CITY SC POSSE 26 Episodes

Kev is back, and St. Louis CITY SC still hasn't lost. CITY extended its incredible run to 19 matches unbeaten across all competitions with a 3-0 road win over Red Bull New York, putting St. Louis right in the middle of the race at the top of the Western Conference. The streak has now reached 17 straight in MLS play, and CITY can tie the MLS record for the longest unbeaten run across all competitions with one more result. St. Louis CITY SC Matt and Kev break down the Red Bulls win, Rafael Navarro...

St. Louis CITY SC just keeps winning, and Kev picked a pretty interesting week to go on vacation. With CITY now 18 matches unbeaten across all competitions, Duds jumps over from NFNP to fill in for Kev and figure out how a team that struggled early in the season suddenly became one of the hottest clubs in MLS. Matt breaks down the 3-1 win over Toronto, CITY’s first-ever trip to the U.S. Open Cup Final, the impact of Rafael Navarro, Carlo Holse, Alex Mățan, Simon Becher and the club’s new depth,...

St. Louis CITY SC is now 90 minutes away from the U.S. Open Cup Final. And somehow, that isn’t even the only ridiculous thing happening with this team. CITY fell behind Minnesota United in the fifth minute Saturday night. A few months ago, that might have felt like the end of the night. This time? Nobody panicked. CITY responded with four goals, controlled the match and walked out of Energizer Park with a 4-2 win, extending the club’s unbeaten run to 16 matches across all competitions and 15 ...

Rafael Navarro didn’t need much time to introduce himself. Thirty-four seconds into his first start for St. Louis CITY SC, the club-record signing had his first CITY goal. By the 51st minute, he had two. Navarro’s brace in Wednesday night’s 2-2 draw at Portland gave him the fastest goal in club history and made him the fastest CITY player ever to record a brace. He now has 12 goals and four assists in MLS this season. And even though Portland equalized again in the 89th minute, CITY’s ridicu...

All right, Conrad Wallem. We owe you one. Last week’s CITY SC Posse literally included the words “Wallem Must Sit.” Then CITY went into first-place Vancouver, won 3-1, and Wallem responded with his first goal of the season, another assist and a spot on MLS Team of the Matchday alongside Tomas Totland. Yoann Damet was also named Coach of the Matchday. So Bright opens Ep27 with an official apology. Sort of. We break down CITY’s massive road win over Vancouver, how St. Louis recovered after con...

St. Louis CITY SC went all-in at the transfer deadline. Now comes the hard part: figuring out who actually plays. CITY made the biggest move in club history, acquiring Rafael Navarro from Colorado for a club-record $12 million and giving the 26-year-old Brazilian striker a Designated Player slot. Navarro arrives with 38 MLS goals, including 10 this season, and immediately becomes the true No. 9 CITY has been searching for. But he wasn't the only addition. CITY also brought in 6'4" USMNT forwa...

CITY and FC Dallas enter Sunday night with the exact same record and the exact same number of points. Somebody has a chance to separate themselves. St. Louis CITY SC is riding a 12-match unbeaten run across all competitions after knocking off Houston 2-1 at Energizer Park, but the celebration came with another major roster change: Eduard Löwen is officially headed to San Jose. Bright and Kev break down the Houston win, Simon Becher's opener, Dante Polvara's late winner, Roman Bürki's big saves...

St. Louis CITY SC is still unbeaten, but the feeling after Kansas City w/ Houston looming is weird. Bright and Kev break down CITY’s frustrating 1-1 draw at Sporting KC, a match that technically earned a road point but emotionally felt like a loss. They discuss Kansas City’s 18 shots, CITY’s lack of attacking rhythm, Löwen’s deflected free-kick goal, Becher earning the foul, Sang-Bin’s crossbar chance, Wallem’s rough rating, Durkin’s yellow-card suspension, and why CITY was lucky Sporting KC s...

It is game day, and City SC Posse is back after last week’s power-outage podcast disaster. Bright and Kev preview St. Louis CITY SC’s Wednesday night rivalry matchup against Sporting Kansas City, with CITY riding a club-record 10-match unbeaten run across all competitions. They break down why this is a huge opportunity for CITY to finally win at Sporting Park, why SKC’s poor form makes this an expected win, and why rivalry games are never as simple as the standings suggest. The guys ...

St. Louis CITY SC is no longer just trying to survive the season. CITY is 7th, climbing, and suddenly staring at a massive opportunity against Real Salt Lake. On this episode of City SC Posse, Bright and Kev switch up the usual format and start with the Real Salt Lake preview before circling back to the Colorado recap. CITY sits on 25 points with an even goal differential, while Real Salt Lake is one of the teams directly ahead in the Western Conference. A win could push CITY into a much more s...

St. Louis CITY SC is no longer just playing better. CITY is officially climbing. On this episode of City SC Posse, Bright and Kev recap CITY’s 3-1 road win over LA Galaxy, a result that pushed St. Louis into 8th place in the Western Conference and continued one of the hottest runs of form in MLS. Bright opens by welcoming new listeners and explaining what City SC Posse is all about: casual fan reaction, the eye test, match impressions, standings, stadium experience, and the moments fans actuall...

