Part two of the 2026 MLS season starts today for FC Cincinnati. Here's how the first half-ish stacked up with the other seasons during Pat Noonan's managerial tenure:
Pat Noonan managed FC Cincinnati teams have conceded more than 2.0 xG in 27 games during his tenure. 17 of them happened in 2025 (10) and 2026 (7). 7 of the top 10 highest xGA matches have been during 2025 and 2026, including the 6 highest. FCC has played 15 games in 2026.
great work from Google here to show the red given to Utah's assistant coach after VAR review
DCU ownership making this pitch is wild. "Our tenants draw better than us, we need public money to expand our stadium."
no stream, but I’m here and ready to report back on anything interesting from FC Cincinnati’s preseason game against Burnley
Just checking high defensive actions on @futi.live because I can live and this seems like a lot!
really need to give a source anonymity to get this quote? Could’ve named some better guys, too. www.politico.eu/newsletter/f...
Styles make fights and the three best teams in NWSL are approaching the game in very similar ways so far this year. It's certainly easier said than done, but dominating the ball and then, if you lose it, winning it back quickly seems like a good plan.
Less than half the season caveats apply, but seven of the ten worst team defenses by xGD per game in the @americansocceranalysis.com database are from this season!
At the World Cup break, FC Cincinnati is just pretty okay (or slightly worse). The team has said it's a big summer window, but should the front office really be chasing moves that fit into the same game model than has produced these results?
I can feel it - tonight's the night that my Kenji Mboma Dem wing back agenda catches fire
Does this scout think the characters in Avatar are called Avatars? www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...
after reading the full article, Jessica Berman might be the GOAT consultant-style speaker
just realized Emma Sears' absurd carry preceding her goal doesn't qualify as a progressive carry because it started to close to her own goal
