Cincinnati Soccer Talk

The last time Hell descended upon Ohio, the Crew scored the vital home win over a Cincinnati squad with a shoddy away form. This time around, Columbus comes back to the scene of their harshest derby defeat. Both Ohio-based teams are struggling to make the MLS Cup playoffs again. However, while FC Cincinnati is struggling, Columbus might be peaking at the right time. The offense has been burning fuel at an impressive pace, but can they go full throttle without risking combustion in the defending half? We talk with Michael Arace, former beat writer for the Columbus Dispatch and founder of The Disrespected, to view the Buckeye State chess board. Can FC Cincinnati stop this rising tide?

A win over Atlanta United is one thing, but the competition threatens to remain fierce on the way to the MLS Cup playoffs. Cincinnati hit a major reality checkpoint earlier this season against the New England Revolution, so the second leg should be a good measuring stick for the rest of the season. The Revs have been consistent in their quest to return to the postseason, but a pair of 3-0 losses seem to have derailed their momentum. Perhaps there is a weakness in the New England armor after all? We sit down with Sam from The Blazing Musket to look closer at the minute changes made to this Revolution squad. Have their transfers left them toothless on defense? Are the injuries piling up? Is the USMNT talent on Marko Mitrovic's squad enough for higher Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Check out the Blazing Musket for New England soccer news and coverage!

The sprint to the MLS Cup playoffs kicks back into full gear in a similar way the regular season started. FC Cincinnati began the 2026 voyage with a win over Atlanta United. However, since that first step, both teams have been struggling to match standards that made them past behemoths. The Cincinnati defense has been a constant concern with unproven methods. Meanwhile, Atlanta United have thrown the kitchen sink on offense with little to show. However, the summer transfer window might provide answers now that all the pieces are in play. We talk with Doug Roberson, former writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, to get his spin on the Five Stripes' season. Can Atlanta still regain the success from Tata Martino's first stint? Do the new pieces around Miguel Almiron fit well enough for the postseason to still be a reality?
