FC Cincinnati went to North Carolina over the weekend and came home with 3 points and a clean sheet. Despite that close scoreline, you can argue that the match was never really in the balance. FC Cincinnati dominated from the opening kick till the final whistle. Next up, two matches in three days for the Orange and Blue.
In This Episode
Bryan, Yosief and I recap the win on the road against Wilmington. Good news, the clean sheet returned and it was shared by Mitch Hildebrandt and Dallas Jaye!
We are proud to announce we raised $1,100 for Sports Games for Kids during our Inaugural Cincinnati Soccer Talk FootGolf Classic.

We look ahead to the final home game at Nippert Stadium this fall against Orlando City B. We should mention we’re only talking about the regular season. There’s a chance Nippert could host a USL playoff game.

Talk about squeaky bum time! Whew! A late handball in the box saves FC Cincinnati’s bacon. Say what you want about Sean Okoli but where would this team be without him this season? Certainly not 3rd place I can almost guarantee that! On this week’s episode we look back at the dreadful week that WAS and recap a massive win from Labor Day.
In This Episode
Bill, Yosief and I recap the grim performance from midweek last week in Charlotte where FC Cincinnati lost to 10-men Independence. Frankly inexcusable. I know the 3rd goal from Charlotte was a deflected own goal, but even with the man advantage, it never actually appeared that FC Cincinnati has a man advantage.
Monday’s win over Saint Louis FC saw FC Cincinnati move from 6th to 3rd in the Eastern Conference standings. I don’t think we can say it enough about just how huge those 3 points may end up at the end of the season.
We look ahead to the final matchup against the Wilmington Hammerheads, a team very much in the playoff hunt but are getting desperate and need results, much like FC Cincinnati.

Bryan, Yosief and Bill recap the two matches for FC Cincinnati including the now dreaded VAR! They analyze what went right, what went wrong and how FC Cincinnati can move forward onto the playoffs. Listen to what the guys think about the fire Sean Okoli showed at New York as well as the tactical changes Harkes employed vs. Rochester. It was a busy week and we attempt to recap it all.
The guys also provide brief breakdowns of FC Cincinnati's upcoming opponents and how they can win. FC Cincinnati travels to the hot Charlotte Independence after a cancelled match earlier in the summer. We also look towards FC Cincinnati's first home match vs. Saint Louis F.C. Listen and give us your t
Even though FC Cincinnati had the weekend off, there was an absolute ton going on around the club. The biggest event, in our opinion of course, was the Inaugural Cincinnati Soccer Talk FootGolf Classic on Saturday. Thanks to all who braved the weather and came out to support a great cause. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event so stay tuned!
In This Episode
Brad, Yosief, Bill and I recap the exciting events at Reeves Golf Course and 50 West Brewery at the CST FootGolf Classic. Lots of fun was had by all. FCC President Jeff Berding stopped by along with Francisco Narbón, Michael Millay, Jamie Dell and Álvaro Anton Ripoll. Thanks to you were able to raise over $1,100 for Sports Games for Kids! The event couldn’t have happened though without the support of the Joseph Auto Group, Touchstone Marketing and 513 Shirts.
When I first launched CST back in the day, I created a list of names of people that were must have guests on our show. Jason Davis was at the TOP of this list. You may recognize Jason previously as the host of such shows as Soccer Morning and The Best Soccer Show. Now he can be heard Monday-Friday onSiriusXM FC’s United States of Soccer. Jason offers up his take on FC Cincinnati story from the national perspective. We touch on the ongoing story that is MLS expansion and where FC Cincinnati fits into the discussion.
What a massive week for FC Cincinnati. They return home on Wednesday night to take on 6th place Rochester and then hit the road to New York to take on 1st place Red Bulls II on Sunday night. Both teams have taken 3 points from the orange and blue this season. We offer up our predictions as always.

