    Tunnel Talk 220: Hartford Ends Detroit City FC’s Season. Pass the Wine.

    Good evening, America. We’re still in the Tunnel waiting on Schoolcraft County to send the votes by sled dog. Unfortunately, we already have a final from Keyworth: Hartford 2, Detroit City FC 1. We showed up in black without coordinating. The pot roast needed a cup of red wine. We needed the rest. With our usual rules expert unavailable, we turn to the highest authority on the call: somebody who’s reffed second-grade soccer. Was Kobe Hernandez-Foster’s red deserved? Why did City wait so long for fresh legs? And before we give Cheikh Niang too much shit for missing from a yard out, one of us has a confession about missing from even closer at the same damn goal. Then we pick next year’s roster with all the authority the front office has granted us: none. Who stays, who gets Darren Smith some help, and who brings Carlos Herrera back? Shout-outs to Wayne State women’s soccer, everybody who voted, and everybody who still loves this dumbass team. Us included. 00:00 Election Night at Channel 4:51. Send the sled dogs. 02:30 A mug of tears, a pot roast, and two tablespoons of wine for the empanadas 05:29 Kobe Hernandez-Foster sees red. Ask the second-grade ref. 12:06 Dennis joins with the view from a Chicago taco spot 18:35 Ten men, plenty of chances. How did City lose to Hartford? 20:49 Cheikh Niang’s miss and a confession from the same goal at Keyworth 25:51 Who was supposed to help Darren Smith score goals? 29:23 Alex Dalou earns his start. Why did the subs come so late? 33:34 Did Danny Dichio have City ready for Hartford? 37:57 The Hartford curse and the man who used to babysit the supporters 40:20 How City gave up both goals 44:01 Our predictions were wrong. Let’s pick next year’s roster. 51:19 Who should City bring back? Carlos Herrera, the captain, and more 59:11 Election shout-outs and Dennis finally gets to hear his name live 1:03:16 Wayne State women’s soccer deserves some love 1:06:52 Final shout-outs and sign-off 1:08:32 Outro music

    Tunnel Talk 219: DCFC Playoffs: Golden Glove, Missing Goals & Hartford Anxiety

    The crew gathers in the tunnel for a special playoff edition, with birthday divas getting dragged before anyone bothers talking about football. City’s goalless draw at Louisville offers two choices: celebrate another clean sheet or ask why the fuck nobody scores. Carlos Herrera gets his Golden Glove appreciation, the defense gets its credit, and the attack gets some questions. Then comes Hartford at Keyworth. The crew debates lineup choices, discipline, and whether Friday brings a breakthrough or another evening of penalty-shootout anxiety. Predictions include red cards, endangered beers, and goalkeeper fan fiction nobody asked for. The regular season is over. The worrying isn’t.

    Tunnel Talk 218: Rhode Island Narcs, a 10-Man DCFC Win & Tampa Bay

    Detroit City FC went down a man in the 23rd minute, beat Rhode Island anyway, and locked up a home playoff match. So naturally, some Rhode Island fans found time to complain about the smoke at Keyworth. ⚜️ The Tunnel Talk crew gathers in the tunnel and gets into Herrera’s red card, Saldaña stepping in, Darren Smith’s winner, and the late corner-kick confrontation. They debate Haruki Yamazaki’s Black Arrow MVP award, whether City’s defense is strong enough to carry a playoff run, and why the attack still leaves them wanting more. Then comes the trip to first-place Tampa Bay, the race for playoff position, and the question of Danny Dichio’s future. And yes, the crew has plenty to say about some Rhode Island podcast’s complaints and its response to a Flint water joke.

    Tunnel Talk 217: Poppers, Penalties & the Black Arrow Debate | Detroit City FC

    The crew got dragged into the tunnel on a Wednesday they were supposed to have off. Red opens with a story about nearly taking leftover Fourth of July poppers on a date, and Alan’s absence becomes a disciplinary matter of questionable legitimacy. Eventually, somebody remembers there are three matches left in Detroit City FC’s regular season. The crew breaks down the win over Birmingham, debates whether Le Rouge has found its playoff lineup, and asks the uncomfortable question: Will City score enough to survive a postseason match where one conceded goal might end the night? Darren Smith’s pursuit of a club scoring mark enters the conversation, along with several arguments about what those numbers mean. Then comes the Black Arrow vote. Haruki, Kobe Hernandez, Carlos Herrera, and others make their cases for player of the year before the crew turns to Rhode Island predictions. Shout-outs somehow lead to Chattanooga, territory rights, promotion and relegation, and a grocery-store argument. Standard Tunnel Talk, more or less. ⚜️🎙️

