S11 E21 Jersey Swap - San Jose Earthquakes - Abram Heredia from Tectonic Takes

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 03:23:00 GMT

The highs and lows from the past week indicate that there is a lot to polish on this FC Cincinnati squad before the Leagues Cup. Much can be said about "highs" and "lows" describing the last time the Orange & Blue clashed against this week's opponent, the San Jose Earthquakes.

Back in 2024, Cincinnati pulled off an incredible come-from-behind effort at San Jose, riding a Yuya Kubo hat trick off the bench. However, that was the last match with Matt Miazga, who was lost for the season due to a knee injury.

Since then, the Quakes have retooled the front office, and that influx of positivity has been felt in the roster. 2025 was a bounce-back season for San Jose behind Bruce Arena, and 2026 has started with just as much momentum, despite an injury list that has taken vital spots off the roster.

We ask Abram from Tectonic Takes to give us his opinion on San Jose's drastic change to the attack and the recharge of youth in the lineup. How different will this result be from the last time the Quakes came to TQL?

The Post Cincy — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 11:12:20 GMT

S11 E20 Jersey Swap - HELL IS REAL #1 - Caleb Denorme from Massive Report

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 01:22:00 GMT

Eight months? Has it been that long since we had experienced one of the tensest "Hell Is Real" derbies for ourselves?

Fresh off of the relaunch of the 2026 MLS season, the gates reopen for the first time this year. The Orange & Blue walk into the mouth of the enemy, taking on the Columbus Crew in the first Ohio derby of the season.

While FC Cincinnati merely readjusted the tools in place, Columbus have been undergoing vast renovations. Not only is Wilfried Nancy out the door for greener pastures, but so is his replacement. The Columbus front office has moved their parts quickly during the off time, making this next installment difficult to predict.

So what can we expect in the state capital? We ask Caleb Denorme from Massive Report to rejoin us and educate the Cincinnati public on the mammoth changes made in the Crew's roster.

S11 E19 Jersey Swap – Vancouver Whitecaps – Michael McColl from AFTN

CST Media, LLC — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:08:00 GMT

The World Cup is nearing its denouement, which means that Major League Soccer is reigniting their engines. (Maybe that's just adding to the poor air quality around here lately.)

FC Cincinnati's first opponent after the long break? Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the head honchos of the Western Conference. The Caps got a surprising reprieve on Thursday after their match with Chicago was put on hold due to the environment. However, that just means the squad gets extra rest before Wednesday's matchup.

To know more about our opponent, we talk with soccer commentator and reporter Michael McColl from the "Away From The Numbers" podcast and website. Michael gives us a better look at how Jesper Sørensen has prepared his club for the long run. Considering what the state of Ohio had gone through, perhaps he can also shine a brighter light on the #SaveTheCaps campaign as well.

Ep 374 - The Transfer Window is Open! What, or rather Who, is on the shopping list? Who is on the chopping block? And a 5-0 Friendly!

The Post Cincy — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 19:17:21 GMT

Kevin and Grayson are here to emotionally unpack the transfer window for you. What does this team need to do, what did they say they would do, and how do we go about judging them for having done it all? The biggest areas of need for the team is certainly a hot topic. And what does The FC's run of form to end the first half of the season change when it comes to what's on the shopping list?
