Never in my lifetime did I ever expect that a soccer team in Cincinnati would have over 20,000 people attend it. I was honored and excited to be a part of history on Saturday night when FC Cincinnati broke a regular season attendance record in their 3-2 loss to River City Rival, Louisville City FC.
Talk about a bag of mixed emotions. We open up the show by discussing the loss to Louisville. Lot of issues defensively on Saturday night. Particularly in the first half. We then get into the stadium atmosphere where the mood seemed to lighten up a bit.
The supporters groups have been absolutely on point, whether you’re a member of The Pride, Die Innenstadt or The Legion, you all deserve a ton of credit. On this week’s podcast we’re joined again by the founder of The Pride Supporter Group, Payne Rankin. Payne discussed the difficulties the supporters groups have had in the first two home matches. He’s also very excited about the future of the club as well as the groups.
We do our best to tackle Toronto FC II. Doesn’t it seem odd to one week play in front of nearly 21,000 people and now this week you follow that up with a possible sell out crowd of 2,500. TFC II has some talent though offensively and may just be able to put a few balls in the back of the net.
