info_outlineOne more match at TQL, and the FC Cincinnati regular season is officially in the books. It may depend on who you ask, but the Noonan-Albright Era appears to be the gold standard, achieving heights that were not expected on Day 1.
It's easy to call a finish in the Top 3 a success. On the other hand, how did this season look from the outside? For such promising transfer markets in the winter and summer, did FC Cincinnati fall short of the mark?
David Gass joins Geoff and Coach Gough for a special double-wide Jersey Swap to close out the regular season. We ask the founder and host of Soccerwise about the launch of his new endeavor this year and his perception of FC Cincinnati from a distance. What are his thoughts on the roster and staff as they power into the postseason? What is holding the Orange & Blue back from another trophy in the case? Most of all, who from FCC does he feel would fit his theorem and have a terrific year in 2026?
