FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: We are officially calling on
@MLS
to appoint a special counsel to review all cards issued to
@fccincinnati
defender Matt Miazga determine if there is bias from
@PROreferees
against him.
We also demand he be allowed to play during this review.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Alvaro Barreal is him.
- Insanely high-level work from Miazga, Murphy and Yerson. Made NY look non-threatening.
- There should have been more MVP chatter for Obi.
- One game at a time. Let’s wrap it up in New York.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Yerson Mosquera: FCC Legend.
-
#DOOP
can hate the call, but suggesting MLS rigged things so small-market Cincinnati could advance is absurd.
- Yuya Kubo did work last night.
- The most must-win game in history up next.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- This team is built different.
- If you wanted to believe
@MLS
ordered this go 3 games, there was ample evidence last night.
- Boup picked the best time ever to show why he’s a DP.
- Enjoy the 3 weeks off (this format sucks)!
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- This game was clearly personal to the team and coaching staff.
- How much money did MLS lose last night because of Messi being eliminated?
- A twenty win season seemed unfathomable 2 years ago.
- Finish strong.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Outscored, not really out-played — last night was there for the taking.
- Given their offensive form, it seemed unfathomable FCC would get shut out.
- Losing sucks, but it still an incredible season overall.
- On to 2023!
#AllForCincy
We have agreed to terms on the transfer of Brandon Vazquez to CF Monterrey of Liga MX for a multi-million-dollar fee. Brandon departs the club after four years of service.
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Yerson Mosquera is so good at every aspect of soccer.
- While you were reading that, the ref just issued 3 more yellows.
- Leadership: Knowing your teammate needs a mental boost & offering him your PK.
- All gas. No brakes.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- That one really, really hurt.
- So many missed chances to go up 3-1 and seal the victory.
- If you showed up in a Messi jersey just to cheer for Messi, know that you are a profoundly weird person.
- Shield or bust now.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Vazquez & Brenner: best tag team since the Midnight Express.
- Hard to imagine a better environment for Medunjanin’s last time at TQL & Miazga’s first.
- Nwobodo with another quietly dominant effort.
- Winning is awesome.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Boup, there it is!
- The match official clearly believed all 25,513 people were there to see him last night.
- Santiago Arias quietly becoming the best signing of the winter.
- 8pts clear — let’s go win the Leagues Cup.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Was that the most impressive home win in FCC history?
- When Brenner is hot, he’s “surface of the sun” hot.
- Death. Taxes. Roman Celentano making massive saves.
- From -37 GD to +5 in 1 year; Pat Noonan is a helluva coach.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Last night was Lucho’s “Heisman Moment.”
- Clean game from the back line: no goals and, importantly, no cards.
- Boupendza v. Acosta truthers forced to stand down for a while after that goal.
- Four to go — let’s win it.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Anyone else wake up with the best hangover ever?
- Fortunately for Roman, no one is gonna remember much about this actual game.
- Brandon Vazquez getting hot right now would be huge.
- Shield claimed. Let’s get the Cup.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Brandon Vazquez scoring — you absolutely, positively love to see it
- Is FCC a defensive juggernaut now? Many people are asking
- Not in the stat sheet, but Brenner looked lethal.
- It’s *still* not a rivalry.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Pat Noonan is a hell of a coach.
- It isn’t producing a ton of goals yet, but this team looks lethal on the counter.
- Roman & Ian are must-starts going forward.
- Nothing about this feels like a fluke, and that rules.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- This “Decision Day” was drama-free for all the right reasons.
- Brenner, Vazquez & Acosta all scoring felt like a cherry on top for the year.
- Pat Noonan & Chris Albright deserve lifetime contracts.
- MLS Cup: Why not us?
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Things you don’t mess with: Texas, Jim, Ray Gaddis.
- A healthy Santiago Arias is a problem for the rest of the league.
- Big “level-up” game for Marco Angulo.
- Get the “MVP” chants (and new contract) going for Lucho ASAP.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Well, that was absolutely awesome.
- Lucho Acosta is the best player in
@MLS
, and it’s time for the national media to recognize.
