It should be labeled a "derby" by all definitions. The distance between the Music City and Queen City remains quite drivable. However, the average FC Cincinnati fan and average Nashville SC fan probably wouldn't admit that the other is a rival. There's still no solid point of contention between both squads.
The trend in both squads to start the season may indicate a much closer rivalry in 2025. While the Orange & Blue have started lukewarm, the "Boys in Gold" to the south are on a hot streak. Before Saturday's matchup, we talk with Tim from the Club & Country podcast to see just how well new head coach B.J. Callaghan is cooking with his retooled roster.

With both teams missing a significant amount starters to international duty, injury or suspension, this match up looked to be less than ideal. Though the final result came in as a 2-2 draw, there were some bright spots for the Orange and Blue. Nick Hagglund made his first start since his injury. Evander got on the ball in dangerous spots and scored a brace. And Brad Smith made his debut by bringing some pace and new energy down the left flank.
In episode 411 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Brian, Coach, Nick, and Cliff will breakdown the match and discuss whether or not it's time to panic.
Tony Husband from MLS Season Pass also plans to drop by to discuss the upcoming match in Nashville.

As much as it appears the sky is falling for FC Cincinnati, that comes from intense pressure and high expectations. The Orange & Blue's next opponents, Atlanta United, are also under the microscope from a rough first month after a massive offseason. It doesn't help that both squads are depleted from injury and international duties.
We talk with Jason from Soccer Down Here and his work at 92.9 The Game to read the temperature before Saturday's match. Where do the Five Stripes stand after Miami gained an ounce of revenge last Sunday? How complete is Atlanta with so many players heading to World Cup qualifiers?

The Orange and Blue traveled to North Carolina this past Saturday to face a very good Charlotte FC team and unfortunately, they came home empty handed. The offensive fire power has stalled. The back line looks leaky. And depth continues to be an issue with injuries, a red card, and international duty.
Fans are beginning to ask some questions. But are they justified or just a bunch of knee-jerk overreactions?
Join Brian, Coach, Cliff and Bill for episode 410 of Cincinnati Soccer as they recap the Charlotte match, address the fan reaction and look ahead to Atlanta coming to TQL.

For three years, fans of FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC have disputed which is the true "Queen City". However, that may be where the differences end. Head-to-head results have not resolved anything—both teams have two wins over the other, and both have retooled their attacks and fortified their defenses in order to challenge the beasts of the East.
We know of the big addition of Wilfried Zaha atop the attack, but how else has head coach Dean Smith polished the Crown? Can the defense replicate their conference-best performance from 2024? What have the first three matches said about the state of CFC? We talk with Anna about the sea change in the Tar Heel State and Charlotte's progression towards the top.

As much as FC Cincinnati's fortunes have flipped from bad to better, the times in Toronto have become difficult. It's been over a calendar year since the Reds from Canada came to visit the Orange & Blue, and it's been over three years since Toronto FC have won over Cincinnati. Can the team from La Ville-Reine—the "Queen City" of Canada—find their footing under a new coach?
We talk with Jeffrey from the "Toronto Til I Die" podcast to get his thoughts on Toronto's chances. With a fairly unchanged roster bogged down by an expensive anchor of a contract, how does he feel Saturday's match will go? Does this hotel have a high top floor, or is down the only way on this elevator?
