Four years ago today, it was announced that Cincinnati was getting it’s very own USL professional soccer team, and that team would be called FC Cincinnati…
And then we got to meet US soccer legend, John Harkes…
Happy birthday, FC Cincinnati! 😀⚽️🎂❤️

FC Cincinnati versus Vancouver Whitecaps.
Tonight, FC Cincinnati (last place in Eastern Conference) played host to Vancouver Whitecaps (second to last place in the Western Conference) at Nippert Stadium…
FC Cincinnati is getting pretty difficult to watch…
They are just really bad. And tonight, second to last place beat last place 2-1. 🙁⚽️❤️

FC Cincinnati versus Wayne Rooney.
This evening FC Cincinnati played host to Wayne Rooney and DC United. It was the other match that we were kinda excited about this season because of who was going to be on the pitch tonight at Nippert Stadium. They were handing out terrific
little FC Cincinnati away jersey rally towels before today’s match…
And that’s pretty cool because I really have a thing for rally towels. I love them…
The match was being televised on ESPN as the Match of the Week or something and that meant there were cameras everywhere…
It was a white-out at Nippert Stadium for today’s match…
All of a sudden it made sense why they were giving out white away jersey rally towels. And there he is…
The man. The Myth. The Legend…
Wayne Rooney…
I was also rather surprised at how many people brought their Wayne Rooney jerseys to the match in hopes that Wayne would sign them…
He didn’t sign one of them. In fact, he didn’t even look it their direction…
At halftime, FC|C honored Cincinnati native and World Cup champion, Rose Lavelle…
So that was pretty neat to see Rose Lavelle…
And that was that. DC United won 4-1 and Wayne Rooney one-upped Zlatan and scored at Nippert Stadium. After the match was mercifully over, we stopped at Penn Station for sammiches while we waited for the Uber prices to stop surging…
Unlike FC|C, Penn Station is sooo good. 😀⚽️❤️

Timehopping.
One year ago today, I had my second hip replacement surgery…
Two years ago, USL FC Cincinnati defeated MLS Chicago Fire in the US Open Cup…
And three years ago, we moved into our house in Northside…
That’s a pretty historically busy day! Thanks, Timehop!😀🦕❤️

FC Cincinnati versus the Zlatan.
This evening FC Cincinnati played host to Zlatan Ibrahimovich and LA Galaxy. It was one of the few matches we were really excited about this season because of who was going to be on the pitch tonight at Nippert Stadium…
They were giving away free samples of Heineken 0.0 beer…
It might have been pretty good if it wasn’t warm.
And there he is, Zlatan Ibrahimovich…
Zlatan has is a prolific goalscorer who is best known for his technique, his creativity, strength, ability in the air, and his powerful and accurate striking ability. His career reads like a who’s who of the European giants. He played Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris St. Germain and Manchester United all before moving to MLS to join LA Galaxy.
Apparently, we weren’t the only ones there to see Zlatan…
Galaxy beat FC|C 2-0. But Zlatan didn’t score any goals. 😀⚽️❤️

FC Cincinnati versus Red Bulls.
The last time we saw the MLS version of Red Bulls, they were abruptly ending the magical US Open Cup run of our FC|C in the semi-finals back in 2017. We were hoping that the new look, big-time MLS version of FC Cincinnati could exact a little revenge in their very first MLS league encounter at Nippert Stadium with the team from Harrison, New Jersey. FC|C played away to Red Bulls back in at the end of April and lost 1-0. And with the way this season of Cincinnati soccer is shaping up, we really weren’t holding our breath…
And at the half, it was still 0-0…
It was a really beautiful night for a soccer match…
And Red Bulls ended up pulling off a 2-0 win with goals in the 78th and 90th+1 minutes. 😀❤️⚽️

FC Cincinnati versus Real Salt Lake.
Tonight, our FC Cincinnati was playing host to Real Salt Lake…
It was another cold and rainy evening for FC Cincinnati soccer this time the match was on a Friday night. At least, it wasn’t another Sunday game.
We saw FC|C’s mascot, Gary…
And we headed around to the other side of Nippert Stadium to find our friend, Kathy…
Turns out Kathy had some pretty amazing seats…
There’s Kathy…
The match ended 3-0 to Real Salt Lake. I still don’t understand why almost everyone in Cincinnati was so hyped about joining MLS. I loved the USL version of FC Cincinnati so much. The MLS FC|C has now been outscored 8-1 in their four matches. 😀⚽️❤️

FC|C Adidas x Parley.
I love the color navy. It’s one of my favorite colors if not my most favorite. I also love navy stuff. I’d say about a quarter of my wardrobe is made up of navy stuff or has at least has some navy on it. So imagine my delight when I got this email from FC Cincy touting these limited edition Adidas X Parley navy Earth Day jerseys…
As soon as saw the email, I saved what I was working on, grabbed my wallet and headed down the FC Cincinnati Team Store on Fourth Street…
And now I have a brand new navy FC|C Adidas x Parley jersey! 😀⚽️🤗❤️

FC Cincinnati versus Sporting Kansas City.
FC Cincinnati was playing host to Sporting Kansas City on yet another cold and rainy Sunday. Remember when soccer used to be played on Saturdays?
And the match would end in a 1-1 draw.
After the match, we hopped in an Uber to get back to Northside to get a slice of pizza at Chameleon and then we walked home…
And the slices were pretty much the best part of the evening. Standing around on another cold and rainy Sunday watching a lackluster performance. I’m getting pretty tired of these Sunday matches. If I wanted to watch mediocre football on Sunday afternoons, I’d go to Bengals game.😀⚽️❤️
