The Orange & Blue walk into the mouth of the enemy, taking on the Columbus Crew in the first Ohio derby of the season. While FC Cincinnati merely readjusted the tools in place, Columbus have been undergoing vast renovations. Not only is Wilfried Nancy out the door for greener pastures, but so is his replacement. The Columbus front office has moved their parts quickly during the...

S11 E19 Jersey Swap – Vancouver Whitecaps – Michael McColl from AFTN
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
The World Cup is nearing its denouement, which means that Major League Soccer is reigniting their engines. (Maybe that's just adding to the poor air quality around here lately.) FC Cincinnati's first opponent after the long break? Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the head honchos of the Western Conference. The Caps got a surprising reprieve on Thursday after their match with Chicago was put on hold due to the environment. However, that just means the squad gets extra rest before Wednesday's matchup. To know more about our opponent, we talk with soccer commentator and reporter from the "" podcast and...

S11 E18 Jersey Swap - 2026 FIFA World Cup - Our Group Stage Analysis!
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
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 get through surprise upstarts Croatia and Morocco to do so. the expanded field probably makes it harder for a Cinderella team to reach similar heights, but it also means there's a higher chance at a...
info_outlineFor 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 seismic records in MLS, capturing the Western Conference crown in their first season. However, the second season has started with a bit of reality—Hirving Lozano's backstage fiascos have sidelined him, causing a drag on the team's momentum, and injuries have pulled SDFC closer to the bottom of the table.
As FC Cincinnati prepares for their first trip to "America's Finest City", we sit down with Craig Elsten, one of San Diego's most experienced play-by-play men and podcaster for The Chromaniacs. How has the city embraced SDFC after the Loyal's rise and fall? What worked so well for SDFC in the inaugural season, and how can that magic be replicated on Saturday?
