FC Cincinnati beat Detroit City FC in its third friendly and improved to 1-0-2, heading into the final week of the preseason. We discuss Pat Noonan's lineup change, Kevin Denkey's third goal in three games and more, before sharing a pre-recorded chat with special guest Roman Celentano. Topics covered with Celentano include his thoughts going into Year 5 of his MLS career, how the new 8-second rule changes his distribution, what preseason is like for players, whether he plans to keep the mustache and whether he has upgraded for good from carrying his things into TQL Stadium in a Kroger bag to an actual handbag. In this episode, we also officially announce the launch of Queen City Press Podcast to a public audience as MLSSoccer.com's Tyler Snipes joins Laurel in a weekly preview show that will air on Fridays. You'll continue to get all the premium content as a paid subscriber, with what we are now calling "Insider" content, including more interviews with FC Cincinnati players and personnel, priority access to video interviews after practices and games and more. After this episode, all ads will move to the public show. Our "Insider" edition will be ad free. On that note: Special thanks to Hoist for sponsoring!