Whew! What a match in Richmond! As much as we want FC Cincinnati to win every match, you’ll take a point on the road in Richmond. The Kickers were one of the hottest teams in USL heading into the match. Andrew Wiedeman’s heroics helped secure a massive point for FC Cincinnati.
On This Episode
Bryan, Bill, Brad and I recap the draw in Richmond. A lot of times you’ll see results, for instance the first match against Richmond, where a draw feels like a loss. This was not the case on Saturday night. There were a lot of factors involved Saturday night, the large pitch, the heat index, injuries, etc.
The first free kick goal in FC Cincinnati history belongs to Andrew Wiedeman. He scored the first USL goal for the Orange and Blue and now he adds this accolade. Add to it a USL Team of the Week honor as well, his 3rd of the season. Now FC Cincinnati has the weekend off and will need to get rested up for the Rochester Rhinos who make their first trip to Nippert next Wednesday.
We’re pleased to be joined this week on the podcast by James Brown and Mike Strauss from Spontaneous Productions. They’re putting together the film “Hometeam Advantage” which is a film about FC Cincinnati. James and Mike fill us in on the project and how you can get involved.
We then look ahead to the busy week ahead for all things soccer in the Cincinnati area. Just because there is no match this weekend doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do! We preview them all including our HUGE event Saturday night. We’re still looking for 2 more footgolf teams! To get registered, visit CincinnatiSoccerTalk.com/footgolf. If you don’t want to play footgolf but would like to come to dinner at 50 West Brewery, it’s $20.

After some much needed, and deserved time off, FC Cincinnati is hitting the road this weekend to take on 4th place Richmond in Virginia Saturday night. Richmond is one of the hottest teams in the USL at the moment so it should be a great matchup.
On This Episode
Bryan, Yosief and I recap the win over Montreal. Sean Okoli continues to enjoy playing against Montreal with another 2 goal performance. It also earned him his 4th USL Team of the Week honor this season. The opportunities for more goals were there. Jimmy McLaughlin hit the post, and narrowly missed another goal just wide of the post in the 1st half. Despite the clean sheet, new CB tandem Austin Berry and Even Lee struggled at time against FC Montreal.
We discuss the new CST Postgame show that was announced on Monday this week. Join us immediately following the match on Saturday night on Facebook live where YOU can have your say about FC Cincinnati.
We then looked into our crystal ball to decide the outcome of Saturday night’s match in Richmond.

FC Cincinnati batted fourth place Charleston Battery to a 1-1 draw Saturday night. The squad must now turnaround and embark on their longest road stretch of the season. Listen as the guys recap the Battery match and outline the what awaits FC Cincinnati. Special Guest Taylor Rockwell of the Total Soccer Show joins the guys this week.
On This Episode
On Episode 24 Bill, Brad and Bryan recap the events of last week. FC Cincinnati faced the Charleston Battery in USL action while scrimmaged the Dayton Dynamo (NPSL) mid week. 19,229 fans packed in Nippert Stadium as a physical match transpired between the third and fourth place clubs battled each other.
In segment two, Taylor Rockwell of the Total Soccer Show join Brad and Bryan to discuss the USL, Total Soccer Show, next week's opponent the Richmond Kickers, US Soccer, MLS and more. The Total Soccer Show is one of the most popular soccer podcasts in America and has just moved to a new weekly format on August 1st. Check out their show on TotalSoccerShow.com or subscribe HERE.
The guys then return to discuss the 2017 USL Schedule changes, expansion and contraction within the USL (scratchingthepitch.com), and we give our quick hits on the upcoming midweek match vs. FC Montreal.
After a tough mid week loss, FC Cincinnati bounces back in spectacular fashion and wins the inaugural River Cities Cup with a 2-0 win over dreaded Louisville City FC. Now the orange and blue continue to face a tough task when the Charleston Battery come to town this weekend.
On This Episode
Yosief, Bryan, Michael and I recap the events of last week. FC Cincinnati faced a very tough opponent in the New York Red Bulls last Wednesday and were in a winning position late in the 2nd half but 2 goals put the Baby Bulls ahead of FCC 2-1. More importantly, FC Cincinnati bounced back with a massive 2-0 win over league leaders Louisville. What a performance by the banged up squad. Injuries are hitting the midfield at the worst time. Corbin Bone though put in a shift that was nothing short of spectacular which also earned him team of the week honors.
The Dancing Man, Jimmy McLaughlin stops by for his first visit to the CST Podcast. Jimmy fills us in on life in Cincinnati and how even his expectations have been surpassed this season. He also tells us why he wears the number 20 and what exactly the BePositive Foundation means to him.
Bryan goes on a rant late in the podcast in response to some posts on Reddit regarding Supporters Groups. Are you in a Supporters Group? What do you make of these comments? Maybe you’re not in a SG? What’s keeping you from joining? We’d love your feedback!

