favor, the Five Stripes dropped 4 goals in this one, doubling Cincinnati's offensive output. But the biggest loss of the match was the Cincinnati Kid, Nick Hagglund, who suffered two broken ribs and a collapsed lung in a 10th minute collision with Emmanuel Latte Lath. In episode 421 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach and Jose discuss the match, the missed chances and the missed calls that sent the Orange and Blue home without a point.

For the second home match in a row, FC Cincinnati hosts a Texas squad with a new head coach and a former team superstar. While the Orange & Blue managed to tame Austin FC and Brandon Vazquez last time, the bonds may be tested this time. Former MLS MVP and FCC captain Luciano Acosta comes to town after a difficult offseason breakup and transfer to FC Dallas. We ask Buzz from 3rd Degree to give us a tour of the facilities. Eric Quill's first season as head coach has proven to be a test for Los Toros. After trading away club legend Jesus Ferreira, how does Dallas look now? Are the playoffs and silverware a realistic possibility? Most of all, how well has Lucho integrated into the team dynamic?

The last time the Orange & Blue crossed paths with The Five Stripes at TQL Stadium, both teams came out even from a barn-burner of a match. While FC Cincinnati has remained relatively hot, Atlanta United has been trying to reignite their spark, going eight matches winless. The teams intersect paths again on Sunday to finish this season's second leg. What happened to the promise of a high-octane offense and dreams of additions to the trophy case? What can team president Garth Lagerway and head coach Ronny Deila do to reverse course? We sit down with Tommy from Scarves and Spikes to cover Atlanta's major purchases and how they are fitting with the pre-existing roster. More importantly, what's this about a "brisket grilled cheese" being served at the Benz? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

It only took 6 minutes for Kevin Denkey to introduce himself to Columbus in the latest edition of Hell is Real. But as we've come to expect from the best rivalry in MLS, there is no space to sit comfortably on a lead. If Cincinnati had any advantage in the first half, the Crew made all the right adjustments and were relentless in their attack in the second half, eventually scoring on a Diego Rossi kick from the spot. The match ended in a 1-1 draw keeping FCC ahead of the Crew but causing them to lose a little ground to Philadelphia who now sits atop the Eastern Conference due to their early season victory over the FCC. Join us tonight at 9:00 for the full breakdown of this version of Hell is Real, a look ahead at the Atlanta match, and little US Men's National Team talk.

Cincinnati continues to collect points during this important stretch of the season and they are doing so with some spectacular goals by striker, Kevin Denkey. Wednesday night's 1-0 win in Toronto makes 2 wins in a row and 7 wins in their last 8 matches. But that streak will be challenged this Saturday, as the Orange and Blue travel to Columbus, OH for the first Hell is Real fixture of the season. As it stands now, FC Cincinnati sits alone atop the Eastern Conference and they are looking to keep it that way with a victory in Columbus.
