Plus, a busy international window for FC Cincinnati as Pavel Bucha is left off Czechia's World Cup roster, Andrei Chirila earns a U.S. U18 call-up, and FCC Academy prospects continue to impress at MLS NEXT Cup.

Ep 362 - International Duty Calls for Bucha and Robinson, but only one is going to the World Cup. PLUS Drafting a team of Cincinnati Restaurants

The Post Cincy — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 05:55:30 GMT

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are in the thick of international duty now with Pavel Bucha being called up to the Czech Republic, only to be turned down just hours away from the World Cup roster deadline! Miles Robinson made a play that is being shared all over the internet, just not for anything good he did. Then in Part Two it’s the first in what is sure to be a long running series of building an MLS team! DPs, U22s, and TAM players made up of Cincinnati restaurants.

USMNT 2026 World Cup Roster Reaction 🇺🇸 Biggest Snubs, Starting XI & 22’ vs 26’ Roster Comparison

Chatterbox Sports — Wed, 27 May 2026 22:00:00 GMT

The USMNT’s official 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, and there is a lot to unpack. Mauricio Pochettino’s squad blends experienced veterans from the 2022 World Cup with a new generation of talent, and in this episode we break down the biggest surprises, roster omissions, projected starting XIs, and what realistic expectations should be for the United States heading into a home World Cup.

We also dive into the FC Cincinnati angle with Miles Robinson’s potential role in the tournament, compare this roster to the 2022 squad in Qatar, and discuss whether this is the strongest USMNT group of the modern era. With the World Cup officially here, this roster announcement gives us our clearest picture yet of how the United States plans to compete on home soil in 2026.

Episode 150: FC Cincinnati Drops 6 on Orlando City | Evander In MVP Form + Realistic FCC 2nd Half Expectations

Chatterbox Sports — Tue, 26 May 2026 01:44:18 GMT

FC Cincinnati head into the World Cup break after a massive 6-2 win over Orlando City at TQL Stadium, powered by a historic night from Evander with 2 goals and 3 assists as he set a new FCC record with five goal contributions in a single match. Kenji Mboma Dem added his first MLS brace, Denkey stayed red hot, and FCC extended their streak to seven straight matches with multiple goals scored as the attack continues to roll.

But even in a dominant win, the same concerns remained: FCC conceded first again, looked vulnerable defensively for stretches, and still feel like one of the most dangerous yet unpredictable teams in MLS. We break down the Orlando match, Evander’s unreal form, Roman’s huge late saves, Pat Noonan’s comments, and then dive into a full FC Cincinnati first half of season breakdown with expectations, concerns, standout players, and what still needs to improve heading into the second half of the year.

Ep 360 - INSANE 6-2 Victory over Orlando to send FC Cincinnati into the summer break with the vibes has high as the sky! KMD's emergence, Dado G+ star, and Miles makes the USMNT!

The Post Cincy — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:30:46 GMT

Kevin, The Chief, and podcast debutant Shawn are here to talk all about that insane performance against Orlando City this weekend. The offense, it appears, has been fixed. Kenji Mboma Dem has emerged as the second striker we've been looking for, Dado is a G+ Boost stud, and Roman makes his last second pitch to Poch. In Part Two it's a conversation about what's next for the team and the podcast this summer, including Miles Robinson making the USMNT!

Grade A - 2026 MD13 Miami and MD14 San Diego

Nathan Hale, Stephen Buckeridge, and Adam Weigand — Fri, 22 May 2026 21:00:00 GMT

A double dose of Grade A.

The ratings are in from both games and with the WC break looming FCC has some important decisions to make.

S11 E17 Jersey Swap - Orlando City SC - Andrew DeSalvo from The Mane Land

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 22 May 2026 00:48:00 GMT

For years, the shoes have been on the wrong feet. The Boys in Orange & Blue have won on the road at Orlando, but they haven't been able to defend the castle well enough when the Pride from the South comes to TQL Stadium.

That's what makes the next matchup at home all the more inquisitive. Neither FC Cincinnati nor Orlando City SC have met expectations in 2026. Cincinnati has struggled defensively, while Orlando's porous defense has led to head coach Oscar Pareja getting sacked. Both squads are worst and second-worst in goals allowed in the East.

That means we're getting a 0-0 draw on Saturday, right? We ask Andrew from The Mane Land about that possibility and their chances at bouncing back after a recent spell of good offense.

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are finally starting to realize that the season is about to slam on the brakes and take a break for 8 weeks after this weekend. Is this the last time we’ll see a few of these players? Also Kevin went to the Kids Club player meet and greet, reviews and what was it like meeting Dado?

Episode 149: FC Cincinnati Remains Unpredictable & Chaotic in San Diego | Big Changes Coming? + Orlando Preview

Chatterbox Sports — Tue, 19 May 2026 01:43:56 GMT

FCC’s West Coast trip ended with 6 goals scored, 8 conceded, and more proof that this FCC attack can hurt anyone in MLS. Evander hit 50 career goal contributions for the club, Denkey continued his incredible form, and Tom Barlow delivered the latest equalizer in FCC regular season history in the wild 3-3 draw at San Diego. Now with Orlando City coming to TQL before the World Cup break, FCC has one last chance to head into the pause with momentum.

