Release Date: 06/05/2026
S11 E28 Jersey Swap - Houston Dynamo - Rudy Segura from Bayou City Soccer
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
FC Cincinnati has lived and died by the lower goal differential in the past. Although the team had tight margins, the Orange & Blue had often finished with the three points. This season, the West seems to have their own situation where a low-differential team is lurking toward the top of the table, and they sport their own shade of orange. Cincinnati travel to Houston to take on the Dynamo and face their final Western Conference foe for the year. True, the Dynamo offense has been relatively sparse compared to other teams, sporting a +4 differential. However, the defense has kept the door...

S11 E27 Jersey Swap - Charlotte FC - Brian Maurer from TopBin90
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
It's been a lousy time to collide with the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season. FC Cincinnati were given some bad servings of humble pie in Nashville and Philadelphia. At least home cooking should make the sour taste go away? Not so fast, my friend. Charlotte FC have owned the Queen City since 2024, winning the last two times at TQL Stadium. While both teams will be missing some important pieces as they chase the top of the conference, this six-pointer matchup will be important for any playoff runs. We bring in from to give us his perspective on a Charlotte team that needed...

S11 E26 Jersey Swap - Philadelphia Union - Kyle & Jillian Almoney from The One Team We Agree On
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
The unexpected postponement on Saturday means that FC Cincinnati has had extra time to consider their side of the equation. Now they need to solve a team that has suddenly solved their own issues. The Orange & Blue face a revitalized Philadelphia Union squad that has rediscovered their chemistry. Undefeated since the World Cup break, the Union are suddenly world beaters again after a tumultuous start to the season. Was it as simple as abandoning the Bradley Carnell experiment early enough to reset the deck? We sit down with and from their husband-wife podcast . They give us perspective...

S11 E25 Jersey Swap - D.C. United - Jon Hoffman from RFK Refugees
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
The transfer portal has sealed itself shut. Everything we see from now on is permanent. If FC Cincinnati plans to make the big dance, it will have to do good with the date that brought them to the prom. They'll have to prove themselves against the current Wooden Spoon holders this weekend. Let's not jump to conclusions. D.C. United has done well to distance themselves from last year's performance. The Black-and-Red are already ahead of last season's points-per-game pace. The revamped offense has the playmakers, and the defense has locked opponents much better. So why are things still feeling...

S11 E24 Jersey Swap - Nashville SC - Tyler from BigTV NSC
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
The fans won't call it a rivalry or give it a proper name, but it deserves to be recognized. When Cincinnati was the punk rocker, Nashville was playing the blues. Now the Music City is hotter than their chicken, while the Queen City is under a gentle boil. This couldn't have happened overnight, but Nashville SC are the current U.S. Open Cup holders. There's a great chance they run away with the Supporters' Shield. Dare we even consider them to be easily in the running for a double? We bring in from to give us a fantastic analysis on why Nashville's potentially breaking records. How did the...

S11 E23 Jersey Swap - Seattle Sounders - Jeremiah Oshan from Sounder At Heart
Cincinnati Soccer Talk
The Orange & Blue continue their home stint with another Western Conference opponent, the one which started the incredible journey. While it has been three years since Cincinnati and Seattle tangled, you can never forget that first moment when the Sounders welcomed Cincy to MLS (and the 4-1 beatdown that followed it). The worn cleat has certainly been on the other foot lately. Cincinnati have kept their heads above water, but Seattle has sunk to the bottom. The Sounders come into Saturday's match on an eight-match MLS winless streak. Is the Brian Schmetzer era coming to a climax? Or do the...

info_outlineThe 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 newcomer reaching stages they've yet to access.
So how does this cycle shape up? We bring on CST's own Jose Guerra and Jacob Holton to discuss the distant and recent past of the World Cup. We also have Kenta Hagiwara from the Asian Football Show help us dissect the group stages and predict who gets into the knockout round. While we're at it, just why did they pick the teams they picked in the CST 2026 World Cup Draft?
REMINDER: Cincinnati Soccer Talk will be at Oakley Greens on Friday June 12th for a prematch live show! Join us with FC Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano at 7:30PM to discuss the upcoming USA vs. Paraguay first-round matchup!
