    Matt Miazga Leaves Behind a Complicated FC Cincinnati Legacy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    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. The 28-year-old’s arrival should push Pavel Bucha, FCC’s versatile iron man and Douděra’s former teammate at Slavia

    In Praise of Pavel Bucha, FC Cincinnati’s Versatile Iron Man (opens the original)

    Since arriving from FC Viktoria Plzeň of the Czech First League in February 2024, Pavel Bucha has logged more minutes than any other FC Cincinnati player. So when the 28-year-old midfielder was not listed in the starting XI for Saturday night’s eventual 1-1 draw with Seattle, the omission was glaring. From the start of the 2023-24 European season in August 2023 with Viktoria Plzeň through the end of the 2024 MLS season, Bucha made 73 appearances and spent 4,941 minutes on the pitch. He added

    Can FC Cincinnati Keep Kevin Denkey for Its Playoff Push? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    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 Cincinnati’s Leagues Cup Loss Was So Disappointing (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you’re going to be exciting as hell, you won’t 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 Cincinnati’s frailties resurfaced in the second half of Tuesday night’s 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 match’s final quarter. Thanks to a pair of two-goal victories over Pachuca and Pumas, Cincinn
