Cincinnati Soccer Talk

The United States, Mexico, and Canada all struggle and crash in the Round of 16. The World Cup host still hasn't won the trophy in 28 years.  Geoff, Jose, and Brian focus on the USMNT loss to Belgium and assess where U.S. soccer goes from here. And we DO have FC Cincinnati soccer in the near future to discuss again! FOR MORE CST CONTENT VISIT US ONLINE: https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com   SUPPORT C...

The World Cup group stages are finished, and all three hosts are moving on. However, the United States hit a rough patch against Turkiye by resting their starters. Are we concerned?   Geoff, Jose, and Jason look towards the Round of 32 match against Bosnia & Herzegovina, as well as the other upcoming knockout-round matches   FOR MORE CST CONTENT VISIT US ONLINE  https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com  ...

While the World Cup was expected to have its hiccups in the planning and preparatory stages, can we say that it's been a mild success yet? Do the powerful exhibitions by the favorites, the successes of the hosts, and the unexpected draws by smaller countries have you locked in for the rest of the tournament? Geoff, Jose, and Josh are joined by Bryan Weigel, fresh from his own trip to watch the U.S...

In case you missed out on our live Oakley Greens show before the United States Men's National Team commanded Paraguay 4-1, we've got you covered! Geoff, Jason, Coach, Jose, and Jacob previewed the 2026 World Cup as well as the matchup with Paraguay. They also called upon FC Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano for his opinion on the tournament's potential and the immortals from the grand stage th...

The calendar flips almost instantly, and while club activities go under midseason hibernation, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is almost here. It's time to see how many of the 48 teams performing at the United States, Canada, and Mexico are really high caliber and stand a chance at hoisting the cup. While the finals in 2022 took place between two former winners in Argentina and France, they both had to ge...

For years, the shoes have been on the wrong feet. The Boys in Orange & Blue have won on the road at Orlando, but they haven't been able to defend the castle well enough when the Pride from the South comes to TQL Stadium. That's what makes the next matchup at home all the more inquisitive. Neither FC Cincinnati nor Orlando City SC have met expectations in 2026. Cincinnati has struggled defensively,...

For decades, San Diego has been a hotbed of soccer, but mostly the indoor kind. The San Diego Sockers have captured multiple championships in the MISL and MASL, but outdoor soccer was merely a plausible project. The short-lived success of the San Diego Loyal in the USL bred the fertile grounds for the San Diego Wave in NWSL and the firestorm first season for San Diego FC. Already SDFC have set sei...

The sting is probably still there months after the fact. Yes, FC Cincinnati took down their rivals in a seismic series, but the tidal wave from Inter Miami was too much in the 2025 MLS Cup playoffs. While the loss gave the Orange & Blue a chance to re-examine their mode of play, Miami went right to work retooling and revamping their champion-level roster. Legends have retired, only for others to t...

FC Cincinnati traveled to the fake Queen City and came away with a 2-2 draw. Evander goal of the week? Is FC Cincy going to have to make big lineup decsions? Coach, Rupe and Jason break it all down.

It's taken a few weeks, but FC Cincinnati finally have an away win under their belt, all thanks to a big late shift by the squad in Chicago. The big question—can they pull off another big road victory? That hasn't been the case when the Orange & Blue have visited their Queen City rivals in North Carolina. Cincinnati have failed to capture all three points over their four visits to Bank of America...

The 2026 season is almost three months old, yet FC Cincinnati has already closed the regular-season booklet on two teams. After positive results against Toronto and Red Bull New York, the Orange & Blue look to improve their numbers against a much-improved Chicago squad. While Chicago stumbled in the U.S. Open Cup, Gregg Berhalter's guys put a hurt on Sporting Kansas City last weekend. However, we'...

If we didn't get our fill from the bite taken out of The Big Apple, Cincinnati fans are getting a second mouthful right away. FC Cincinnati leaves the blue side of the Empire City, only to welcome Red Bull New York to TQL Stadium this Saturday. The Orange & Blue had their difficulties in the first leg of the matchup a few weeks ago, and the longer injury list only makes the work harder. However, R...

Have we entered the Bizarro World version of Major League Soccer? After a few seasons of strong starts out of the gate, Pat Noonan's squad is reeling. Had it not been for two heroic stands after red cards, your FC Cincinnati might be looking at their next opponent from a very different vantage point. Nevertheless, their "Porkopolis" rivals are where the Orange & Blue are looking down from near the...

FC Cincinnati have started the season with a frustrating road slate, losing their first three away matches of the 2026 season. It doesn't help that they encounter a team they couldn't solve at home, but perhaps that allows for some sort of comeuppance if FCC can figure out Toronto FC. The Boys in Red have capitalized on their first home slate of the season, winning two and drawing one to start at...

FC Cincinnati came out of the international break with a new look in the formation but fell at Red Bull New York 4-2. Jason, Coach and Cliff break it all down.

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....

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 C...
