A couple of weird choices tonight

No Chirila at all tonight well likely know why in tonight’s press conference if it’s touched on

Robinson is fit enough to play I’m guessing nobody was expecting that. I wasn’t

And Rami is not staring tonight and is being replaced by Ender which is a very welcome surprise

Start it right off the bat, SAVE THE CAPS, no fan deserves to have their team taken from them

That out of the way, on with our regularly scheduled programing

It's back to league play, with the second hottest offense coming up against the second stingiest defense. This is feeling to me like the proverbial Unstoppable force and Unmovable object. The caps were supposed to restart their campaign last week vs the Fire, but it was postponed due to... well... fire. So both teams are coming in fresh, although the caps have a couple extra plane rides under their belt

No significant transfers yet this window for either team, with the only move being Gilberto Flores going out on loan back to Libertad Asunción. It's pre-transfer window action all around!

Tonight! 7:30p at TQL stadium! But actually 7:38p because coming back to MLS means games dont kick off when they say they do again! Be there and cheer on the boys for 90+ again!

COY FCC!

Flag guy here. Guys, thought we all got the memo that we could have unlimited flags this evening since I’m not in the Bailey. What are we doing?

I know the schedule for return to play after the World Cup was made well in advance but I mean, we literally get top of the table in the west Vancouver, that annoying yellow and black team and 2nd in the table San Jose as our first three matches back. 😅😅

Also, any predictions on starting lineups? I for one would like to see Chirila more. I’d also want to see Dado at CM and Bucha at Wingback. We seemed to do well with that line up prior to the break. Thoughts??

Hey, FC Cincinnati fans. I know many of you are subscribed to my Queen City Press content on Patreon, but for those who aren't able to or haven't yet committed to a paid subscription, I wanted to let you know about my free weekly podcast, co-hosted with Tyler Snipes of MLSSoccer.com and MLX NEXT Pro. We just launched it this season but rebranded during the break, so you can now find us under the Queen City Press Podcast network as Next 90. I've included the YouTube link, but we're also on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and it's also a free post on my Patreon site. We just re-launched today.

Pat foreshadows a "quieter window" with fewer additions (couple? few? 2-3) than the last two Summers. Graphic is Laurel's linked here: https://x.com/LaurelPfahler/status/2079232746136711510

Hi! We have tickets to the Hell is Real match in Cbus this weekend. We were lucky enough to go last year during playoffs and participate in the big march to the stadium, which was fantastic. Will there be a march this weekend? Where would fans meet for it if so?

1st goal for Badji with Phoenix. 7 goals in 15 matches for Loca with Miami FC.

More starts for 16-year-old phenom Connor Dale and Liverpool loanee Mrozek.

18-year-old CB recently made his debut for the first team vs. Burnley.

The term humiliation was used by Honduran journalist Gustavo Roca on social media to describe the defeat. Scuffle occured after a red card was issued to Olimpia.

Hopefully, the usual suspects (Pfahler, Chapley, Weber) will provide some coverage or a summary.

Does anyone know what time FCC players will be at the zoo today? For the Learning is Cool event?

Top row (L to R): Dado Valenzuela, Kai Thomas, Quimi Ordonez, Ian Murphy, Nick Markanich, Roman Celentano. Bottom row (L to R): Harrison Robledo, Morgan Marshall (thanks for the correction), Ashton Kamden, Avionne Flanagan, Zico Bailey

Saw him at a Florence y’all’s game
