FC Cincinnati (MLS)

[ArmyBengal]

There hasn’t been a topic in this forum in over a year, but I have to say that I am very excited to see the Cincinnati club playing pro soccer.

They start the season tomorrow night against Seattle. While expect many growing pains with the team, I’m still pumped for pro soccer.

I have played since I was 4 and even played on some Army teams along my time in service. Soccer bores some, but it is a passion of mine.

FC CINCINNATI !!!!

Anyone else watching ??

Anyone care ??

After getting thumped by Seattle, FC Cincinnati earns a draw against the defending champs. Nice goal bearing the end of regulation.

I've watched most of their matches so far as for some reason they get shown live most weeks over here! Quite enjoyed it, the quality's not brilliant, but its nice to see some proper tackles going in without it being a free kick/booking like it is in the Premier League these days. Glad to see them doing well, may do a trip over to watch a game later in the season.....

As a side note, my club (QPR) had Emmanuel Ledesma as a youngster, was good to see him playing a couple weeks back, always thought he was a good player :)

I watched their hope opener.  I haven't been able to get around seeing another game yet, but I am rooting for them.

Just thought I'd give this a bump since the team has come on this year and is doing well.
They are sitting in 6th place, which would qualify them for the playoffs at this point.

My son and I went down to catch their match against the first place Philadelphia squad.
FCC pulled off a 3-1 win and the place was going crazy tonight.  Such a good time to catch matches there.

The stadium is clean, organized and has tons of food and drink options.
The Bengals could really take some of their ideas and implement them in PBS.
It's just such a cool vibe down there.

FC-513 !!!

Bumping again.
FC Cincinnati is sitting tied for 5th at the moment, with the top 7 teams in the conference making the playoffs.
They have less than a handful of matches left for the season and should make it in.

This has been a really fun season and it's nice to see another pro team in this city making some noise.
It's a great time down at the stadium and will be rooting for them to do well.

FC Cincinnati played to a draw against Seattle last night and is sitting in 5th place with 2 games remaining.

After finishing their first 3 seasons in MLS in last place, they are that close to making the playoffs !!

Really excited for the team and for the city !!!

[ArmyBengal]

And FC Cincinnati finished the season strong with a win today and clinch a playoff spot !!

HELL YEAH !!

[ArmyBengal]

FC Cincinnati  at the NY Red Bulls this Saturday in their first playoff appearance in the MLS.
Too bad it's not a home game, because that would be fun to go see.

GO FC !!!

[ArmyBengal]

Holy crap, FC Cincinnati beats New York 2-1 in the opening round of the MLS Cup !!  
Let’s GOOOOOOOOO !!

[ArmyBengal]

Kinda of bummed out that FC Cincinnati lost their match last night to Philadelphia 1-0, but that was a fun season.
This was a team that since entering the MLS, has finished dead last each season.
Fast forward to this season and they finish as the 5th seed, making the playoffs for the first time and won their first playoff match.
Hoping next season sees even more success for them and the city !!!

Well, I know soccer isn't everyone's cup of tea, regardless of how much I love it.
However, if you haven't been down to a match at TQL stadium, you should really check it out.
It's a great environment with fans that are really passionate about the team.  That's just fun to be around.
Besides that, FC Cincinnati is in 2nd place in the eastern conference and currently has the 2nd best record in MLS.
They are kicking (sorry) ass this season, picking up where they left off from last year.
I love pretty much everything about it and you can pick up tickets for $20 most matches.
We end up walking around the stadium, talking with other fans, eating, drinking and watching the game.
It sure as hell beats any product the Reds have put on the field in any recent season !!!
Sorry for the dig Reds.  I still love you.  Kinda...

[ArmyBengal]

Correction...

After that ass stomping they handed out last night in a 3-0 win, FC Cincinnati is in sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference and have the best record in all of MLS.  They also set a MLS record, as no team in history has opened the season going 7-0 while playing at home.  In 12 matches, they have 8 wins, 3 draws and only a single loss.

Again, it's a great thing going on with the city and team !!

[ArmyBengal]

FC Cincinnati still sitting in first place after their win over 3rd place Nashville last night. Such a good time to head down to TQL stadium for a match !! Matches have been sold out and the fans are great !!

Forgot to mention they are 11-0-1 when playing at home this season !!

[AMPHAR]

The FC Cincinnati Lions with swords are back at the top of the table.  (1st place).   Very exciting rest of the summer/fall coming up.   Along with a great Euro Cup on TV, it has been a good summer of soccer. 

 

[ArmyBengal]

Love FC Cincinnati.

That Miami beat down was amazing !!

[AMPHAR]

Certainly going to grab a couple tickets in August/September.   Its a great stadium with no bad seats and they are playing great futbol.   

[ArmyBengal]

Going to an FC game is a joy.

The stadium is amazing and the crowds have always been exceptionally pleasant. We always have a great time and of course the team playing so well never hurts.
