After a week off, the Orange County SC lads hopefully got plenty of rest and the 9-man injury list is hopefully much shorter. We've got Monterey Bay-away coming up Saturday and Noah from MBFC Discussion is joining us to talk about the rollercoaster of a season they're having

Bonus topic: we will talk about what has everyone concerned for the last 14 games of the season (but only 5 away games!). It's gonna be a busy summer at The Champ.

We got a little behind this week, but here's Nathan's take on last week's match against Colorado Springs Switchbacks.

Orange County SC fielded the youngest lineup in club history, featuring five academy players making their professional debuts, during a 0-3 USL Cup loss to Colorado Springs. Despite the defeat, the match provided critical rest for OCSC's injury-depleted senior squad and valuable development for its youth prospects as the club shifts its focus back to the regular season.

Tuesday we talked about what we're excited about at Orange County SC for the 2nd half of the USL Championship season. Here's what Dylan's excited about:

After 77 days away from The Champ, Orange County SC returns home for Round 4 of the Prinx Tires USL Cup. What is a Prinx, anyway? Despite the result, there were some bright spots in the performance. We'll also talk about another head-scratching result in Hartford from last Wednesday.

Bonus topic: we will talk about what we're excited about, and what concerns us, for the 2nd half of the USL Championship 2026 campaign.

Yes, a 3-0 defeat, but first goal was from a deflection and the 2nd at 81'. Took 80 minutes to score on some kids.

Fuck the USL Cup. Stupid tournament, stupid format.

Exhausted from a 77-day road trip and missing nine senior players to injury, Orange County SC will wrap up their already-eliminated USL League Cup group stage against the group-winning Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. Because the match has no tournament implications, Orange County is expected to field multiple academy players to give their roster a chance to recover ahead of a scheduled bye week and the rest of their first-place regular season campaign.

Severely depleted by injuries and fatigue, Orange County SC relied on its academy youth and standout goalkeeping to secure a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Hartford Athletic after surrendering a 2-0 first-half lead. This resilient result extended the club's record-breaking scoring streak to 11 consecutive matches, earning the exhausted squad a crucial point ahead of a much-needed USL Cup and bye-week rest period.

I was able to get tickets for the game July 11th something came up and I’ll no longer be able to go I would love for someone to take the opportunity to go support our team i have two tickets!

Taking my father in law to the game Saturday. Thinking about the captain seats but can’t find a ton of information on them. Does this include any club access? What’s that like? It appears food and drink is included? Alcohol?

Thank you in advance and looking forward to the match!

Orange County SC overcame a second-half deficit against Rhode Island to secure a crucial 1-1 draw and maintain their lead in the Western Conference, despite a severe injury crisis that forced them to use only 12 players. Ousmane Sylla scored the equalizing goal in the 67th minute, preserving the team's unbeaten streak as they prepare to conclude their summer road trip.

It's been a busy two months for Orange County SC as they've fought through 6 away games out of 7 games, with 2 more away games to come until an extended home stand. Yes, we've got Round 4 of The Nobody Cares Cup Saturday against Colorado Springs Switchbacks. But we've also got the rainy Rhode Island draw to talk about, and Wednesday's match against a tepid but stingy Hartford Athletic.

We'll also talk about some individual players who've impressed our co-hosts through the season so far, so crack a beverage, grab a seat, and join us at 8pm Pacific for the first and only show dedicated to OCSC, now in our 8th year.

We can do it everyone! I know y’all are sitting down to brunch in from of the TV after a brutal stretch, but we just have to get through the round of 16 plus the OCSC v. RI game tonight and then we get Wednesday off of being stuck to the couch/barstool.

Oh, wait, OCSC HAS A GAME ON WEDNESDAY, TOO? AND WC ROUND OF 8 STARTS THURSDAY?!?

See y’all at The Champ next week and THEN we can celebrate our No Match Day on Sunday the 12th!!

Orange County SC will look to extend their Western Conference lead during a special July 4th road match as they travel to face Rhode Island FC for the first time in club history. Although both teams share nearly identical goal and defensive statistics, Rhode Island currently sits outside the playoff bubble but remains a dangerous threat led by in-form striker JJ Williams.

Heading to Connecticut this week. Trying to meet the team and take some photos for memories if possible. I’m one of the many owners as well.

Does USMNT sign autographs after their practices at Great Park? Did anyone get the chance? I know they had an open practice earlier in June but didn't have the chance to come.

Going to a game next week, who is our most high end prospect who we could end up transferring to a higher level one day ?

Orange County SC climbed to the top of the Western Conference after securing a gritty 3-2 road victory against the Las Vegas Lights. Despite a chaotic match marked by defensive lapses, timely attacking goals and late-game heroics by goalkeeper Alex Rando sealed the crucial three points to kick off their summer road trip.

Result: 3-2 win at Las Vegas

With the top spot in the West within reach, Orange County SC faces a massive road test in Las Vegas tonight. Can the defense bounce back for a crucial win? Check out our full preview and predicted XI

Orange County SC played to a 1-1 draw against New Mexico United after bouncing back from an early second-minute deficit with a first-half goal by Benalcazar. While the result maintains Orange County's second-place position in the Western Conference, the author emphasizes that the team must start turning draws against lower-table opponents into wins to be a true postseason threat.

Orange County SC earned a point on the road at New Mexico United this past weekend and so far have earned 9 points on the road, compared to 10 points in the entire 2025 season. Is Orange County better this year? Did we just have too high expectations for 2026? The lads are mostly playing well and injuries are problematic again, but how many points can OC earn through the next four weeks before returning to the Champ?

Let's talk about it- Maybe we can get some insight from our special guest this week, OCSC goal-scoring midfielder Nico Benalcazar.

We'll also be joined by friend-of-the-show Kyle from Grassroots POV to talk about his experience at the Los Angeles World Cup for USA vs Paraguay.

A pesar de comenzar perdiendo al minuto 2 en una cancha complicada por la altura, Orange County SC mantuvo la calma y logró empatar el encuentro rápidamente gracias a un gol de Nico Benalcázar. Al final, el partido terminó en un valioso empate como visitante que deja sensaciones muy positivas por la capacidad de reacción del equipo y lo mantiene firme como protagonista en la Conferencia Oeste.
