  • Love the show

    I love the show and hearing more about Charlotte fc. Moving to NC on September and glad there’s a good team down there. Danny I have to say that saka is far from the best player in the world. He’s no Salah

  • Use microphones!

    I gave this 5 stars to support CLTFC pods, but for the love of all that is holy, listen to your published audio. The quality is trash. Get a microphone to plug into your refurbished laptops! You’re making the club look bad.

    But, good show. Keep at it!

    Used to really enjoy listening to both of you, but it’s getting tough. The negativity is really starting to get to me. Please bring back the good vibes and positivity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hello, Houston! Charlotte FC vs Dynamo Preview with Lloyd Sam from Apple TV
Q: Give me a goal score. Tell me one player on either team who's going to score a goal.
I would pick a Houston scorer who needs a goal, and say Guilherme or Bogus are in the mix, with Duncan Maguire as a bench option; for Charlotte, Toklamati and St. Maximim are likely to be involved in goals given their creativity and positioning.
Emotional Rescue | Charlotte FC vs DC United Preview w/ Ian Joy
Q: What stands out about Toklamati as a signing and its impact on the team?
The panel agrees Toklamati brings pace and goal threat, but notes the need for a veteran scorer to complement him and help stabilize the attack as they push for MLS Cup contention.
Emotional Rescue | Charlotte FC vs DC United Preview w/ Ian Joy
Q: How do you balance aggression and patient build-up when leading 3-1?
Joy explains that coaches typically instruct players to consolidate, but individual players may pursue a fourth goal; the key is managing minutes and ensuring the squad's energy remains high without overextending key players.
Emotional Rescue | Charlotte FC vs DC United Preview w/ Ian Joy
Q: What do you think about Charlotte FC from what you've seen?
Ian highlights Charlotte's entertaining style and depth, stresses the importance of maintaining form through injuries and rotation, and emphasizes how the team's broader squad, not just star players, will drive postseason success.
Charlotte FC @ Chicago Fire Preview w/ Francisco X. Rivera
Q: What do you see when you look at the Chicago matchup and how can Charlotte try to win this thing?
Charlotte must test Chicago's home dominance early, exploit gaps on the wings, and leverage counterattacks, especially with Vargas and Zaha unavailable, while matching Chicago's physicality with disciplined defending and quick transitions.
