Fire Contained: FC Cincinnati battles to three-all draw FC Cincinnati welcomed Chicago Fire into TQL Stadium on Saturday night for a match that was hoped to be a stepping stone from their 1-1 draw at Toronto last weekend. While the majority of the match saw The Orange and Blue trailing, a late second half comeback saw the points split at the end of the night. FIRST HALF The opening ten minutes of the match saw Chicago control the big chances, as both Maren Haile-Selassie and Hugo Cuypers had good looks.

FC Cincinnati looks to put out the Fire After two straight away matches, FC Cincinnati comes back to TQL Stadium for a meeting with the Chicago Fire, a team they have history with. THE FIRE In their second season under Greg Berhalter, the Fire looked to build off of a set style of play and a vibrant squad. They bolstered a midfield that was considerably weak with two acquisitions: Anton Saletros, who had Allsvenskan and Conference League experience with AIK, and Robin Lod, one of the most productive midfielders in the league who spent years in Minnesota.

World Cup XV: USA – A relentless sun, a Brazilian record For the first time in the tournament’s history, the hosting rights went to a country that did not have a long and rich tradition as previous host nations. That is not to say that US soccer fans were unfamiliar with the sport. The nation had participated in World Cups starting with the 1930 edition, but their success had been mixed both in tournament play as well as in qualifying.

Turning Point Toronto? There is no way to soften this, FC Cincinnati has been abysmal so far in this 2026 MLS season. The first signs of real cracks appeared when FCC hosted Toronto FC to a one-nil loss a month ago. With only two wins and four losses through the first six matches, things need to change and change quickly. FCC will have an opportunity to do that on the road at TFC.

For FC Cincinnati, things need to change and change quickly. A road match against Toronto FC can be that opportunity.

S11 E10 Jersey Swap - Toronto FC - John Molinaro from TFC Republic - Cincinnati Soccer Talk FC Cincinnati have started the season with a frustrating road slate, losing their first three away matches of the 2026 season. It doesn’t help that they encounter a team they couldn’t solve at home, b...

World Cup XIV: Italy – A Repeat Final and a Third Three-Peat Champion Italy would be only the second nation to host the World Cup a second time after Mexico, who held it in 1970 and 1986, but it would not be without the usual controversies now common in FIFA organized events. Italy, the Soviet Union, Austria, England, France, Greece, West Germany and Yugoslavia submitted applications before the July 31st, 1983, deadline. One month later, Austria, France, West Germany, and Yugoslavia had withdrawn their bids, leaving Italy, the Soviet Union, Greece, and England to compete for hosting rights.

Recap: FC Cincinnati falls to New York Red Bulls 4-2 It was another frustrating night for FC Cincinnati fans as the Orange and Blue fell to the New York Red Bulls 4-2. For FCC, it was a game defined by missed chances and questionable calls. The Red Bulls put in a good performance with Ronald Donkor and Cade Cowell arguably making the biggest impact. First Half With Roman Celentano still nursing a leg injury, Evan Louro was in goal.

World Cup XIII: Mexico – A hand of God goal and the genius of Maradona propel Argentina to the summit In June of 1974, Colombia was chosen as the host for the 1986 World Cup, the thirteenth edition. The commitment was for the 16-team tournament that had been in place since 1954. But then, four years later, FIFA announced that the event would be increased to 24 teams. In 1982, Columbia's new President said they could not afford to host a competition of this size and withdrew from hosting the tournament.

World Cup XII: Spain – Brazil dazzles again but Italian catenaccio wins the day A country that was passionate about soccer, that had produced great players, and who at the club level had already won European and Intercontinental trophies had been chosen to hold the 1982 XII edition of the FIFA World Cup. Spain would organize and host what would now be an expanded World Cup with 24 teams, instead of the 16 that had been competing since 1954.

Battle Royale: FC Cincinnati edges CF Montreal in bizarre 4-3 win Here is an instant French lesson for everyone. "J'hallucine!" is the French equivalent of "I'm hallucinating!" or "I can't believe this!" Both FC Cincinnati and CF Montreal fans may be using the same expression after 90 minutes of incredulity. After going down three times and losing a man due to a red card, FC Cincinnati (2-0-3, 6 pts.) turned a deficit into an improbable 4-3 victory over CF Montreal (1-0-4, 3 pts.) Prince Owusu's brace gave the visitors a lead, but late goals by Tom Barlow and Kevin Denkey sent the TQL Stadium public home in disbelieving joy.

Any good will from the lone win in that period, Tigres at home, was decimated by a 5-1 second leg choke.

FC Cincinnati crushed by New England Regardless of the notion that FC Cincinnati was heavily rotating to stay fresh for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the team came away from Gillette Stadium with another poor league performance. It brings to mind the 2022 campaign of the Seattle Sounders, who won the Champions Cup (then Champions League) but finished the season 12-17-5 and 11th in their conference.  Has Albright assembled a team that is being asked to come together too quickly and do too much?