- 2022 FCC drops points in that game. Growth.
- Make TQL Stadium like that every week.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Roman Celentano leveled up his distribution.
- There will be better days for the FCC midfield.
- Although, winning games while not playing your best is a great sign.
- Damn, it felt good to be back at
@TQLStadium
.
#AllForCincy
SO THE
@MLS
MAXIMUM SALARY IS $612,500, BUT IF YOU USE GENERAL ALLOCATION MONEY OR TARGETED ALLOCATION MONEY, YOU CAN PAY UP TO $1,612,500. YOU ALSO HAVE 3 DESIGNATED PLAYERS WHO ONLY COUNT AGAINST THE CAP AT THE MAX SALARY CHARGE BUT ARE OTHERWISE UNLIMITED. NOW, U22 PLAYERS…
It remains an incredible joke that Pat Noonan can take a job everyone claimed would be a long-term rebuild, succeed beyond anyone’s wildest imagination, go from last place to first place in two seasons, and not win coach of the year along the way.
#AllForCincy
Down two players.
Historically awful defense.
@fccincinnati
takes a point and denies
@dcunited
homefield advantage in the playoffs via sheer assholery.
Proud doesn’t even begin to describe our feelings right now.
#FCCincy
Win or lose, we want it started for the record that playing soccer on a baseball field is some USL bullshit and shouldn’t be tolerated from an ownership group as wealthy as City Football Group.
#AllForCincy
Pat Noonan on the significance of capturing the Supporters’ Shield:
“I think that has now surpassed the MLS Cup in terms of relevancy. That’s not to take away the desire for our team to hold an MLS Cup trophy.”

@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Ownership needs to be PUBLICLY calling out the league for this openly slanted officiating.
- Overshadowed again — great games from Vazquez, Kubo, Miazga & Cameron.
- Stay classy, Caleb.
- The playoff window is still open.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Somewhere PRO is still adding stoppage time to this match.
- Vazquez delivers in the biggest moment of the biggest match (yet…) in FC history.
- Outstanding effort from the backline.
- Next up: Noonan takes on his mentor.
#AllForCincy

@TaylorTwellman
just basically called
@fccincinnati
the guy who finally gets the girl naked but has no idea what to do when it happens.
He’s possibly not incorrect here.
#FCCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- That sucked.
- As a rivalry, “Hell is Real” is kinda dead unless FCC decides to actually win some of these big games.
- Matt Miazga would’ve been a difference maker.
- Onward to 2024. Major changes loom for this team.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Lucho Acosta: MVP. Engrave the trophy now.
- A rotated squad held Chicago to 0 shots on goal. Disciplined defense.
- Apparently you need to stab Mosquera to get a red card?
- No let up on Tuesday — there’s a cup to go win.
#AllForCincy
Fanendo Adi could have demanded to be loaned out for the remainder of the year.
Instead, he’s coming to help us curb stomp this league on our way out the door.
Instant legend status.
#FCCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Best road performance since…?
- Brenner is absolutely on fire.
- It’s crazy how little national attention Roman Celentano gets for what he’s doing.
- Playing your best when the lights get bright is a sign of good coaching.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Alvaro Barreal decided to be HIM in 2023.
- Powell in the lineup immediately balanced the attack on the right.
- Guido Gonzalez — biggest Cincinnati sports villain since Bill Hall?
- Sign Pat & Chris to lifetime contracts.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning-ish After:
- This team is never out of games.
- Credit to Kinnear & staff for pushing for three instead of settling for a point.
- Arias continues to make impact plays when he’s on.
- The reinforcement are here. Let’s go win it all.
#AllForCincy
*RECORD SCRATCH*
*FREEZE FRAME*
“Yup, that’s me: former
@fccincinnati
GK Mitch Hildebrandt. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation...”
.
@fccincinnati
the morning after:
- Nick Hagglund is the feel-good story of 2022 and now a must-start.
- Miazga, Haggs, and Cameron with another outstanding effort.
- Lucho should be getting more MVP buzz.
- The playoff race is officially on.
