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

    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?

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

    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. Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

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

    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.

    S11 E13 Jersey Swap - Chicago Fire FC - Alex Campbell from CHGO Fire Podcast

    The 2026 season is almost three months old, yet FC Cincinnati has already closed the regular-season booklet on two teams. After positive results against Toronto and Red Bull New York, the Orange & Blue look to improve their numbers against a much-improved Chicago squad. While Chicago stumbled in the U.S. Open Cup, Gregg Berhalter's guys put a hurt on Sporting Kansas City last weekend. However, we've seen what happens when this Fire defense takes their mind off the task at hand. Can Cincinnati march into Soldier Field and steal points again? We sit down with Alex from the CHGO Fire podcast to get a second primer on this Chicago attack. Is Hugo Cuypers ready to claim an MVP crown? Does the Chicago defense have the holes FCC exposed the last time around? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

    S11 E12 Jersey Swap - Red Bull New York - Michael Battista from Red Bulls Nation

    If we didn't get our fill from the bite taken out of The Big Apple, Cincinnati fans are getting a second mouthful right away. FC Cincinnati leaves the blue side of the Empire City, only to welcome Red Bull New York to TQL Stadium this Saturday. The Orange & Blue had their difficulties in the first leg of the matchup a few weeks ago, and the longer injury list only makes the work harder. However, RBNY has also managed to be consistent with their inconsistencies. While Cincinnati was locked in a 4-4 draw with NYCFC, Red Bull had their own high-scoring stalemate on Wednesday. What type of growing pains has new head coach Michael Bradley experienced with his young squad? We sit down with Michael from Red Bulls Nation and the new New York Soccer Journal to set up the chessboard again between Cincy and Red Bull New York. Can we expect a flurry of goals this weekend as well? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!
