On this special edition of Cincinnati Soccer Talk we visit with Jake Edwards, the President of USL. Jake took time out of his very busy schedule to fill us in on some developments within US soccer’s structure, particularly Division 2 status. Plus we have breaking news surrounding league rules that we bring you EXCLUSIVELY on Cincinnati Soccer Talk.
Here are some highlights of our interview:
Jake talks about his playing days and how he got involved with soccer stateside after a successful career playing in England and for the Charleston Battery.
One of the bigger topics Jake is dealing with quite a bit right now is league expansion. He talks about the league’s plans for expansion and why some markets are favored over others. He also doesn’t like to put a cap or limit on how many teams could potentially play in USL. There’s also plans to make USL a 3 division league with a Central Conference hopefully added by the 2018 season.
We asked him about the league’s application to USSF regarding Division 2 status.
Jake also broke some news surrounding some league rules, particularly the 5-substitution rule.
We discuss the off field success of FC Cincinnati as Jake had a hunch this could be a big year for the orange and blue.

Now that the USL season has officially concluded, we have absolutely nothing to discuss on this week’s podcast. YEAH RIGHT! How about the big USL expansion news that dropped Tuesday? Or FC Cincinnati parting ways with an Assistant Coach? Lots and lots to discuss this week.
Assistant Head Coach Ryan Martin and FC Cincinnati have parted ways. Hear our thoughts on the move.
The USL announced expansion in two more regions today with the Tampa Bay Rowdies and the Ottawa Fury joining for the 2017 season.
We’re then joined by Jeremy Lance, play-by-play broadcaster for the Dayton Dynamo and co-host on Wrong Side of the Pond. In this episode we discuss his start in soccer broadcasting and his thoughts on the incredible season FC Cincinnati had.
We debuted a new segment this week called “Yo, Yo, Yo, #askyosief”. So far the responses have been great. Keep sending in your questions for Yosief!

We took Cincinnati Soccer Talk to the next level last night! Our very first LIVE broadcast, and fortunately for us, the show went off without a hitch! Except for maybe my Mom calling in. That was a first.
Bill, Bryan, Brad and I visit with FC Cincinnati’s GM Jeff Berding. We get his state of the union so to speak. Jeff is the man and we really appreciate him taking a few minutes out of his very busy schedule to join us on the podcast.
We take phone calls for the first time and hear from FCC fans in Cleveland, Nashville, and more.
We look ahead to the upcoming offseason, particularly the potential news headlines. Let's also not forget the soccer don, MLS Commissioner Don Garber visiting Cincinnati in late November. Come out and support the city of Cincinnati and FCC. Let's show the Commish why Cincinnati is a BIG LEAGUE TOWN!

30,187 tickets were sold for Sunday’s first round playoff loss to the Charleston Battery, 2-1. Despite the close loss, plus a complete jobbing from the referee, there were plenty of positives to take away.
Bill, Bryan, Yosief and I recap the 2-1 loss. We all still can’t get over many of you turned up for a match this summer as FC Cincinnati continued to smash attendance records.
The officiating in this match was less than stellar, BUT, it wasn’t the reason why FC Cincinnati lost.
Mark your calendars, we’ll be taking the show live more often now that we’re in the offseason.
We look ahead to an eventful offseason.
