"Rocket off the foot of Pavel Bucha" "A Bucha brace and breathing room"

Spanish language highlight was better = multiple replay angles + build-up shown.

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

Ender takes on three (four?) defenders to deliver service.

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?

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!

i understand the rationale for a salary cap to keep MLS from becoming a 2-3 team super city league. but watching Miami win tonight. w suarez and Beretrame. And W depaul casemiro And Messi watching. It just seems to me. That maybe your 3 DP model has officially jumped the shark. All of those guys are DPs on 95% of the teams in this league. fine… Good for Miami. They signed a lot of great players. But please stop saying you’re a capped league w rules in place to stop this. We all see it. It’s very obvious. Just unshackle the other teams that want to spend their own money. Please stop telling me we can’t sign another mf or cb because of some fictitious rule about TAm or GAM or U-22 or DPs. its all fake if you allow the destination cities to just do what they want anyway.

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.

If this game is 4-1, by all means take it yourself and try and score. But in a 1 goal game where you look like you are definitely going to give up another goal…. You can’t play selfish like that. I’m a Denkey fan but that’s unacceptable.

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.