The 2-0 result isn’t what was important from Saturday night’s friendly with Crystal Palace. The biggest takeaway was the 35,061 who showed up to witness a soccer match, the largest in Ohio EVER. The Orange and Blue held their own against their Premier League foe. Despite the week off, this week’s matches provide a massive test to see if FC Cincinnati is ready for the postseason spotlight.
On This Episode
Yosief, Brad, Bill and I recap the events of Saturday night. Crystal Palace came to town and knocked off FC Cincinnati 2-0 but the result wasn’t all that important. It was a celebration of soccer in Cincinnati. The South London Times is calling FC Cincinnati the “Most Exciting Soccer Team in America”. Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew even said he’d love to come back to Cincinnati in the future.
The final leg of the Dirty River Derby will go down on Saturday night when FC Cincinnati plays host to Louisville City FC. It may not be the last time we see these guys if all goes well in the postseason.

Well it was a week that saw FC Cincinnati’s unbeaten streak come to an end, but the good news is that the orange and blue started a new streak with a 2-1 win Saturday night. Plus with Barclays Premier League side Crystal Palace visiting the Queen City Saturday night, it’s arguably the biggest soccer event in Cincinnati soccer history!
On This Episode
Yosief, Bryan, Bill and I recap the loss to Rochester last week. We also discuss the bounce back against Saint Louis FC on Saturday night. We also were very excited that John Harkes deployed a 4-4-2 formation and it definitely paid off.
We visit with Tom Grabo, the CincySportsGuy from Sports Games for Kids. We’re excited to be working with Tom for the Inaugural Cincinnati Soccer Talk FootGolf Classic coming up August 20th at Reeves Golf Course!

We've made it to 20 EPISODES and FC Cincinnati is unbeaten in their last 11 USL matches! On to the Show! Cincinnati Soccer Talk Podcast
You know what they say about ties? Well, we’ll take a 0-0 draw against the 1st place team in the Eastern Conference. Especially when you consider that same team came into Nippert back in April and put up 3 first half goals. FC Cincinnati continues to get better with each week and they showed they could hang with the Eastern Conference’s best team. Now they’re back home to take on the team they beat for the first win in franchise history back in April when they faced Bethlehem Steel FC. On to the show!
On This Episode
Yosief, Brad, Bryan and I recap the scoreless draw between Louisville City FC and FC Cincinnati. It wasn’t the most entertaining match we’ve ever watched but a point is a point. Brad and Yosief made the trek down to Louisville and each had a great experience. We learned about the Plastic Cup with The Pride and Die Innenstadt bussed people down to the game as well. It sounded like a good time was had by all. More importantly, FC Cincinnati was represented well in Louisville.
We discussed some possible lineup changes we’d like to see FC Cincinnati deploy, particularly at forward with Sean Okoli and LB Tyler Polak. Both have done great things this year for the club but there have been issues with both. Should John Harkes rotate the lineup or are you happy with where this team is at?
We hit up the mailbag and Twitter to answer some listener questions.
We wrapped up the episode by looking ahead to Saturday’s 6 PM match against Bethlehem Steel FC.

