S11 E36 Jersey Swap - Nashville SC - Valair Shabilla from SixOneFive Soccer

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 04:21:00 GMT

The invitations to the playoffs in the East have been mailed. FC Cincinnati are hardly the debutantes to this postseason ball, but perhaps we were not expecting their final regular-season opponents to get top billing.

Nashville SC comes to town with a swagger we haven't seen in a while. The 2026 Supporters Shield winners lifted the silverware last week, but we saw their evidence of strength before. Nashville laid a 4-0 sledgehammer on FCC in August that landed like a prop guitar to the back of the head.

A good chunk of this Nashville squad could win individual accolades, but are they ready for the postseason? Can they avoid the postseason pitfalls that tripped up Cincinnati back in 2023?

We sit down with Valair from SixOneFive Soccer and the Pharmaceutical Soccer podcast to shine a spotlight on the Music City. What can Cincinnati do to improve their seeding and deny NashVegas the regular-season points record?

Episode 173: FC Cincinnati Clinch 5th Straight Playoff Berth! FCC Peaking At Right Time? Nashville Preview

Chatterbox Sports — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 01:58:24 GMT

FC Cincinnati clinched its fifth consecutive MLS Cup Playoff appearance with a 1-0 win over Philadelphia, but is this team peaking at the right time, and is making the playoffs enough for 2026?

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are cautiously optimistic about The FC after a huge win over Philadelphia Union on Halloween. With the defense looking…. Good(?) now, you gotta wonder why Teenage hasn’t been on the field all that much this year? Then in Part Two it’s Patreon questions including Candy vs Carmel Apple, Thanksgiving guests, and embracing debate about national insurance.

S11 E35 Jersey Swap - Philadelphia Union - Mike Barrera from AAT Sports Media Network

CST Media, LLC — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:37:00 GMT

A win, and they're in. But how simple can that win be on Saturday?

The 2026 season has been a difficult slog for some fans, but there's just a little bit of light at the end of that tunnel. If FC Cincinnati can't take down Philadelphia at home, that light could turn into an oncoming Amtrak out of 30th Street Station.

At first, it felt like the Union were bound for an early postseason. However, their draw in Nashville clinched an improbable comeback under Ryan Richter. If that was not enough proof for you, perhaps the 5-0 victory over the Orange & Blue in early September was.

We ask Mike Barrera from Across the Pitch, a podcast from the AAT Sports Media Network, for more context. How did a team floundering under Bradley Carnell pull the 180? How convincing is the argument for Cavan Sullivan's MVP odds? Most of all, does FCC have a legitimate shot at turning their fortunes around against a Philly squad with bigger fish to fry?

S11 E34 Jersey Swap - Inter Miami CF - Michelle Kaufman from Press Box Postscripts

CST Media, LLC — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 18:55:00 GMT

The playoffs seem visible for FC Cincinnati after a six-point week, but can they get through the dynamism that has defined MLS over the past three years?

Inter Miami may have a Campeones Cup to their name this year, but this isn't the world beaters from 2024 or 2025. Lionel Messi is still a superstar, but a cursory glance at the standings indicates a squad similar to FCC. All of that preseason promise has not quite led to dominance in 2026.

Does this mean there's actually a route to beat the Herons at home?

We talk with Michelle Kaufman, former writer for the Miami Herald, about the possible stumbling blocks Miami may encounter on Wednesday. We also discuss the difficulty facing sports journalists when it comes to covering the superstars coming to North America. Of course, we also ask about the chance for an upset at South Beach.

Episode 172: FC Cincinnati BACK-TO-BACK Ws vs DC! Hagglund's History, Evander Is Back! + Miami & Philly Preview

Chatterbox Sports — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:53:09 GMT

We break down back-to-back FC Cincinnati wins over D.C. United, Nick Hagglund making club history, Evander's MLS record, the players-only meeting after Hell Is Real, FCC's playoff push, and what changed defensively for the Orange and Blue.

Plus, we're discussing what is going on around the MLS, and previewing two massive upcoming matchups against Inter Miami and Philadelphia.

Ep 403 - A Winning Streak! A Clean Sheet! A Road Win! Can we play DC United Every match!? PLUS Inter Miami and Messi Up Next

The Post Cincy — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 11:17:02 GMT

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are finally talking about a winning streak, a road win, a clean sheet, and a road clean sheet! Did you know there’s only been three of them this year? But before taking soccer there is a strong political stand The PostCast has to take first. Then it’s onto FC Cincinnati being on a roll and might, just might, have already punched their playoff ticket. But a win on Wednesday (along with a Columbus loss) would actually secure it for real. Predicting the Miami match and plenty more.

S11 E33 Jersey Swap - D.C. United - Vikas Mendhiratta from the Capital City Soccer Show

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 21:20:00 GMT

This is a rare occurrence for the Jersey Swap this week, as our discussion covers both our last opponent and the next one. While we wait in limbo between the two matches, we still need to cover the past win and look forward to the next must-win.

FC Cincinnati supporters are able to see the progress in Wednesday's victory, but what comes from D.C. United's analysis? What silver linings can fans of the Black & Red glean from the result? More importantly, can head coach Rene Weiler pull D.C. closer to the wire going into a hectic final four-match stretch?

We sit down with Vikas from CCSS to get the Marylander's observations from Wednesday and the overall season. Can this team pull in enough offense with Tai Baribo as the main engine? What happens if the nation's capital goes through a seventh consecutive regular-season dry spell?

S11 E32 Jersey Swap - Columbus Crew - Michael Arace from The Disrespected

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 22:11:00 GMT

The last time Hell descended upon Ohio, the Crew scored the vital home win over a Cincinnati squad with a shoddy away form. This time around, Columbus comes back to the scene of their harshest derby defeat.

Both Ohio-based teams are struggling to make the MLS Cup playoffs again. However, while FC Cincinnati is struggling, Columbus might be peaking at the right time. The offense has been burning fuel at an impressive pace, but can they go full throttle without risking combustion in the defending half?

We talk with Michael Arace, former beat writer for the Columbus Dispatch and founder of The Disrespected, to view the Buckeye State chess board. Can FC Cincinnati stop this rising tide? Have the Crew done enough to overcome this season's insufficiencies?
