What looked like a euphoric Charlotte FC comeback home win turned into a disappointing draw Saturday night, as Colorado Rapids equalized late to keep CLTFC winless at Bank of America Stadium this season. Matt, David and Corey debate the late-game tactics, specifically the substitutions and how the team switched to a defensive posture in the final 15 minutes. But it's not all doom and gloom. To keep things light, we asked listeners to send us some fun questions, and boy they delivered. Sometimes

2023/03/13

What can we say about that match? Charlotte FC lost to Atlanta United 3-0 at Bank of America Stadium in one of the most deflating performances of the team's short history. So we're doing this episode a little differently: Y'all sent in a ton of questions, so we devoted the entire episode to answering them. We cover everything from who gets the blame for the goals, what's happening at left back, what's the most worrisome part of this slow start and why there were so many Atlanta fans in the crowd

Bad mistakes. Charlotte FC's made a few. Matt and David are back from St. Louis after watching CLTFC lose 3-1 to the expansion side. We discuss the trip as a whole before trying to understand what happened on the field. Then we look ahead to That City coming to town Saturday and the Anton Walkes scarf and tribute. Finally –understandably –we got a lot of fan questions this week so we dig into those as we try to figure out how Charlotte FC moves forward from this slow start.

Mint City Soccer Show ·

2023/02/15

This Charlotte FC season feels different for many reasons. First, the tragic loss of Anton Walkes. We discuss that and tell you about a fundraiser that supporters in Charlotte in Atlanta created together to support Walkes' family. But it also feels different on the field with new signings and more positive preseason results. With less than two weeks until the season opener, Matt, David and Corey dig into how the team looks now, the 3-0 preseason win over Charleston Battery and what we can expect