Nick is out of town so the cats will play. While the main man is on vacation Bryan, Bill, Yosief and Brad break down the week for Episode 18 of the podcast.
Thanks for all your patience during our absence last week. Unfortunately schedules wouldn’t cooperate and we couldn’t get a podcast recorded. But we’re happy to be back! Thanks for all your feedback as well. With summer being here and vacations looming, it’s going to be tougher to do these shows but we will do our absolute best to get it done! Just like FC Cincinnati is getting things done on the pitch with another win over the weekend.
On This Episode
Yosief, Bill, Bryan and I recap the 2-1 win over FC Montreal. It was great to see forward Sean Okoli score from the run of play. He also slotted home a PK for the other goal. Watch out for this ugly trend, FC Cincinnati giving up late goals. It seems to be happening frequently.
We also had the chance to visit with the newest FCC Supporter Group, The Queen City Firm. We had a chance to chat with founders Jeremy Burnett and Ryan Cocola. Hear what these gentlemen had to say about their ideas and thoughts about starting a new SG.
The club announced some new rules this week surrounding the Bailey. Bryan was not happy about it.
Lastly, we gave our thoughts on the upcoming home match against Toronto FC II, a team that’s struggling in the Eastern Conference.

What rust? Despite having an unexpected week off from action, FC Cincinnati continues their unbeaten streak after a 2-0 win over the visiting Harrisburg City Islanders. It was a physical match to say the least. Now the Orange and Blue have a tough week ahead with two matches in four days.
On This Episode
Yosief, Brad, Bryan and I recap the 2-0 win over Harrisburg. One of the major talking points from that match was the red card for Harrisburgh’s Aaron Wheeler after he elbowed CB Harrison Delbridge in the face when the two jumped for a header. Not to mention the kick to the face just before halftime that was missed by everyone during the broadcast.
FC Cincinnati hits the road on Wednesday night to take on the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the US Open Cup. We debated whether or not you put out a roster that features a lot of backups so that you can save your starters for this weekend’s match against the Richmond Kickers. Do you sacrifice the Open Cup to focus on the USL slate? It’s an interesting debate.
Speaking of the Richmond Kickers, they’ll make their first visit to Nippert Stadium on Saturday night at 7 pm. Richmond is coming off an ugly loss to the worst team in the Eastern Conference this past weekend. In other words, you know they’re going to look to bounce back in a big way. Can the winning train continue to roll Saturday night?

Even though FC Cincinnati had the weekend off, the club still continued to make news last week. Their match against Charlotte was rained out 2 days prior to the match. Despite the rainout, FC Cincinnati announced their international friendly coming up in July. They also notched their first win in US Open Cup history when they knocked off Indy Eleven NPSL.
On This Episode
Bill Wolf and Michael Walker recap their experience at Nippert last week during FC Cincinnati’s US Open Cup debut win over Indy Eleven NPSL. We also discussed the next matchup in the tournament and what it means if they win. If they win, they’ll head up north to face the Columbus Crew at a neutral venue in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Boo.
We also were stoked to hear that FC Cincinnati will be hosting FA Cup Finalist, Crystal Palace, in a summer friendly on July 16th. Who would have thought that in Year 1 of this franchise, the Barclays Premier League would be calling? That’s exciting news for our city as well as the club.
Last but not least, we look ahead to Saturday’s home date against the Harrisburg City Islanders. This is a side that drew with FC Cincinnati a few weeks ago at home. They’re coming off a 2-1 win over Toronto FC on Tuesday night. Should be a solid matchup at Nippert Saturday night!

