Why mess with a good thing, right? With one more win to go for a USL Super League Championship, Carolina Ascent Coach Philip Poole makes his fourth visit to Soccer City to share some insight on how his team got to this title match, and how they plan to win it. You'll gain a lot from his focus on process over results and how it paid off in the down times. It's for the climb, Baby!

Idan Toklomati's fancy footwork finished off a nice team goal and 10-man Charlotte FC held on thanks to Kahlina denying Carles Gil's Free Kick. It was the perfect way to head into the extended summer break as the World Cup takes center stage.

The win also served as Wilfried Zaha's farewell match in Charlotte, which is going to play heavy into the 2nd half of the season once MLS play resumes.

John and Danny will break it all down, say farewell to Wilf, hype up Tim Ream's selection to the USMNT, and maybe even a shoutout to new Premier League Champions Arsenal.

The Carolina Ascent are unbeaten in 10 matches with one game left in the regular season, and they have a massive party planned at ALMS for the occasion.

Fullback Jill Aguilera and Coach Philip Poole pop into Soccer City to talk about the win streak, the club's growth in Year 2, the mindset going into the playoffs, and of course the Fan-tastic finale on deck.

If there's one soccer team you were betting on to bring hardware to the Queen City this season, this is it, so there's every reason to get on board as the Ascent are just a handful of wins away from a Championship...It's for the Climb, Baby!

A lifeless effort from Charlotte FC saw the Crown go down 1-0 at home to NYC FC. What's gone wrong with this club in 2026? Is it just the regular ups and downs of a season? Or is there a deeper rot settling into the locker room?

DannyBrams searches for those answers by digging into the postgame commentary from Tim Ream, Dean Smith, and Luca de la Torre. There are definitely hints to be found reading between the lines, let's discover them together!

The hottest team in Soccer City is the Carolina Ascent, unbeaten in 9 straight matches with just two games left in the regular season before their USL Super League Championship chase hits the playoffs.

Leading goalscorer Rylee Baisden stops by Soccer City for a chat with Danny Brams about what's led to the streak, how the club is growing more established in Year 2, and how they plan to win it all this time around.

She also breaks down her recent game-winning goal that clinched the club's playoff status for the season, and talks about the calmness her teammates feel in late-game, pressure-packed situations. In the end, we even bring her to (happy) tears with a blast from the past that literally no one was expecting!

It's for the Climb, Baby!

The assignment was simple, the understanding was...lacking.

Charlotte FC traveled to a nearly empty stadium on a Wednesday night and fell flat on their faces vs the worst team in the MLS Eastern Conference, shipping 4 goals to Orlando City and creating a universe of questions around the club's actual identity in 2026.

Danny & John pour themselves a couple strong ones and stare out into all the stars of the sky to try to answer as many of those questions as possible, and what they can't figure out, the Soccer Citizens are there to fill in the gaps.

Possibly the Most Important Episode We Have Ever Done, It's For the Crown, BABY!!

Charlotte FC's 2026 campaign hits the road, and Special Guest Jillian Sakovits says there's only one thing they should be focused on for this trip to New York City: Revenge!

The Apple TV host and reporter makes her Soccer City debut to preview a massive matchup this weekend, and also gets into her recent experiences working the sidelines at Bank of America Stadium, why MLS needs strong personalities like Dean Smith to always speak their minds, and what Charlotte has to offer when it comes to attracting superstar talent to the squad.

The Season Never Sleeps, and it's always For the Crown, Baby!

The match we've waited years for is finally just days away...are you ready for it?

Along with previewing the Cup match, they'll dive into the latest social media breadcrumbs being dropped by soon-to-be Free Agent Wilfried Zaha, plus dive into what exactly went wrong in a loss to Nashville last weekend and whether or not it really even mattered in the long run.
