Matt Miazga Leaves Behind a Complicated FC Cincinnati Legacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every now and then during a long Major League Soccer season, stories that come across my news feed that make me drop everything and scramble to see if the report is true. Matt Miazga being released by FC Cincinnati with two months left in the season checked that box. Reported on Friday by independent journalist Laurel Pfhaler, the news has yet to be confirmed by the club. Miazga penned his own farewell on Instagram—a worthy read for the comments from teammates past and present—and underwent an e
FC Cincinnati Passes on Major Defensive Upgrades (opens the original)

Major League Soccer’s Secondary Transfer Window slammed shut at midnight Wednesday. And FC Cincinnati’s window to seriously contend for MLS Cup this season might have closed along with it. Let’s get to the two transactions first. The headline move is winger David Douděra, a longtime veteran of the Czech First League who suited up for the Czech national team in the recent World Cup.

In Praise of Pavel Bucha, FC Cincinnatiâs Versatile Iron Man (opens the original)

FC Cincinnati’s 1-1 draw in the sweltering Central Florida humidity on Saturday night was a step in the right direction after a frustrating Leagues Cup exit last week. With 15 MLS regular-season matches remaining, the Orange and Blue sit sixth in the Eastern Conference standings (the top nine make the playoffs). With just over two months remaining in league play—the regular season stretches into November this year because of the World Cup break—the matches will continue to arrive in rapid succes
Five Ways FC Cincinnatiâs Leagues Cup Loss Was So Disappointing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If youâre going to be exciting as hell, you wonât be able to close out every match. Devoid of its traditional defensive discipline and ability to routinely see out 1-0 wins in 2026, FC Cincinnatiâs frailties resurfaced in the second half of Tuesday nightâs 2-1 Leagues Cup group stage loss to Liga MX side Atlas. A half-full TQL Stadium was left soaked by the rain and stunned by two goals in the matchâs final quarter. Thanks to a pair of two-goal victories over Pachuca and Pumas, Cincinn