Well done Cincinnati! 23K showed up to watch FC Cincinnati knock off those pesky Riverhounds from Pittsburgh. It wasn’t the prettiest performance but defensively it was stellar. Harrison Delbridge, Paul Nicholson and Mitch Hildebrandt all contributed to the first clean sheet in team history. Now the club faces another busy week as they’ve got two matches to prepare for.
On This Episode We welcome Bill Wolf to the podcast this week. We also recap the win for the orange and blue this weekend. Something we’ve noticed already, FC Cincinnati will be receiving everyone’s best shot this year. Despite the tumultuous week in Pittsburgh, they came out and played FC Cincinnati well.
We were visited this week by Jeff Smith, the VP for Ticketing and Sales for FC Cincinnati. Jeff talks about the movement that's taking place with soccer in this town and region.
We also look ahead to Wednesday night’s Open Cup match as FC Cincinnati plays host to Indy Eleven NPSL. FCC will then close out the week by traveling down to Charlotte for leg 2 of the Queen City Cup.

It was an interesting week for FC Cincinnati. A road trip to Florida and Pennsylvania last week made for some challenges, especially when you factor in the weather in Orlando last Wednesday. Regardless of the results, 4 points in 2 road matches in one week is solid. Now this week they play host to new rival the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at 4 PM Saturday afternoon. Wear orange!
On This Episode
Michael Walker made his triumphant return to the pod this week along with Brad Weigel and Yosief Tzeghai. We each broke down the two road matches. We were excited for the 3-1 win in Orlando but largely disappointed with the 1-1 result against struggling Harrisburg.
We also discuss the announcement this week that the Cincinnati Bengals and a few of their players are going to be honorary captains at Saturday's match. Plus, club owner Carl Linder III has personally written to FC Cincinnati fans to attend Saturday's match and help to surpass 25,000 tickets sold. BIG NUMBER.

Right now FCCincinnati is averaging 15,491 per game which is tops in the USL.Let’s hope that average continues to rise through the summer. Asfor the game itself, we discuss that and more on this week’spod.

You know what they say about tie games? I don’t need to repeatthat here. It was two points dropped though on Saturday night as FCCincinnati finished the match 1-1 with Wilmington. MitchHildebrandt’s PK save was amazing, unfortunately the ensuing cornerresulted in a goal for the Hammerheads. But former Wilmington starPaul Nicholson leveled the match early in the 2nd half.
We were joined on the show this week by Pat Brennan from TheCincinnati Enquirer. Pat’s been fortunate to cover the FCCincinnati beat for our local newspaper. He fills us in on theearly season storylines and also a bit of background on how hebecame a soccer journalist.
This week features two matches, one on Wednesday night againstOrlando City B and Saturday night against the Harrisburg CityIslanders, both of which are on the road. We break it down for youand offer up our predictions.

After losing in disappointing fashion the week before, FC Cincinnati bounces back with a big road win in Canada over the weekend when they came back and knocked off Toronto FC II 2-1. Goals by Andrew Wiedeman and Mr. Instant Offense Omar Cummings helped bring the orange and blue back for good. Oh yeah, there was this certain save by GK Mitch Hildebrandt that MAY have helped as well. There’s another big home game coming up on Saturday night at Nippert Stadium. We hope to see you fill it up!
On This Episode
On this week’s show we started off by recapping the win over Toronto. We offered up our Men of the Match and marveled at the amazing save from Mitch Hildebrandt. #SCTOP10
We were joined on the show this week by Asst. Coach Ryan Martin from FC Cincinnati. Ryan chats with us about his start in professional soccer and just how he get got involved early on with FC Cincinnati and Coach Harkes. Plus he fills us in on his favorite soccer bar in town.
This week we also feature Die Innenstadt, one of the large supporter groups. Timo Brightenstein, who serves as the VP of the Group, is a lifelong Borussia Dortmund fan and season ticket holder. He’s been able to share his SG experience with many fans of FC Cincinnati and help to make the gameday atmosphere feel like home.

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.
On This Episode
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.