Ep 358 - A wild, last second goal salvages a point on the road vs bitter rival San Diego! FC Cincinnati bounces back before Orlando comes to town

The Post Cincy — Mon, 18 May 2026 02:51:16 GMT

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief start off with a slight tangent before jumping into the San Diego match. The “first choice” backline, Dado’s return to striker, and more changes. What on earth is this teams’ best look? FC Cincinnati's lineup was shaken up, but was it more to do with the congested match week and travel? Or is this a sign of something more changing behind the scenes?

S11 E16 Jersey Swap - San Diego FC - Craig Elsten from The Chromaniacs

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 15 May 2026 01:54:00 GMT

For decades, San Diego has been a hotbed of soccer, but mostly the indoor kind. The San Diego Sockers have captured multiple championships in the MISL and MASL, but outdoor soccer was merely a plausible project. The short-lived success of the San Diego Loyal in the USL bred the fertile grounds for the San Diego Wave in NWSL and the firestorm first season for San Diego FC.

Already SDFC have set seismic records in MLS, capturing the Western Conference crown in their first season. However, the second season has started with a bit of reality—Hirving Lozano's backstage fiascos have sidelined him, causing a drag on the team's momentum, and injuries have pulled SDFC closer to the bottom of the table.

As FC Cincinnati prepares for their first trip to "America's Finest City", we sit down with Craig Elsten, one of San Diego's most experienced play-by-play men and podcaster for The Chromaniacs. How has the city embraced SDFC after the Loyal's rise and fall? What worked so well for SDFC in the inaugural season, and how can that magic be replicated on Saturday?

Ep 357 - A Crazy, Crushing Defeat at the hands of Miami. The FC falls 5-3 in the end despite leading 3-2. Oh, and San Diego is coming up in 2 days.

The Post Cincy — Thu, 14 May 2026 04:07:09 GMT

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief recorded while the wound was fresh after FC Cincinnati came back from 1-0 to take a 3-2 lead, before losing 5-3 in the end to Leo Messi and company on 513 day. A tough time to give up 5 goals when the whole world found out just how much we are spending on defense. But is there anything to be optimist about? It depends on who you ask. And San Diego, The FC’s bitter rival, is this weekend. What the heck are the expectations now?

S11 E15 Jersey Swap - Inter Miami CF - Franco Panizo from Miami Total Futbol

CST Media, LLC — Tue, 12 May 2026 16:09:00 GMT

The sting is probably still there months after the fact. Yes, FC Cincinnati took down their rivals in a seismic series, but the tidal wave from Inter Miami was too much in the 2025 MLS Cup playoffs.

While the loss gave the Orange & Blue a chance to re-examine their mode of play, Miami went right to work retooling and revamping their champion-level roster. Legends have retired, only for others to take their place. Javier Marcherano left the coaching staff quickly after the season started. In the end, it's still Messi's team, but all of the offensive firepower has not led to complete dominance.

Much of the volume has been coming from off the pitch as well. We sit down with Franco from Miami Total Futbol to discuss Miami's shifting gears and their inability to put away their opponents. We also address the details off the pitch that have made the Miami press box a hotbed of controversy.

CST Episode 464 - Clash of the Queen Cities

Tue, 12 May 2026 15:31:00 GMT

Episode 148: FC Cincinnati Extend Their Unbeaten Streak| Best FCC Starting XI? + How FCC Can Stop Messi

Chatterbox Sports — Tue, 12 May 2026 01:59:38 GMT

FC Cincinnati extended their unbeaten streak to six matches with a frustrating 2-2 draw in Charlotte after dominating the first half before collapsing right after halftime. We break down another massive performance from Evander, Denkey continuing his scoring run, FCC’s growing 45-60 minute defensive issues, and why getting Miles Robinson and Obi back could be huge moving forward. Plus: Pat Noonan’s comments, Neymar and Roman rumors, FCC2 beating Columbus Crew 2, and previews for Miami.

Ep 356 - FC Cincinnati loses 2-2 vs Charlotte despite a stellar first half. Unbeaten in 6, with Miami coming to town, has The FC found its identity?

The Post Cincy — Mon, 11 May 2026 11:44:39 GMT

The Chief and Grayson were the only two brave enough to record following the 2-2 draw down in Charlotte. A 10 minute stretch ruined what was otherwise a great performance from FC Cincinnati, but those 10 minutes cost The FC all 3 points. Then in Part Two it’s a look ahead to the absolute circus that is coming to town wearing pink and unable to get out of the headlines.

S11 E14 Jersey Swap - Charlotte FC - LvlUp Luke from the Queen City Soccer Show

CST Media, LLC — Fri, 08 May 2026 02:15:00 GMT

It's taken a few weeks, but FC Cincinnati finally have an away win under their belt, all thanks to a big late shift by the squad in Chicago. The big question—can they pull off another big road victory?

That hasn't been the case when the Orange & Blue have visited their Queen City rivals in North Carolina. Cincinnati have failed to capture all three points over their four visits to Bank of America Stadium since Charlotte FC's debut in 2022.

However, Charlotte have been struggling to find form, losing their last three matches in MLS play. Has the offense lost its luster under Dean Smith? Is the defending line struggling ahead of goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina? We talk with Luke from the Queen City Soccer Show to get some answers before this Queen City Derby.
