Fallout: CITY WINS 1-0, taking down Colorado on the road

Bleav + Flyover Footy — Sun, 10 May 2026 13:34:28 GMT

St. Louis CITY SC defeats the Colorado Rapids 1-0 to earn Yoann Damet his 1st road win in league play as CITY head coach. Sangbin's goal from Bürki & Becher was the difference maker in an otherwise mundane match that didn't see a lot of other action on net. The Starting XI had plenty of storylines and 2 red cards made sure this match had fireworks regardless though - and we cover it all!

Fallout: CITY Falls 2-0 to Austin FC. Finishing Fails CITY Once Again

Bleav + Flyover Footy — Mon, 04 May 2026 17:50:28 GMT

St. Louis CITY SC drops another, this time a 2-0 loss at Austin FC. What feels different about this is the universal thought that CITY had this game - or at least the lead - and squandered it so badly. We recap THAT miss, the overall issues this team showed despite doing enough to have earned the win, talk on Damet's "lack of freshness" comment & more!

Q2 Stadium has been kind but these are two different teams. We recap the fallout to Chicago and preview Austin in full... plus some weird MLS NEXT Pro news & Don Garber (or his staffer) forgets to log into his burner account...

Bleav + Flyover Footy — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 14:55:06 GMT

St. Louis CITY SC falls to Seattle 4-1 and continues their streak of losses at Lumen Field. Matt Baker returns to recap this one with Santiago Beltran, and while there's a lot of problems to look at, it wasn't all bad. This match also featured the emotional return of Eduard Löwen and we were treated to a reminder of why he's such a special player on the field, as he scored just 3 minutes into his return!
