Queens' Pitch CLT

Send us Fan Mail In this special bonus episode, the queens have been deposed, and the princesses have stolen the mic, ready to rate and debate the season performances of a select few Charlotte FC players. The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail It's the perpetual underdog Charlotte FC versus the top dog and MLS's constant darling, Inter Miami with the undeniable star power of a match-fit Lionel Messi & Co. The results hold a 1-1 draw, but in the queens' eyes, multiple reasons to see this as a win. The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail With a 2-nil loss in Orlando and then a 4-nil win at the Fortress for the Crown, the queens have footy fan whiplash. How do things go from being ugly and confusing and "boring" (we didn't say it, someone else did!) to four goals?!  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Charlotte FC visits Montreal and racks up yet another loss in Canada. At this moment when only a handful-ish games remain, the single point achieved after Leagues Cup seems like a warning. There have been lineup changes, moves, and yet something still seems off, but the queens can't find common ground as to what they think is the issue.  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeens...

Send us Fan Mail Atlanta is out for blood when they return to face Charlotte FC at home in the Fortress. The queens agree that the loss here is worrisome as the Crown needs goals desperately in this playoff stretch. The Crown also sees another of its former players return and this time, the queens think it's clear Danny Rios remembers the club's snub.  The Queens' Pitch on X @theque...

Send us Fan Mail The queens sit down with Ashley Westwood, midfielder and captain of Charlotte FC, where they discuss the captaincy, the latest "tea", family and fatherhood, advice, Carowinds and more! The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Charlotte FC is back after a long three week break and so are the Queens, as the Crown drew the New York Red Bulls 1-1 at the Fortress. In the matchup, the summer transfer window's results were on first display as Tim Ream and Pep Biel took to the pitch, and one of these might be in favor or could incur a wrath? Where do you judge? The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchc...

Send us Fan Mail MLS season is on pause, and Leagues Cup is up! In match 1, Charlotte FC revisit Philly making a contender for the worst game of the season in a 1-0 loss. In match 2, the Crown returns to the Fortress to face Liga MX leaders Cruz Azul in a wild night with shocking choices, a dogfight, and a win in a penalty shootout.  The queens revisit both matches and wonder if it was enough to k...

Send us Fan Mail For the final MLS matchup at the midseason, Charlotte travels to face Austin for the first time in history and ends up with a 2-2 draw. From a surprising starting XI, ATX's quick goal, the penalty, another Cap assist---the queens discuss it all!  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Charlotte FC goes to Ohio to face two of the top teams in the East, first the League leaders in Cincinnati where they dominate a 3-1 win, and then at Columbus where a mistake costs an early goal but the lads grind out a draw. Did we just see the best performance of the season so far? Review this week's statement matches with the queens, and tell us your thoughts!  The Queens&...

Send us Fan Mail In this special mini-episode that's been a long time coming, the queens finally wage war, pitted against one another over the return of Karol Swiderski from his loan at Hellas Verona back to Charlotte FC. Which queen has got it right, or is there something more they've missed? The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Back with a double match episode, this time a pair of losses for the Crown, first away against Houston, nil to one, and back at the Fortress against a Messi-less Miami at 2-1. Listen as the queens debate the results of these big opponents, questionable refereeing, and nasty outcomes for Patrick Agyemang.  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Double header episode as the queens review Charlotte FC's recent matches drawing Orlando at home and a winner in Philly, courtesy of a Patrick Agyemang brace. Who impressed and who made a mess? (And can we really be too critical since the Crown are so high in the table mid-year for the first time in history?)  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail The Crown is able to rack up another win and clean sheet in the Fortress against DC United and pit the solo star power of Benteke against the fearsome back five, namely the masterclass that is Adilson Malanda. The queens discuss the refereeing decisions (is it a handball?) and what went right or wrong for Charlotte FC. Weigh in with us through Fan Mail! The Queens' Pitch on X...

Send us Fan Mail In an exciting road match, Charlotte FC triumphs over Atlanta United in a 3-2 victory, with 2k strong Royal Family to cheer them on. What can we take from this match? Is Abada our Champion? Plus, rumors have started to rise with the upcoming transfer window. The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail From a new high moment in Charlotte FC history with clean sheets to a low for the season, the queens debate the recent matches against Philadelphia Union and the New York Red Bulls. The question remains on everyone's minds--who's going to score goals?  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Charlotte FC held the LA Galaxy to a nil-nil draw on Saturday. On paper, it looks like Charlotte were lucky to tie, but if you watched, then you know it was a team effort to hold the defense and block the likes of Pec and Puig from stardom. Join the queens as they dive into yet another tale of two halves. The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail In a double (triple!) header episode, the queens review Charlotte's win over Nashville at the Fortress and the third streak win in Chicago, with a bonus mention of Crown Legacy's recent domination over Chattanooga ft. #15 Ben Bender.  Surprise favors,  reffing wraths? Send us some fan mail if you have thoughts and we might be able to read some next time!  The Queens&apos...

Send us Fan Mail May the Fourth was with the Crown as Charlotte FC took on Portland in a stunning 2nil win at the Fortress. The queens recap a night for epics, marking the first time matchup between the two teams AND the first goals of the season for U-22 Nikola Petkovic and DP Enzo Copetti.  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail The queens sit down with Charlotte FC midfielder and 2022 #1 MLS Draft pick Ben Bender to learn what he's been up to in the last few months while he's been recuperating from last year's injury (hint: it's pretty tasty) and when fans could see him return to the pitch.  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Charlotte goes on the road and earns another loss, this time 2-1 against NYCFC at Yankee Stadium, and the queens fail at baseball puns discussing the performance. The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail The queens discuss Charlotte FC's crushing 0-3 loss to Minnesota United at home in the Fortress.  Did the team experience their own version of the dreaded Sunday Scaries? And with three goals against, who or what deserves some wrath for the result?  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt

Send us Fan Mail Get to know Charlotte FC's starting left-back and Finnish national team player, Jere Uronen, who joined the Crown in August 2023. The queens discover a bit about his background, his family, his advice for other players, his mentality of the game, a favorite quote from a past coach (to "control the controllable"), his awe and appreciation for his wife, and more! The...

Send us Fan Mail In another match at home, Charlotte FC takes on Toronto without Insigne and THERE ARE GOALS! For the first time this season, the Crown earns three goals but two are put against. Plus, Bill Tuiloma starts for the first time in 2024, and new Young Designated Player (YDP) Liel Abada scores his first goal.  Find out in this episode as the queens debate offside vs not offside and was i...

Send us Fan Mail Another loss on the road for Charlotte FC, this time to New England Revolution by one goal. Have the queens lost hope after this performance since they couldn't beat the team in last place? After all, if they aren't shooting, they aren't scoring, and if they aren't scoring, then they aren't winning.  The Queens' Pitch on X @thequeenspitchclt