#AllForCincy
The
@ColumbusCrew
players should refuse to take the field in solidarity with the
@MLSPA
&
@fccincinnati
over Matt Miazga’s egregious treatment at the hands of league management.
Doing anything less would be no better than scabbing.
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- It feels like
@PROreferees
is gunning for FCC and has an agenda right now.
- Vazquez remains incredible. Extension ASAP.
- Top-tier defensive effort by the backline & midfield down a man.
- Need to get 3 points soon.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- That was the soccer equivalent of snorting lines of dried Robitussin.
- Full “burn the footage” game for Nick Hagglund. CB depth remains a concern
- It’s never too late for Lucho Acosta.
- Might as well win this trophy too.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- FCC with Lucho >> FCC without Lucho
- Sergio Santos has turned out to be a hell of a pickup by Albright.
- Is any player fouled harder without drawing a red than Nwobodo?
- TQL has officially achieved “fortress” status.
#AllForCincy
People complaining that Jeff Berding took care of a few random fans who showed up to the march without a ticket or that some former
@fccincinnati
players were invited to the owners box really need to sit a few plays out.
#FCCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- That was the most complete performance by an FCC team in years.
- If Lucho is team MVP, Hagglund’s now a close 2nd.
- Brenner goal — builds the confidence & the selling value.
- The best still feels yet to come.
#AllForCincy
.
@MLS
FACT OF THE DAY:
@stlCITYsc
&
@fccincinnati
won the exact same number of postseason games in their inaugural seasons (despite STL having over twice as much time to prepare).
Please credit Queen City War Pigs if used.
.
@fccincinnati
— the Morning After:
- Turns out it’s never too late for Lucho Acosta to change a match & you shouldn’t doubt him ever.
- Can Ted Lasso’s sports psychologist see Vazquez?
- Hagglund is a load-bearing part of the structure.
- Take the road point.
#AllForCincy
The unquestioned positives of this tournament:
1.
@fccincinnati
can defend. Full stop. And they look incredibly tough to break down.
2. Frankie Amaya has finally found a role on the pitch.
3. Loca is a difference maker and will score those when he's fully fit.
#FCCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- There’s good, and then there’s “taking it to arguably the best team on the continent” good.
- Think Chivas is regretting not bidding a little more for Brandon Vazquez?
- Is Angulo a starter now?
-
* TWEET ABANDONED DUE TO WEATHER*
If you’re a
@Reds
fan disappointed that you won’t be able to enjoy nice evenings downtown watching a team lose games while being destined for a last-place finish…
…can we interest you in venturing slightly north to
@TQLStadium
this summer?
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- Biggest win in FC history?
- Outstanding team effort defensively, even absent Obi.
- Boupendza & Hagglund both needed those goals for completely different reasons.
- Other games broke favorably — sprint to the finish now.
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Beautiful results > Beautiful football
- A clean sheet with Obi out is an impressive accomplishment.
- Eventually this team is going to need to score more goals.
- It’s *so* much more fun on this end of the table.
#AllForCincy
Weather looks great.
@fccincinnati
’s coming off a massive win.
It’s Matt Miazga’s first match at TQL.
If there was ever a night to get loud & go full-send at an FC match, tonight is it.
It isn’t just the Bailey. From the corners to the clubs — let’s bring it!
#AllForCincy
.
@fccincinnati
— the morning after:
- Can we just play Toronto every game?
- Noonan’s gonna have a really hard time dropping Celentano & Murphy from the 11.
- Things you love to see: Calvin Harris giving quality minutes and scoring goals.
- It’s fun again.
#AllForCincy
ATTENTION ALL
@FCCINCINNATI
FANS —
YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT THIS SCUMBAG FROM ST. LOUIS WIN.
THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION.
VOTE. RT. TAG ALL OF YOUR FCC FRIENDS ON THE POST AND TELL THEM TO VOTE.
DO IT NOW. DO IT FOR OUR CAPTAIN.
#ALLFORCINCY
.
@fccincinnati
— The Morning After:
- That felt like watching two different games in two halves.
- Boupendza played like a game changing DP last night.
- Can we go a match or two without losing a key player to suspension please?
- Need to get 3 on Wednesday.
