    Episode 150: FC Cincinnati Drops 6 on Orlando City | Evander In MVP Form + Realistic FCC 2nd Half Expectations

    FC Cincinnati head into the World Cup break after a massive 6-2 win over Orlando City at TQL Stadium, powered by a historic night from Evander with 2 goals and 3 assists as he set a new FCC record with five goal contributions in a single match. Kenji Mboma Dem added his first MLS brace, Denkey stayed red hot, and FCC extended their streak to seven straight matches with multiple goals scored as the attack continues to roll. But even in a dominant win, the same concerns remained: FCC conceded first again, looked vulnerable defensively for stretches, and still feel like one of the most dangerous yet unpredictable teams in MLS. We break down the Orlando match, Evander’s unreal form, Roman’s huge late saves, Pat Noonan’s comments, and then dive into a full FC Cincinnati first half of season breakdown with expectations, concerns, standout players, and what still needs to improve heading into the second half of the year.

    FCC’s West Coast trip ended with 6 goals scored, 8 conceded, and more proof that this FCC attack can hurt anyone in MLS.

Now with Orlando City coming to TQL before the World Cup break, FCC has one last chance to head into the pause with momentum.

    Episode 147: FC Cincinnati STUN Chicago Fire | Roman career night & Evander’s first hat trick! Albright Comments & Charlotte Preview

    FC Cincinnati somehow stole a chaotic 3-2 win over Chicago Fire, powered by Evander’s first career hat trick—including a 90+7’ winner—and a career night from Roman Celentano, who made 8 saves and stopped a penalty. Despite going down to 10 men and facing 32 shots, FCC found a way to grind it out and secure all three points. Now unbeaten in five and up to 6th in the East, the results are improving—even if the performances still raise questions.

    Episode 146: Are FC Cincinnati BACK?! Denkey Stays Hot | Season Turning Point? + Chicago Preview

    FC Cincinnati are back in the win column with a 2-0 result over the Red Bulls, but more importantly, this felt like real progress from a short-handed group that finally put together a complete performance. Kevin Denkey stayed red hot with another brace while Evander and Bucha controlled the game, and a makeshift backline stepped up to secure a much-needed clean sheet. Now unbeaten in four, the question is whether this is the turning point—or just another step forward for a team still figuring itself out.
