January 31, 20179 yr Author Tampa Bay Rowdies and Ottawa FC enter the league as the first of what some believe will be many defectors from the North American Soccer League.
February 1, 20179 yr Saw where FC Cincinnati submitted their MLS expansion application yesterday. Gonna be hard to turn down a team/city that has the attendance they do, plus the backing and funding necessary for a stadium.
February 1, 20179 yr Author Saw where FC Cincinnati submitted their MLS expansion application yesterday. Gonna be hard to turn down a team/city that has the attendance they do, plus the backing and funding necessary for a stadium. I don't follow MLS so I don't really know what they're looking for apart from loads of expansion fees and taxpayer-aided stadiums to help finance the pyramid scheme, but I agree that FCC has put themselves in a good place for selection. I wouldn't be shocked if they hold FCC out of the first couple of expansion franchises (two cities to be announced later this year, two more the next) but they found themselves as one of the last two this round.
February 1, 20179 yr Author I feel for the fans of Sacramento Republic FC if this is true, but it will turn into quite a mess. Sacramento Republic FC MLS bid derailed by last-second ownership shift
February 9, 20179 yr Author FC Cincinnati and Louisville City FC officially completed their unofficial player swap today, with forward Luke Spencer moving to Louisville. This follows the previous moves of Aodhan Quinn and Kadeem Dacres from Lou City up the river to FCC. I think Louisville only has one more roster spot they're planning to fill and it's supposed to happen next week. Likely a third keeper. I'm ready to get this season started.
February 18, 20179 yr So FC Cincinnati just got rid of the best known coach in the USL and one who the players obviously played hard for??? Somewhere Eric Wynalda smirks.
March 6, 20179 yr Author Preseason officially got started this season. Louisville City played a closed-door game against Young Harris College of Georgia. LCFC has three YHC alumni on the roster. Match ended 3-1 in favor of City. I saw this morning that FC Cincinnati played one against Sacramento Republic FC and drew 2-2.

March 10, 20179 yr Freelancing for The Courier-Journal, I covered Louisville City's 1-0 friendly loss last night to NCAA Division-I Lipscomb in front of 1,000 fans at the Elizabethtown Sports Park: LouCity falls in preseason friendly with Lipscomb

A huge problem for this team last season was getting chances and not having guys that could finish. I'm hoping this is a little hiccup and that we'll be able to score some goals this season.
March 22, 20179 yr Author It's finally here!! Week one!! Louisville hosts St. Louis at 2 pm Saturday. Cincinnati travels to Charleston. I'm ready. It's officially soccer season now.