    Tunnel Talk 216: Kobe Scores From Another ZIP Code and the Refs Lose the Plot

    The Crew gathered in the tunnel again this week... and somehow an unexpected jersey delivery, a shirtless encounter with a stranger and the proposed Channel 4:51 OnlyFans all occurred before anyone remembered this was supposed to be a Detroit City FC podcast. Eventually, the crew gets down to business with a blind ranking of Detroit City’s English players. Dave Edwardson, Ben Morris, Omar Sinclair, Will Mellors-Blair and Danny Deakin enter the rankings—and almost everyone immediately regrets the decisions being made. Then it’s time to recap seven points from three matches. Le Rouge defeated Pittsburgh, survived a certified snoozefest against Colorado Springs and escaped Brooklyn with a 3–1 victory. Darren Smith delivered, Callum Montgomery restored Detroit’s lead and Kobe Hernandez-Foster launched an approximately 80-yard wondergoal from another postal district. The crew examines Danny Dichio’s successful midweek rotation, the substitutes who changed the Brooklyn match and a penalty decision so ridiculous that even a future “VAR-lite” system should be able to overturn it. With City firmly in third place, they also survey the playoff picture and debate whether Pittsburgh, Louisville or Rhode Island would be the least unpleasant first-round opponent. There are also stories from Detroit City’s charity jersey auctions, the questionable aroma of match-worn kits and predictions for Birmingham Legion’s visit to Keyworth. Two members of the crew predict a sensible 2–0 City win. One predicts 4–0 because restraint has never been a Channel 4:51 value. Finally, Red shares a powerful account of accompanying a recently released immigrant to an ICE check-in through Strangers No Longer—before the traditional Tunnel Talk shout-outs return the show to its regularly scheduled level of chaos.

    Tunnel Talk 215: Who Will Score for Detroit City FC? Hartford Heartbreak & Sacramento Preview

    The crew gathers in the tunnel once again this week to unpack two draws with two very different feelings. Detroit City FC survives a quiet trip to Louisville with a point, then watches Maxi Rodriguez’s apparent stoppage-time winner against Hartford slip away following an even later penalty at Keyworth. Was the call against Chisom Egbuchulam fair—or did all that smoke get in the way? The crew examines City’s persistent scoring problems, the availability of Darren Smith and Ates Diouf, and whether Maxi Rodriguez, Kian Williams, Alex Dalou or Michael Bryant can provide the needed attacking spark. They also preview the cross-country trip to Sacramento Republic, offer match and goalscorer predictions, assign themselves questionable television lower-thirds and deliver a few overdue apologies.

    Tunnel Talk 214: DCFC Handles Tampa Bay 1–0, Then Looks to Louisville

    The crew gathers in the tunnel once again this week to celebrate Detroit City’s massive 1–0 win over first-place Tampa Bay—possibly with a helping hand. Ates Diouf finds the winner, Aedan Stanley serves up the danger, Carlos Herrera slams the door, and the group asks whether this was Danny Dichio’s best night in charge of Le Rouge. Before getting serious, the crew dreams up the only Keyworth gate giveaways that matter: a supporter’s swear-word guide, booty shorts, a portable toilet seat, and a pre-match helmet. Then it’s on to the Eastern Conference table, a vulnerable Louisville, some wildly confident predictions, Kian Williams’ arrival, and the usual shout-outs—including a heartfelt salute to those who helped build the club behind the scenes. Somehow, colonoscopies and Kenny Rogers also make the cut.

    Tunnel Talk 213: Tulsa Heat, Missing Goals and a Tampa Bay Reality Check

    The Crew returns to the tunnel and immediately spends valuable recording time deciding what Europeans call American football, questioning the NFL’s overseas ambitions and proposing a 20-round, all-time Detroit City FC fantasy draft destined to end with someone selecting an MPSL backup fullback from 2013. Serious preparation continues to define Channel 4:51. Jam survives Tulsa, oppressive humidity and life as a self-described dehydrated queen. Rhys Williams’ family carries the away section, Le Rouge finally beats FC Tulsa and Darren Smith supplies another winning goal. Then Detroit returns home and lays an egg against Loudoun United. The Crew examines the scoreless draw, the crowded Eastern Conference table and DCFC’s continuing dependence on Smith. Detroit owns one of the league’s best defenses, yet no teammate has scored more than two league goals. Potential loan help receives a cautious welcome following several forgettable attempts from past seasons. First-place Tampa Bay visits Keyworth next, producing predictions ranging from a 2-0 Rowdies victory to a bold 1-0 Detroit win. Haruki Yamazaki continues getting kicked across every USL stadium, Carlos Herrera keeps Detroit alive and everyone searches for a secondary scoring option. Jam also shares details about the NGS Cares clothing drive supporting Sundays in Cass, plus an upcoming Freedom House community cleanup. The shoutouts cover Frank Lampard, Coventry City’s mysterious Detroit connection, a 1970 match at Keyworth, the missing Dennis, the women’s Black Arrow winner, Garret and Tunnel Talk’s growing audience in Burma. It’s Tunnel Talk: serious soccer analysis after twelve minutes of pointy-ball discourse and several avoidable detours.
