Match5 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for St. Louis CITY SC

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Damion Downs

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Nobody could get near Jeong Sang-Bin

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Daniel Edelman falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at St. Louis CITY SC

Célio Pompeu 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.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Sergio Córdova

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sergio Córdova, and the manager let it.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Damion Downs

7.57, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. St. Louis CITY SC had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Market7 Sep 2026

No place for Célio Pompeu in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Célio Pompeu has his answer from St. Louis CITY SC; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Rafael Santos

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Market10 Aug 2026

St. Louis CITY SC turn down Hajduk Split for Timo Baumgartl

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Up for the corner, and Daniel Edelman delivers — 7.55

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Daniel Edelman scored, was marked 7.55, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Deadline passes with 9 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at St. Louis CITY SC until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $650.0K for Justen Glad

St. Louis CITY SC have gone to Real Salt Lake with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

St. Louis CITY SC bid $630.0K for Philip Quinton

The offer went to Real Salt Lake this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

St. Louis CITY SC go back to the board over Philip Quinton

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $650.0K — a club that wants Philip Quinton enough to be asked twice.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Marcel Hartel stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcel Hartel and St. Louis CITY SC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at St. Louis CITY SC

Marcel Hartel and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market10 Aug 2026

Eyes on Chris Durkin again

The phone has started ringing about Chris Durkin again, and this time the name on the line is Chicago Fire. St. Louis CITY SC are listening politely and promising nothing.
