Match12 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for FC Cincinnati

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Evander in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Cincinnati this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match12 Sep 2026

FC Cincinnati come up short against New England Revolution

New England Revolution left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at FC Cincinnati training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ethan Finlay is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Ender Echenique runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Roman Celentano dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match5 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for FC Cincinnati

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at FC Cincinnati

Evander was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match5 Sep 2026

CF Montreal take the points off FC Cincinnati

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Wages eat 170% of everything FC Cincinnati earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

FC Cincinnati supporters have found a favourite in Ender Echenique

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Ender Echenique has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

One of those days for Pavel Bucha

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.73, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Ethan Finlay

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Evander is still paying for one afternoon at FC Cincinnati

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
