The exit was premature, but it’s time to wind down the season. While the FC Cincinnati first team came up short of expectations, the second team shattered the glass ceiling in MLS Next Pro. We invite local guy Tyler who runs the MLS Next Pro beat to talk about the FC Cincinnati 2 season, Tyrone Marshall's award-winning work, and how the future looks for the team and the MLSNP league in general.

Each match from now on counts as a potential eliminator. If FC Cincinnati wants to get a home slate against Red Bulls, they'll need to go through their brothers from the Five Boroughs. We bring in Andrew from Hudson River Blue to talk about this pivotal clash and how the Pigeons—yes, that's their accepted nickname—changed their strategy to force the rubber match. Will it change again with NYCFC on the road, a situation they've had trouble with this season? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

It's rare for us to get direct communication with writers and broadcasters from the team coming to TQL Stadium. That being said, it's hard to turn down the opportunity to talk with Austin David, the digital content manager for Orlando City SC. Austin has been in and out of the Orlando soccer scene, filling multiple roles both inside and outside of the team since 2012. We chat with him to get some insight on the Wingless Lions' incredible midseason turnaround and what both teams need to be aware of when OCSC comes to town to face FC Cincinnati.

Fresh off a four-point road trip, FC Cincinnati faces off against an LAFC squad that is both reeling from MLS season woes and celebrating a U.S. Open Cup victory. We bring on Erik from VOBG to gauge just how heavy the hangover is with another cup in the trophy case. Can this LAFC squad turn things around in the regular season? Do the Orange & Blue have a shot against the Black & Gold? Is Carlos Vela a savior or an anchor? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

Time to trek down to Tennessee for our next seasonal clash, as FC Cincinnati looks to extract some revenge on the Nashvillains. We talk with Valair from Broadway Sports to discuss the current state of Nashville SC under new head coach B.J. Callaghan. Have the Boys in Gold figured out how to repair their broken record, or is it more of the same song and dance? How will Saturday's matchup shake out, and when will this rivalry ever get a name?

We say it every time the circus comes to town, but this match is the one you clear your calendars for. The next chapter of Hell Is Real is about to be written, so we bring in Caleb from Massive Report to put pen to paper. Has the city of Columbus embraced the Leagues Cup trophy?

Two weeks until the next big MLS matchup, but let’s not twiddle our thumbs. We're taking a slight detour on FC Cincinnati coverage to embrace the international break. Time to take Jersey Swap to global heights!

Two teams in tailspins clash on Saturday, but is CF Montreal in worse condition than the walking wounded at FC Cincinnati? We talk with Andy from The Ball Is Round to get his perspective from the City of Saints. Does head coach Laurent Courtois have any magic remaining from his time in the Columbus Crew academy, or are the CFM’s hopes as flimsy as papier mâché?

FC Cincinnati look to hang ten against Inter Miami in the Magic City, but how much revenge are the Herons looking to extract from the Orange & Blue for the previous tidal wave in Ohio?

The student and the master meet once again, this time with different hardware available at the end of the adventure, but have the roles been reversed? Does Pat Noonan's squad have all of the power in their hands, or is this just a Jedi mind trick from Philadelphia? We ask JP from PHLY Union Podcast if he feels the midseason swoon by the Union was a mirage and if Philly can eliminate Cincy in another knockout round.

One match down, and one to go before the Leagues Cup knockout round cranks into gear. We talk with Trey from the Blue Balls Podcast to get his thoughts on NYCFC, our next opponent in this midseason competition. He gives us the lowdown on the NYC stadium situation (check out The Outfield for more on that), as well as his general analysis of the Pigeons' slow turnaround from cellar-dwellers to playoff threateners.

The off-week between the All-Star Break and the Leagues Cup makes it the perfect time to reset and recover, but what if we brought our two podcasters into the same room to record? Geoff and Coach Gough from our Talking Tactics podcast took some time to pull off a mashup of Talking Tactics and Jersey Swap, recording in the newest "Mod Men" suite provided by Retro Retreats. What do our experts think about the newest addition in center-back Chidozie Awaziem? How would they say the past half-season has gone? What are we to expect out of the upcoming Leagues Cup and MLS Cup playoffs?

Nine times? Nine times. That’s how many times FC Cincinnati and the Red Bulls have tangled over the past three seasons. Geoff sits down with Daniel from Area Sports Network to predict how the tenth matchup will go. How different will New York look after transferring out the player FCC fans loved to loathe?

The Buckeye State has been called a hotbed for soccer in the United States, but don't sleep on the Tarheel State! The first clash between the Queen Cities ended without a victor, so let’s see if the rubber match can determine one between Cincinnati and Charlotte. We talk with Luke from the Queen City Soccer Show to get his thoughts on the Crown’s roster, what Charlotte FC will need to win on the road, and how Dean Smith can prepare the squad for a playoff run.

The road trips have been nothing but feasts for FC Cincinnati, but the home cooking hasn't been so palatable. That doesn't mean that the next matchup against the beasts of the East--an Inter Miami squad without its stars--isn't enough to make your mouth water. We sit down with Jay and Than from the Inter Miami Podcast to learn about the other pieces on Tata Martino's chessboard and get their views on the sea change that has taken place on South Beach.

The pressure cooker just keeps getting higher, as a wounded FC Cincinnati squad travels to the Lone Star State to take on the Toros of FC Dallas. We sit down with Jose, the founder of GOLZ TV, to talk about his passion project and his love for D-Town. Does Dallas have enough in the talent pool to make a splash against the Orange & Blue, or can FCC venture into the plains and back with all three points?

Can't Geoff go five minutes without breaking into his Kennedy accent? We bring back Sam from the Blazing Musket to talk about the upcoming "reunion" between FC Cincinnati and the Revs' head coach Caleb Porter.

The international break is (somewhat) over, and it’s time for the Orange & Blue to swing to the West Coast.

Almost four months in the books! Time to wash out the grass stains and sweat marks to get things ready for the next half-season! Geoff sits down with D.J. and Jeremy, two institutions in Cincinnati who have given us glimpses of European football and American soccer on their "Wrong Side of the Pond" podcast.
