Speaker 1 (00:00):
FC Cincinnati is trying to bounce back after seeing their
five game winning streak get snapped in New York on Saturday.
They are back at home tomorrow night tilt against Austin.
Match starts at seven thirty. You can catch it on
MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. With the Pride of
Cincinnati is a new hometown. I believe he has called
(00:21):
two FC Cincinnati matches this year. Our friend Tyler terrences
with us. It's good to have you. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
What's going on? Though, I don't know if I can
call myself the Pride of Cincinnati Jessee. I considering I've
only been here for eighteen months. I've still yet to
actually go to a skyline Chile. I've only had it
once at pay Corps, So I don't know if I
can take that title yet, but I'll take it for
the moment.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm thinking about rescinding it because of the skyline thing.
So that's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't know. I picked you off right off the bat.
I probably shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, you know, that's fine. Everybody has their flaws. You
had FC Cincinnati about two months ago for the first time,
and obviously you know they saw their winning streak get
snapped in New York on Saturday night, but still this
team is playing a lot better than when you had
it in early March.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yes, I think that they're playing a lot better, and
certainly the results would speak to that. What's interesting is that,
like you know, Pat Noonan has said it, I've been
thinking it, and most of you know the ML's experts
have too, which is that they're still not playing anywhere
close to their best soccer mo. I mean when you
think about what this is supposed to look like in
the attacking front between Kevin Dane and Luke, Roshano and Evander,
(01:28):
and how much money they spent on all three of
those guys alone, and the sort of new three headed
monsters that exists on the west end of Sixcinatti comparatively
to Lucio O Brenner and Brandon Vasquez, it still isn't
good enough. And Patten Newton has said that, particularly from
Luke Orishano, who gets to score. The five game winning
streak was great, and Patt Newton had said it recently.
He basically said, you know we are We've been playing
(01:51):
slightly above average with a really good record, and I
think that that's that's true because when you look at
their performances, I haven't really been overwhelmed, and I think
a lot of the Orange Blue faiful are still looking
for that one or two games where you know, they
play for ninety minutes, they're solid defensively, they score a
few goals, and they blow a team out, because that's
what's expected of this group. Now they continue to do
(02:11):
in a one goal fashion, and so be it. But
I think that the expectations are really high, and I
still think that they're best soccer is ahead of him.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's kind of the question we've
been asking for much of the season, and you know,
certainly could have asked it watching them last Saturday night,
and that's how do they generate more offense?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I think that Saturday was a bit of an
anomaly just because number one, you're playing on a baseball field. Now,
granted it's one of the best baseball fields in the
country in the home of my New York Metropolitans, but
it's tighter, it's more compact. You know, it's a little
bit difficult as far as the surface is concerned, because
you've got fake stab overwhelmped at the infield and the
whole thing. But then you also were missing obing a
(02:49):
Wobodo for another game. Right, He's missed now four out
of the last five, having just come back from injury
against fort in Kansas City, and then he picked up
a knock before training ahead of the New York City game,
and then Pavel Bucamo. You know, you can make the
argument that he's been the most important player for f
C Cincinnati. I'm not saying the best, but I'm saying
the most important, and that hurts him against New York
City FC. And then I mentioned Luke O'shano. He hasn't
(03:11):
scored yet, And to be honest, I still think despite
the fact that Kevin Dente is towards the top of
the charts and MLS of scoring, I still think he's
get to hang in the lead, and I still think
that he's trying to figure it out. And I still
think that Pat Newton is trying to figure out what
his best personnel is. We've been his formation within the
three back system, whether it's a three four to two
one or three five to two. So with all those
(03:31):
things in mind, MO I think that it's sort of
been this nasty little cocktail of not being able to
see the best of FC Cincinnati yet. But again it's
not a call for concern. It's more so just how
the first eleven weeks have gone for this group.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think the kids would say FC Cincinnati has first
world problems.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yes, exactly, Yes, very much, that first world problem.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No question. I feel like at times this year, including
on Saturday night, I know they lost the game, I
think we are seeing the best of Roman Celentano, which
is saying something yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And you know, Pat talked about sort of the twenty
twenty four that he had and how it wasn't nearly
as good as the twenty twenty three, and his decision
making and positioning and all these little things that you know,
goalkeepers have to be perfect on otherwise you're going to
get killed by the media and you're going to get
killed in the game. He's been almost perfect on. He's
kept them in games, and you think about the National
Game and sort of like the greatest ninety seconds that
(04:23):
a goalkeeper can have with a penalty kick save and
then a double save off the ensuing corner. He's been huge.
