FC Cincinnati International Break Updates | Is the USMNT’s Next Generation Ready?👀+ Atlanta Preview

The Flyin Lion Podcast is back with a packed episode covering the latest USMNT camp takeaways, FC Cincinnati’s players on international duty, and a look ahead to FCC’s massive stretch run.

The USMNT has scored 11 goals across its first three matches of the new cycle, and the young players are starting to make a real impact. We break down Julian Hall, the emergence of the next generation, Pochettino’s approach, and what we want to see when the U.S. takes on Canada Tuesday night at Allianz Field. We also preview the matchup with Canada, including Alphonso Davies being unavailable, Jesse Marsch’s high-pressure style, and whether Pochettino sticks with the aggressive approach.

We also check in on FC Cincinnati’s international contingent. Kevin Denkey went 90 minutes for Togo in AFCON qualifying, Pavel Bucha made an appearance for Czechia against Spain, Samuel Gidi helped Slovakia U21 hold England to a scoreless draw, and we have updates on Andrei Chirila, Connor Dale and Miles Robinson with their respective national teams.

Then it’s back to FCC. With seven matches remaining and 21 points still available, can Cincinnati still make the playoffs? We break down the remaining schedule, how many points FCC may need, the importance of the two matches against D.C. United, and which games could ultimately determine whether Cincinnati gets back into the postseason picture.

We also preview FC Cincinnati’s trip to Atlanta United, including the 2-0 FCC win earlier this season, Atlanta’s new-look roster, Breel Embolo, Júnior Alonso, Paulo Díaz and Giuliano Galoppo, while also discussing the departures of Emmanuel Latte Lath and Saba Lobjanidze.

Plus: Jersey Swap of the Week, Card of the Week, Trivia Question of the Week, the latest FCC discussion and more.
