Postgame Recap: Match Day 2

Match 2 is in the books and FC Cincinnati wins! Okay, okay, in truth, the Orange and Blue drew 1-1 with Atlanta United on Sunday night, but if you were passing by Molly Malone's in Covington when the score went final, it would have been hard to tell the difference.

Quiet Optimism

Wanna see someone make a fool of themselves? FC Cincinnati is going to get at least a point this Sunday. Boom. That’s right, bold prediction time; timidly calling for at least a draw; claiming two of the three possible outcomes like it takes some courage.

Postgame Recap: Match Day 1

It's happening! It's happening! FC Cincinnati made its Major League Soccer debut last night in Seattle. The outcome was a disappointing and lopsided—if not completely unexpected—loss 4-1 to the Seattle Sounders, the 2018 Western Conference runners-up, who are entering this season healthier and more lethal than ever.

Why the Pride: Scott Wilson

When I attended my first FC Cincinnati game in June of 2018, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was not a soccer fan growing up, but I have always been incredibly proud of all things Cincinnati - from our sports teams to our chili. I had moved to Dayton, OH* for school and was only somewhat aware of the phenomenon that was FCC. When I was offered cheap tickets over father’s day weekend 2018, I wanted to see what all the buzz was about.

Graduation

When FCC first started, I didn’t know a ton about soccer. I was just learning about the beautiful game as FCC started my sophomore year at UC.
