The World Cup is in its final week with the four favorites alive in the semifinals. Geoff, Jose, and Jacob discuss the past week's developments.

The United States, Mexico, and Canada all struggle and crash in the Round of 16.

The World Cup group stages are finished, and all three hosts are moving on. However, the United States hit a rough patch against Turkiye by resting their starters. Are we concerned?   Geoff, Jose, and Jason look towards the Round of 32 match against Bosnia & Herzegovina, as well as the other upcoming knockout-round matches   FOR MORE CST CONTENT VISIT US ONLINE https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com   SUPPORT CINCINNATI SOCCER TALK TODAY! https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/support   SUBSCRIBE TO CINCY SOCCER TALK! iTunes: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/itunes   Stitcher: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/stitcher   TuneIN: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/tunein   RSS: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/rssfeed   Twitter: / cincysoccertalk Facebook: / cincinnatisoccertalk Instagram: / cincysoccertalk

While the World Cup was expected to have its hiccups in the planning and preparatory stages, can we say that it's been a mild success yet? Do the powerful exhibitions by the favorites, the successes of the hosts, and the unexpected draws by smaller countries have you locked in for the rest of the tournament? Geoff, Jose, and Josh are joined by Bryan Weigel, fresh from his own trip to watch the U.S. beat Australia in Seattle.   FOR MORE CST CONTENT VISIT US ONLINE https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com SUPPORT CINCINNATI SOCCER TALK TODAY! https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/support SUBSCRIBE TO CINCY SOCCER TALK! iTunes: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/itunes Stitcher: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/stitcher TuneIN: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/tunein RSS: http://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/rssfeed Twitter: / cincysoccertalk Facebook: / cincinnatisoccertalk Instagram: / cincysoccertalk

Geoff, Jason, Coach, Jose, and Jacob previewed the 2026 World Cup as well as the matchup with Paraguay.

The calendar flips almost instantly, and while club activities go under midseason hibernation, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is almost here. It's time to see how many of the 48 teams performing at the United States, Canada, and Mexico are really high caliber and stand a chance at hoisting the cup. While the finals in 2022 took place between two former winners in Argentina and France, they both had to get through surprise upstarts Croatia and Morocco to do so. the expanded field probably makes it harder for a Cinderella team to reach similar heights, but it also means there's a higher chance at a newcomer reaching stages they've yet to access. So how does this cycle shape up? We bring on CST's own Jose Guerra and Jacob Holton to discuss the distant and recent past of the World Cup. We also have Kenta Hagiwara from the Asian Football Show help us dissect the group stages and predict who gets into the knockout round. While we're at it, just why did they pick the teams they picked in the CST 2026 World Cup Draft?

For years, the shoes have been on the wrong feet. The Boys in Orange & Blue have won on the road at Orlando, but they haven't been able to defend the castle well enough when the Pride from the South comes to TQL Stadium. That's what makes the next matchup at home all the more inquisitive. Neither FC Cincinnati nor Orlando City SC have met expectations in 2026. Cincinnati has struggled defensively, while Orlando's porous defense has led to head coach Oscar Pareja getting sacked. Both squads are worst and second-worst in goals allowed in the East. That means we're getting a 0-0 draw on Saturday, right? We ask Andrew from The Mane Land about that possibility and their chances at bouncing back after a recent spell of good offense.
