Despite a minor wardrobe snafu we were honored to welcome Kaylyn Kyle back to the show to preview the Charlotte FC-Montreal match! Is this a "Bounceback Game" or a "Statement Game"?? youtu.be/N6xmp_GTU28

Great visit with Sacha Klejstan ahead of Charlotte FC's history-chasing match vs NYCFC on Saturday at noon. Most surprising thing he told us: Pep Biel should NOT be inserted straight back into the starting XI for this match. Find out why, go listen: youtube.com/watch?v=Y3pl...

Kristijan Kahlina's smile says it all. Saving a PK attempt by Lionel Messi is a career achievement worth waiting for:

Electric energy pulsed all throughout the Fortress last night, and the players fed off of it⚡️🏟️⚽️👑🎇 Please Note: if you were wearing pink in the stands, BroniBro would like a word...

No doubt about it, BroniBro is totally cooking up top

Wilf Zaha explains the meaning of his "What a Life" brand:

Wilfried Zaha says it was an easy choice letting Idan Toklomati take the PK for a hat trick vs Inter Miami. Teammate.

MLS is the best league in the world b/c it's the only place you can watch Brandt Bronico outplay Leo Messi in the duel of the No. 10s.

With Charlotte FC chasing MLS history, we went big this week for the TFOS with 3 episodes! Like/Share/Subscribe all over the place, links in the replies👇

It's just that simple, folks...

💉💪 Messi Who??

What's better than one Wilf Zaha?? TWO Wilf Zahas!!

For Wilfried Zaha, Saturday Night's Showdown in Charlotte is not about Lionel Messi, it's about MLS History:

"I'd rather you try to punch me or even pull my hair..." Wilfried Zaha stakes out a strong anti-Spitting position. Are you taking notes, Luis Saurez?? @intermiamicf.bsky.social

Dean Smith suspended for key Charlotte FC showdown vs Inter Miami. Wilfried Zaha: "Us older players are going to have to be the gaffer's voice on the pitch..."

Wilfried Zaha 🫶 Charlotte

👑 ⛰️ ⚡️ 🇵🇪😮‍💨

Any pro athlete knows- You Play Like You Practice. When it came time for Roman Harper to prep for his epic beer-chugging coronation moment, he went into his film and got some pointers from Stone Cold Steve Austin:

"Charlotte loves winners...it would be awesome for Charlotte FC to bring a trophy home." Roman Harper gets it 👑🏈⚽️🏆

Turns out Futbol & Football have more in common than some might think! Love the breakdown analysis from @Harp41 on the match-winning goal from @toklomati "He just wanted it more than anyone else"

We were honored to have Roman Harper join us for an episode to talk about his memorable coronation ceremony before the "Utah" match and get some insight on similarities between futbol and football, hope y'all enjoy this one as much as we did Link in reply 👇

Archie Goodwin does not lack for confidence. Modeling his game after Erling Haaland 😮 👽

There it is...

Confident & Smiling. We love to see it! Welcome to Charlotte FC, Archie Goodwin. Let’s Decode this Presser! youtu.be/dIJE6H6Mh5M?...

Yeah that’s starter money

Love The Drake

Real good business despite the personal feelings about both players that make it hurt as fans

Charlotte FC was never losing after this. Roman Harper setting the tone like only he can. 📸 Matt Geslin

Strong Content Week at CSS...stay current! -John & Danny took stock of season after massive win vs Cincy -Danny welcomed Anna Witte to break down some beautiful Goals! Goals!! Goals!!! -Danny Decoded Intro Presser of new Left Back Harry Toffolo Links Below 👇

One of our favorite new formats for the show this year- Goals! Goals!! Goals!!! Shoutout to Anna Witte of @wfnz.bsky.social for sitting in to break down the sick scoring streak Charlotte FC has been on... www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVq6...

I wish clubs would mention in their announcements what number the player will be wearing. I hope he gets 12!

Archie Goodwin Official

Kahlina, Bingham, Odunze, and now Callender gives us probably the best goalkeeper group in MLS. The problem with that is: only one can play at a time. Genuinely hoping this isn't a sign of Kahlina leaving. That would be coming out of nowhere.

Gotta Love the Drake…

Waking up to posts from Cincinnati fans complaining about the Red Card. Nasty levels of cope at play.

Finally bring in a fullback to address depth on the back line and immediately we’re short going forward

Pep Biel out the next month or two…great

Why not?

It’s a great question

Infuriating to see Pep Biel go down with a hamstring injury in a meaningless game. #ForTheCrown #LeaguesCup

Take it from Captain Ashley Westwood: Sleep 😴 >>>> Gym 🏋🏻‍♀️

Revealing answer from Dean Smith asked why Charlotte FC struggles to match Win a Trophy rhetoric with Matchday Mindset in actual Cup games: “I don’t think the players, probably, realized what this game was going to be about.”

There’s actually a twisted pleasure that you can derive from listening to Dean Smith recount just how “horrendous” Charlotte FC played vs Juarez #LeaguesCup

Deano’s review of Nathan Byrne’s return to action vs Juarez- not great, but some things to build on

Don’t expect Nathan Byrne to play Sunday vs Chivas, says Dean Smith. His next minutes should come Thursday vs Monterrey

Why has Charlotte FC not signed a striker to replace Patrick Agyemang yet? “Because we’re not going to sign just any striker” says Dean Smith

Dean Smith gives an injury update on Adilson Malanda who’s dealing with a cyst on the knee

The Many Faces of Nate Byrne

Nathan Byrne asked about watching Charlotte FC struggle in his absence. “That’s just football…” Great perspective here:

Nathan Byrne thought he was going in for a painkiller shot to deal with his slipped disc, but his doctor said “nope, you need surgery.”