And Nick Haglan, the real pride of Cincinnati. He's also
been huge, right. I mean, I think that the back
line and getting Matt and the Alga back, and more importantly,
Nick Haglan, you know, coming in at what thirty two
years of age, back to back season ending injuries, has
come in and beaten out Hilbert and flora Is so
(04:44):
that starting spot along the back line on the right side,
and Flora's arguably was was going to have that starting spot.
And I think that the communication that Hagland brings along
with Celentano, I think that the defense and the holding
central midfielders for Cincinnati has sort of subtly grabbed more
the headlines because of number one, the results that they've
had and the one goal wins that they've had, but
(05:05):
more importantly, because the FC Cincinnati attack hasn't been setting
the world on fire.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I look at Austin, I see a team that doesn't
score all that much. Where do they present some challenges
for FC Cincinnati tomorrow. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, they have a real difficult time putting the ball
in the back of the that And honestly, for Niko Stevens,
who's the head coach and he was an assistant on
a Greg Berhalter with US the national team. That's really
not much of a surprise, and that's sort of why
he got stacked by FC Dallas before he headed over
to Austin. They've had those sorts of difficulties. They too,
are a team who's invested heavily in their front thirty
(05:37):
ten million dollars for Brandon Vasquez, six and a half
million for Osman Bukari, twelve million for Mito Rozumi. I mean,
you know, another group that has uptown problems, but you know,
their problems are a lot more deep rooted than Cincinnati's.
At the moment, they posed some problems just because of
the fact that on their day they can be one
of the best defensive sides in Major League Soccer. I mean,
(05:58):
through match Phase seven they only conceded three goals. Then
they get their doors blown off by Vancouver, who has
been setting the world on fire and who arguably is
the best team in the region right now within Coca
cap in Canada and Mexico and the United States. But
you know, right now they're in a bad way. They're
coming off their work home loss in club history. They
almost lost the help half the Locomotive and US Open Cup.
(06:18):
They were down two nil inside of the first forty
five minutes. They needed two goals from Brandon Vasquez in
order to get them back into the game in the
final fifteen minutes. But I would expect them to come
out angry and expect them to come out organized. They've
been giving up a lot of goals recently. But if
I'm Patt Noon and I'm looking at at Austin and
I'm saying, you know, they're traveling at two FC Cincinnati,
and this needs to be a win. Because let's just
(06:39):
not forget Pat Newton's first game in charge in twenty
twenty two against Austin, he got a doors blown off
five minutes. Now, that was before a lot of their
really really good pieces had arrived. There were in the
starting eleven. But I would have to imagine this is
this is going to be a game that Cincinnati want
coming off their first loss of the season.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
All right, So the match starts at seven thirty tomorrow,
I believe on match day. The Court Street skyline opens
I believe at three o'clock. So I'm just saying, you
get a good pregame meal, you could check that box off,
be a real Cincinnati and go have a great call
tomorrow night. Okay, listen, no.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I love the idea. I was planning on getting the
tul early so I could set up shop and watch
my Knicks while I'm doing my Prepper You're next guy too.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I'm a huge Nicks guy, though huge, absolutely huge. I've
been losing my mind for the past week. We are
the greatest, most clutch playoff team in the history of
the NBA, and I will not hear anything otherwise.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
All Right, so you live here, you're a Knicks fan,
you eat the skyline. We're gonna be best friends. We're
good to go. Okay, I love it though, right, have
a great call tomorrow. I appreciate the time as always, man,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yep.
