From all of us at Red Smoke Rising, Happy New Year! May the year ahead be all you hope for and more! We look forward to catching up with you throughout 2026! #AllForCITY

As we say goodbye to 2025, we close out our 6th season of podcasting about @stlcitysc.com & soccer in St. Louis. After 93 episodes in ‘25, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every person who’s tuned in. 🥂 We can’t wait to run it back again w/you all & #AllForCITY in 2026!

We wanted to have some fun to close out 2025, but it turned out that picking the top 3 #AllForCITY players of the season was a little more challenging than we expected. But after much conversation here's our list. Who made yours?

Missing us? Don't worry, we'll be back soon! Here's the upcoming schedule that will carry us through the opening week of the regular season! Mark your calendars and follow us on our socials so you don't miss any of the Red Smoke Rising!

"Interesting" is the take I'd give this article from goal.com regarding the hire of Yoann Demet. Stating that CITY was the "2nd worst team in MLS" is factually incorrect, as they were 24th in the shield standings. It also states "St. Louis have a squad built to keep the ball" - since when?

Have to agree with Bogert. As was discussed at the @stlouligans.bsky.social Christmas Party, it's gonna be difficult to overhaul the roster in one winter window. This is just the start of the process, and hopefully the club (and the fanbase) understand that and give Wray the time to build.

If you're an #AllForCITY fan clamoring for change, the roster announcements for CITY2 today seem like a big deal. Not keeping senior players around to try to win a reserve league and using the team more as a development tool. Everyone has fun with CITY2 but this seems like the right call.

SLU loses 2-1. Had a good scoring chance get deflected wide int he 87th minute that would have tied it. NC State dominated the first 30 minutes of the second half, and that's where it got its two goals.
