After some time off from league play, Cincinnati returned to action Saturday night on the road to face a hot New England squad. An early goal from Kevin Denkey was the deciding factor and the Orange and Blue snuck away with 3 more points.
In this week's episode we'll talk about the win and share our thoughts on the team's performance.
We also have the Cincinnati Kid himself, Nick Hagglund joining us for a segment early in the show....
The international break could not have come at a better time. Momentum tends to shift at extended pauses, and FC Cincinnati could use that to get back onto the winning track. Perhaps it could also help cool down our opponents on Saturday--the New England Revolution have not lost in MLS play since the Orange & Blue took them down at home in April.
So what's in the clam chowder these days in New England? How has Caleb Porter gone fro...
The international break finally gives us some time to stretch and recollect our bearings, but we at the Jersey Swap podcast never rest. The laundry always needs to be done!
With the Club World Cup occupying TQL Stadium for a few weeks, we're focusing on this revised tournament with an expanded field of podcasters. We've invited Daniel Solana from Arriba Bolso!,<...

A promising first half and an epic collapse in the second half led to a 3-3 draw with FC Dallas. But the storyline that seemed bigger than the shift in momentum was the return of Lucho Acosta to the roaring sounds of "boos" at TQL.
We have a lot to discuss in this episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk and we hope you will join the conversation.

With the international break and Club World Cup right around the corner, FC Cincinnati finally sees the top of the mountain, the halfway point in the season. The next home opponent clocks in after a five-game winless patch, but D.C. United may have been able to figure out their defensive woes. Now, if only Troy Lesesne's team could jump-start their offense...

Sunday Night Soccer was a rough experience for FC Cincinnati as they took a hard road loss to Atlanta United, a team that has been struggling with only 4 goals in a winless 8 game stretch. Despite the odds being in Cincy's favor, the Five Stripes dropped 4 goals in this one, doubling Cincinnati's offensive output.
But the biggest loss of the match was the Cincinnati Kid, Nick Hagglund, who suffered two broken ribs and a collapsed l...
For the second home match in a row, FC Cincinnati hosts a Texas squad with a new head coach and a former team superstar. While the Orange & Blue managed to tame Austin FC and Brandon Vazquez last time, the bonds may be tested this time. Former MLS MVP and FCC captain Luciano Acosta comes to town after a difficult offseason breakup and transfer to FC Dallas.
We ask Buzz from 3rd Degree to give ...
The last time the Orange & Blue crossed paths with The Five Stripes at TQL Stadium, both teams came out even from a barn-burner of a match. While FC Cincinnati has remained relatively hot, Atlanta United has been trying to reignite their spark, going eight matches winless. The teams intersect paths again on Sunday to finish this season's second leg.
It only took 6 minutes for Kevin Denkey to introduce himself to Columbus in the latest edition of Hell is Real. But as we've come to expect from the best rivalry in MLS, there is no space to sit comfortably on a lead. If Cincinnati had any advantage in the first half, the Crew made all the right adjustments and were relentless in their attack in the second half, eventually scoring on a Diego Rossi kick from the spot.
The match ende...
Cincinnati continues to collect points during this important stretch of the season and they are doing so with some spectacular goals by striker, Kevin Denkey. Wednesday night's 1-0 win in Toronto makes 2 wins in a row and 7 wins in their last 8 matches. But that streak will be challenged this Saturday, as the Orange and Blue travel to Columbus, OH for the first Hell is Real fixture of the season.
As it stands now, FC Cincinnati sit...
At least twice a year, we circle this day on the calendar. The "Hell Is Real" Derby is upon us, and once again, it's all Ohio. (It always has been.) FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew have been steadfast and gaining momentum atop the standings, and this weekend's edition presents more than just bragging rights to the victors. We may be biased, but this is the best rivalry in North America, bar none.
FC Cincinnati put in a performance this weekend that may have been what was needed to right the ship. With goals by Evander and Valenzuela on assists by Engel and Evander, the offensive partnerships looked promising, enough so that a Brandon Vasquez penalty couldn't even spoil the party.
What changes were made to the line up? How did those moves impact the tactics and flow of the game? Will we see more of this from Cincinnati? We'l...
Do you remember 5-0 at Austin FC in February of 2022? That crushing loss that started the Pat Noonan era at FC Cincinnati? Oh, we all remember.
Both teams made the playoffs in 2022, but since then, the Orange & Blue and Los Verdes have inhabited different sides of the coin. While Noonan's boys have managed to stay high, Austin FC has exchanged head coaches after subpar seasons. The greener sid...
The 5 game winning streak for the Orange and Blue came to an end Sunday afternoon at Citi Field in a 1-0 loss to New York City FC. Though it was only one match, with more than half of the season still ahead, fans are split on whether or not there is cause for concern with the team's development.
Tune in to episode 417 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk, as Brian, Coach, Justin and Jose, break down the match against NYCFC, look ahead at a fl...
The rivalries in New York have been distinct between the two MLS branches in the Big Apple. However, FC Cincinnati has taken a few bites out of the core before as well. We've already covered the bile between Cincinnati and the Red Bulls, and this week we take on the bluer side of the 5 Boroughs. Last season, it ended a bit sour with New York City FC marching into TQL Stadium and winning the rubber ma...
The Orange and Blue sit alone atop the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer after their win this weekend over Sporting KC. While it may not have been a statement win, Kevin Denkey certainly made a statement scoring a brace by way of a bicycle kick to the top corner.
Join Jason, Coach, José, and Kristi for Episode 416 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk to break down the win over SKC.

The Peter Vermes era has come to an end in the KCK. Sporting Kansas City now has to seek a new identity for the first time in 16 years. The new coach bounce was pretty big last week in San Jose, but is there a future under interim leadership? This is no longer the team led by an experienced goalkeeper between the posts.
We invited Jimmy and Daniel from the No Other Pod podcast to discuss this...
Despite the absence of Yuya Kubo and Obi Nwobodo, FC Cincinnati continue to find ways to win games. This time they did it in the Windy City on a brace by Evander in his return to the starting XI, and third from striker, Kevin Denkey. Though in the end it was only a one goal differential, the Orange and Blue showed some encouraging signs of what's to come as their attacking partnerships continue to develop.
Join us for episode 415 o...
With Gregg Berhalter's return to the MLS ranks as head coach, the Chicago Fire have returned to the front page. However, that just means a team FC Cincinnati beat in the 2017 U.S. Open Cup is now helmed by the coach of a team FC Cincinnati beat in the 2017 U.S. Open Cup. It's an interesting bit of information.
However, Chicago has also fortified their roster with bigger offensive weapons. Coul...