The home opener on Saturday night was an amazing experience and things just keep getting better for fans of FC Cincinnati because Louisville is coming to town this week. Time to bring your A-game! Let's show that team down the river how soccer is played in the Queen City!
On This Episode
We opened this week's show by recapping FC Cincinnati's first home win in club history 2-1 over the Charlotte Independence in front of 14,658 rowdy fans at Nippert Stadium. Brad Weigel also makes his triumphant return to the podcast after spending the weekend watching golf.
We're super pumped this week because FC Cincinnati forward Andrew Wiedeman joined us on the podcast to discuss his first goal, which just so happened to be the first USL goal in FC Cincinnati history. Andrew also tells us how he's adjusted to life in the Queen City and fills us in on his hair secrets. From the nightlife to the local restaurants, Andrew seems to really enjoy being part of this town. He's even eager to try some goetta!
So with one home game in the books, it's time to compete for another cup, this time it's the River Cities Cup. Louisville City FC makes the short trip up to Cincy for their first visit to Nippert. We each give our predictions on the match and what we can expect Saturday night.

We opened this week's show by recapping FC Cincinnati's first win in club history! Andrew Wiedeman scores the first goal in club history and Sean Okoli follows up shortly after to get the good guys off to a great start. Bethlehem Steel were forced to finish the match with 10 men and it seemed to improve them as they scored in stoppage time, and hit the bar a 2nd time as well. FC Cincinnati escapes Pennsylvania with their first 3 points in USL history. Who was your Man of the Match? We give out our MOTM awards as well.
Harrison Delbridge was named to this week's USL Team of the Week. FC Cincinnati also announced surpassing the 5,000 mark of season tickets sold, 10,000 seats sold for Saturday night's home opener against the Charlotte Independence.

I've watched a lot of soccer in my lifetime being a fan of one of that red team in Manchester. I've subscribed to MLS DirectKick the past four seasons, I'll even sit down and watch Liga MX en Español. Saturday night was first for me. I was so excited to watch FC Cincinnati launch their inaugural season on Saturday night. I can't say I've ever sat through an entire soccer match on Youtube. Check that experience off my bucket list. Even with all the matches I've seen in my life, Saturday night's loss felt different to me. Maybe it's because I actually have a connection to a team for the first time in my life. Here's to hoping the good guys can start their winning ways this weekend in Pennsylvania. On to the show!

We opened this week's show by discussing the great turnout by fans at Rhinehaus to watch FC Cincinnati take on Charleston Battery. It was a fantastic game to watch online as well. Despite the 1-0 loss, there were some positives to take away from this match. What were the positives YOU took away from this match?
We also looked ahead to Sunday's match against Bethlehem Steel. The Steel are coming off a 1-0 win over FC Montreal in Canada on Friday night to kick off the USL season. Just like Charleston's goal was a fluke against us, Bethlehem's goal was a bit of a fluke as well.
We finished up the show by discussing the upcoming meet and greet on Thursday night at Rheingeist. Plus season tickets have mailed out to season ticket holders! Have you received yours? What are your thoughts?
Plus we also give our score predictions for Sunday's Bethlehem Steel - FC Cincinnati match.

It may have only been a friendly on Friday night, but the FC Cincinnati faithful packed the house at Xavier to watch the orange and blue in their first game in the Queen City. What a spectacular turnout. The supporters groups were out in force and working together on chants and marching to the game. The Listermann's event prior to the game sounded like it was a hit as well. It almost feels like the 2-0 win over the Muskies was just a side note to the night. It was great to see FC Cincinnati close out their preseason unbeaten though as they get set to head down to Charleston to take on a very tough Battery side.

We opened this week's show by discussing the great turnout by fans to the friendly at Xavier. Bryan recapped quite elegantly here. Oh by the way, there was a game on Friday night and it finished 2-0 to the good guys.
We were really excited to have back on the program Chad Hollingsworth from the USL Show and Scratching the Pitch. Chad was impressed with the preseason that FC Cincinnati had and thinks they have a loaded roster, one that can possibly compete for the Eastern Conference crown.
We finished up the show by discussing the radio debut of the John Harkes Show from the Moerlein Lager House in downtown Cincinnati. Our very own Brad Weigel was there representing CST. Yours truly was proud to be the first caller in the history of the program too. #humblebrag
