    The Cannon Crรผe returns for the playoffs as Granit, Ryan, and Patrick dissect Charleston Batteryโ€™s first-round clash with Rhode Island FC.

    Rain-Out, Blow-Out: Battery 5-0 Switchbacks

    ain couldnโ€™t stop the Batteryโ€”only supercharged them. In this episode, Granit and Ryan break down the 5-0 demolition of Colorado Springs Switchbacks, from Aaron Malloyโ€™s bank-shot free-kick masterclass to VGOโ€™s first professional goal. The Crรผe relives the soaked-to-the-bone madness, celebrates Nate De Santosโ€™ redemption arc, and debates the great U.S. playoff conundrumโ€”should the best team really have to win twice? The guys also talk PK strategy, back-line chemistry, golden-boot drama between Cal & MD, and how one orange-clad Sasquatch keeper may never live down a night in Charleston. Wrap up your ponchos and your pint glassesโ€”the Battery are storming toward the playoffs, and the Crรผe are ready to shout it from the Regimentโ€™s chili-dog-scented parking lot.

    Jennings, MD, Rubio: Goals Worth the Wait! CHS 3, Root 3, points shared

    Highlights The three goals breakdown (Jennings header, MDโ€™s volley, Rubioโ€™s finish).The playful chaos about parking passes and tailgates and Queen Bees (Yellow Lot supremacy vs. Blue Lot madness).Shoutouts to Batteryโ€™s fan culture on Hispanic Heritage Night.The spicy keeper debate (Luis vs. Christianโ€”who should get the gloves for playoffs?). Show Notes The Crรผe is back with tales from Hispanic Heritage Night, parking lot politics, and a match that had it all: frustration, brilliance, and three bangers in the net. We start with sideline storiesโ€”refereeing chaos in youth games, wedding trips with babies in tow, and the eternal Yellow Lot vs. Blue Lot debate. Then itโ€™s into the heavy stuff: keeper concerns, defensive lapses, and whether culture in the locker room matches the culture in the stands. But at the heart of it all, we celebrate what makes the beautiful game beautiful: that itโ€™s for everyone. Hispanic Heritage Night was a reminder of how important it is to honor and embrace cultures that come together around the pitch. Soccer transcends politics and differencesโ€”it thrives when we celebrate who we are, together. And yes, we also revel in the fireworks: Jenningsโ€™ meaty forehead, MDโ€™s thunderstrike, and Rubioโ€™s late dagger had Patriots Point rocking. With playoffs looming, the Crรผe debates what matters most: form, fan culture, or just putting Christian back between the sticks.

    Cal Strikes x 2, Playoffs Clinched, Battery 2, Indy one (way ticket home)

    Charleston Battery secured their playoff spot with a 2โ€“1 win over Indy Eleven, fueled by a Cal Jennings brace in front of a sold-out Patriots Point crowd. In this episode, Granit, Patrick, and Ryan break down the highs, lows, and โ€œWTFโ€ moments of the match โ€” from clinical penalties to shaky keeping and referee chaos. The crew also debates playoff readiness, supporter culture at Patriots Point, and preview the upcoming clash with Oakland Roots. Highlights: Cal Jennings scores a penalty and capitalizes on a defensive error. MD Myers earns the PK through sheer grit in the box. 91% team passing accuracy โ€” but still room to sharpen the attack. Concerns over Zamudioโ€™s consistency in net. Referees swallow whistles on repeated fouls, forcing early subs. Granit and Pirmann agree: I'd rather play like crap and win. Supporter Talk: South Stand atmosphere debate โ€” should benches be swapped? Call for a true โ€œYellow Wallโ€ revival behind the goal for playoffs. Selfie sticks banned, but apparently beer-passing not policed. Quotes from the Pitch: Cal Jennings: โ€œMD did a fantastic job drawing the penaltyโ€ฆ happy the work paid off.โ€ Coach Pirmann: โ€œFlat out disappointing. Only 2 or 3 guys played a complete performance tonight.โ€ Looking Ahead: Oakland Roots visit Patriots Point next. Predictions: Ryan (3โ€“1 Battery), Patrick (2โ€“2 Draw), Granit (2โ€“0 Battery, El Pulpo clean sheet).

    Battery Shock Pittsburgh: From Louisville Wreckage to Redemption

    This week on Cannon Crรผe, Granit and Patrick break down Charleston Batteryโ€™s road win in Pittsburghโ€”our first since 2018. We cover: Waves, storms, and the unfortunate postponement of Surfers Healing ๐ŸŒŠThe rotation puzzle: who sat, who stepped up, and what it means for the playoff pushJoeyโ€™s drop, Arturoโ€™s redemption, and why Aaron Malloy might be the drywall holding up our entire soccer house ๐Ÿ Referees who couldnโ€™t spot an offside (not โ€œoffsidesโ€!) if it bit themThe glorious forehead of Rubio RubinPatrick beams in from a shaky Wi-Fi connection in a faraway land, which adds to the chaos and the comedy. But despite the tech hiccups, we pull together a proper post-mortem of the match, and even manage to make a few decent coaching points that Ben probably stole from us. Bonus at the EndStick around after the outro music for a little โ€œbehind-the-podโ€ moment: Patrick and I tryingโ€”and failingโ€”to figure out a tech issue mid-recording. Itโ€™s clunky, itโ€™s awkward, and itโ€™s undeniable proof that while we may know our soccer, we are absolute amateurs when it comes to, wellโ€ฆ everything else.

    From Miami Heat to Rowdiesโ€™ Defeat: Derby Glory & Davy Jones

    The Charleston Battery just served up a double-dose of dominance, and the Cannon Crรผe is on one. Granit, Ryan, and Patrick open with Charlestonโ€™s biggest moment of the season: a third-straight win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies, ending their Jaegermeister Cup hopes, keeping the No Quarter Derby Trophy firmly in Charleston, and crushing their Jaegermeister Cup dreams and sending them straight to Davy Jones' Locker. Thereโ€™s controversy, thereโ€™s violence (looking at you, Christian Garner backheel foul), and thereโ€™s plenty of spice โ€” including some pointed referee critiques and theories about dark arts at play. Then itโ€™s on to the Miami match, where the Battery kept their momentum rolling with a solid home win, controlling the game from midfield and continuing to climb the table. From on-field brilliance to referee blunders, from Christian Garner getting kicked to the No Quarter Derby Trophy staying in Charleston, this episode fires on all cylinders โ€” with a heavy dose of pirate trash talk and well-earned rivalry gloating.