City SC Posse is back for Episode 20, and suddenly the season feels alive again. Bright and Kev start by thanking everyone who watched, listened, shared, and supported the Wrexham AFC bonus episode, which became the show’s biggest episode so far. After the original Wrexham story, the stolen rental car, the missing souvenirs, and Wrexham AFC replacing the entire order, the bonus episode brought in thousands of streams and new listeners to NFNPPOD and City SC Posse. Then it is back to St. Louis ...

A St. Louis CITY fan wore his CITY kit to Wrexham, visited The Fat Boar, the Racecourse, the Club Shop, and The Turf, then had his rental car stolen with all the Wrexham merch inside. After reading the blog, Wrexham AFC replaced the entire order and now Bright is a fan for life! Read the blog at NFNPPOD.com/blog/wrexham/

City SC Posse is finally back from the World Cup break, and Bright and Kev are ready to remember what St. Louis CITY SC soccer felt like before international soccer took over everyone’s brains. The guys start with a quick World Cup reset, Team USA frustration, and the relief of getting back to Energizer Park. CITY enters the restart in 12th place, still outside the playoff line, but close enough that the next stretch matters. With Sporting KC, LA Galaxy, and Colorado coming up, CITY has a ...

St. Louis CITY SC is two wins from a trophy, and somehow this all started with a school-night family outing that turned into penalty shootout madness. In this episode of City SC Posse, Bright and Kev recap CITY’s wild U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal win over Houston Dynamo at Energizer Park. Bright was there with the whole family, and the night delivered everything: cheap tickets, general admission energy, long concession lines, kids running on popcorn and ice cream, Franky joining the unofficial Ta...

St. Louis CITY SC had a chance to prove something in D.C. After beating Colorado on the road and LAFC at home, CITY entered Saturday with real momentum, a chance at three straight MLS wins, and an opportunity to climb closer to the playoff line. Instead, they scored first, sat too deep, gave up a 90th-minute equalizer, survived a stoppage-time offside goal, and left with a 1-1 draw that felt like one point earned, two points dropped, and a small emotional incident report. In Episode 17 of City...

CITY SC Posse is back, and for once, we get to talk about a road win. St. Louis CITY SC went to Colorado, won 1-0, scored first, kept a clean sheet, and somehow made all of it feel slightly illegal. Sang-Bin Jeong got the start, made the run, finished the breakaway, and gave CITY the kind of direct attacking moment fans have been begging for. Roman Bürki stayed solid, the defense survived, Colorado missed a late sitter that may still be orbiting the Denver skyline, and CITY walked away with thr...

CITY SC Posse is back for Episode 15, and for once, we are talking about a win. Weird, right? St. Louis CITY SC went on the road in the U.S. Open Cup, survived an ugly first hour against the Chicago Fire, conceded first again, and then somehow flipped the match with the help of actual useful substitutions. Eduard Löwen came on, Makai Joyner brought energy, Thomas Totland followed the play, and suddenly CITY looked like a team that remembered soccer is allowed to be fun. Was it beautiful? Absol...

City SC Posse Episode 14 is therapy, rage, and soccer talk all rolled into one. After a brutal 3-2 home loss to San Jose, Bright is still pissed and honestly, he should be. CITY had the atmosphere, the chances, the momentum swing, and a chance to make a real statement at home, and still found a way to blow it. In this episode, we break down the full disaster, from the early concession and endless missed chances to the electric two-goal burst that briefly made it feel like the season was about ...

After getting absolutely smacked around in Seattle, the boys are back to break down another frustrating CITY performance, ask what the hell happened on those repeated set-piece goals, and figure out whether there is still any real reason for optimism before San Jose comes to town. Seattle was ugly, the marking was worse, and the attack once again looked like a team crossing the ball because it has run out of better ideas. As Bright puts it, CITY may be leading the league in crosses, but that mi...

In Episode 12, we break down St. Louis City SC’s frustrating 1-1 draw against FC Dallas, a result that felt a lot more like two points dropped than one point earned. City controlled long stretches of the first half, dominated possession, created chances, and still walked away stuck with another draw after a second-half defensive lapse punished them again. We get into: Why this match felt completely different from the NYCFC draw City’s continued problem of failing to capitalize when they contr...

City SC somehow found a way. In Episode 11 of City SC Posse, we break down the chaotic 1-1 draw against NYCFC, a match that felt more like a loss for 90 minutes… until it didn’t. A 90+6 equalizer saved a point, but let’s be honest, this team didn’t deserve it. So what does that mean? We dig into everything: Why this draw felt like a win… and a warning The brutal reality of City’s offensive struggles (2 shots on target says it all) Berkey doing Berkey things and keeping this team alive Cor...

City SC Posse – Ep. 10: Let’s Keep the Momentum After finally breaking through with a 3-1 win over New England, the Posse is back and riding the momentum… cautiously. In Episode 10, we combine a full Matchday 5 recap with a Matchday 6 preview, breaking down what actually changed in that win, and whether it’s something City can carry forward into a brutal stretch of road games. We relive the moment where everything almost felt familiar again… conceding early, the crowd holding its breath, and ...

This week on City SC Posse, we’re calling our shot. After a frustrating start to the season, we’re previewing Matchday 5 with one clear belief: this is the week St. Louis City SC finally gets it done.
