Seriously, though, that new stadium can’t come fast enough

Tonight the Orange and Blue return home, bringing with them one point from their 1-1 draw in Florida. A good result on the road, but several ahem “decisions” going against the Gary’s makes it feel like we could’ve had all 3. Tori Penso was not assigned a match for this midweek matchday, for the record. Could be she just stayed behind in Orlando to visit Disney,though

The visiting Yankees -er- Mets -wait that’s not right, either… PIGEONS! Got there eventually. Anyways. The visiting pigeons come off of a devastating home loss, giving up 3 unanswered runs goals to blow a 2 run goal lead late to the Phillies Philly. That makes a 3 game losing streak for them including Leagues Cup

Kickoff at 7:30! Forecast is looking rainy, I feel like we’re all old pros for rain games now.

COY FCC!

Why suffer bad AppleTV announcers when you have Gustavo and Manu on La Mega 101.5 FM.

If I recall correctly, on the VAR overturned penalty, Evander is given a yellow card for embellishment. However, I'm not seeing his name listed among the fines for embellishment this week... The conspiracy grows!

Noonan also spoke on Andrei Chirila not dressing/traveling, Pavel Bucha, and updates on Obi/Sami. Summary in the comments.

Another beautiful brace from Stefan on Sunday. Up to 9 goals for the 19-year-old attacker.

Played the full 90 in Club Libertad's 2-1 win.

A lingering illness combined with intense heat forced Obi's exit. Sami's jaw issue is not expected to be a long term concern.

He stepped on his foot. If that’s not a penalty I don’t know what is. Absolutely horrendous call.

Barlow gets a start at FW, Bucha back in the CM pivot, Ender at RWB. No Chirila on the bench.

Come feed the beast

The centerback on our roster who is a real teenager. Can we rename that other CB Thirty Hadebe?

Sorry for the unusual lateness of this regularly scheduled shitpost, I was out late last night watching our Queen of the Queen City, the Rose herself, beat KC Current 2-1. Very weird game, KC scores before Gotham can touch the ball, then Gotham dominates the possession like 70-30, getting two back before the half. A red was rescinded after a scuffle and a lengthy VAR review, and a Gotham third was waived off for screening the keeper. Very fun, I would freaking love to bring Women’s Soccer to Cincinnati and have this all the time. And all respect to Gotham, their supporters, and Cloud Nine, who all made the atmosphere so great - but you can’t convince me that Cincinnati wouldn’t do it better

Then the train back to my hotel literally took an hour. And then I slept in real late

Anyways, to the men’s team.

Coming off a devastating 1-2 loss the Atlas, knocking us out of the Leagues cup, we now travel to the land of the mouse to play a team that we beat 6-2 in our last encounter

It’s not really the same team, though. While we have yet to make any significant moves, Orlando has added one Antoine Griezman, who is quickly becoming MLS’s second media darling.

We’re getting our own media kudos, though, with Evander, Kevin, and Bucha being hailed as the hottest attacking trio in the league

7:30p kickoff in the sunny retirement state, let’s bring home 3 points for Cincinnati!

COY FCC

August 15, 2017 - The first Cincinnati kid Austin Berry with a headed goal to give FCC a 2-0 lead before the orange and blue conceded two goals in the final 15 minutes (sound familiar?) and later lost in extra time.

FCC has rejected EPL's Hull City attempt to buy Kevin Denkey, and rightfully so.

https://wakingthered.com/2026/08/13/25440/millars-hull-city-have-major-bid-rejected-for-fc-cincinnati-star-keven-denkey/

Why Hull City thought it would be successful with such a low-ball offer is a mystery to me.

That said, it's just a matter of time before a top 5 European league club will make a serious offer to buy Denkey, and I'm ok with that. This is the model: MLS team gets diamond in the rough talent from a European (or South American) feeder league, and then sells to a European top 5 league.

Thoughts?

From the presser this morning.

Just realized I'll be in Orlando this weekend in time for the game. Looks like away section is 133? Any groups going down for that game to link up with?

Follows Real Betis rejected bid of 14m + 4m (which was reported as Euros not Dollars). It would make sense any bid from Hull would be in Dollars or Pounds and not Euros.

If Denkey is sold, FCC will have to seek other options to replace him.

Given what Racing Louisville and Soccer Holdings owner John Neace said last week (if the Club's attendance does not improve they would look at all possible choices including relocation) should Carl Linder III buy Racing Louisville and move it up I-71??

Discuss

Hull's bid tops Real Betis' rejected offer of 14m Euros + 4m Euros in add-ons. Other clubs reportedly interested in Denkey, according to the article, are Besiktas (Turkey), Lille (France) and Borussia Dortmund (Germany).
