The 50th Episode!

Matt Swift &amp; David Gusler go on Twitter Live to discuss Charlotte FC's first road victory 2-1 over Houston Dynamo, answer fans questions, and talk about the upcoming Americana match against Nashville SC. Also, David had to edit this episode since Corey is on vacation - so blame him for any bad issues with audio.

49. Houston, You Have A Problem 

It's a short turnaround for Charlotte FC and our intrepid podcast hosts as the Crown try to bounce back from Thursday's 1-0 loss to Austin and prepare to play Houston Sunday night. David and Matt discuss the home loss – and the lack of finishing – while also answering a whole bunch of listener questions.

48. Lost in the Trees

What happened to Charlotte FC in the 2-1 away defeat to Montreal? Why was this game even played with Charlotte missing 10 players? How did that second Montreal goal count? How did Swiderski not score the equalizer?  So many questions and Matt and David regroup this week to try to answer them the best they can.

47. The Montreal Screw Job 

The guys did something a little different this weekend while gathering at Matt Swift's house to drink bourbon and watch Charlotte FC draw Columbus Crew on the road. They recorded the first half of the episode pregame – how hopeful they were for that first away win – before finishing the episode with an in-depth analysis of the second match in the Lattanzio era.

44. The Lattanzio Era begins

Charlotte FC made the surprising move Tuesday to part ways with the club’s first and only head coach, Miguel Angel Ramirez. Why did this happen? And why now? What does it mean for the club? For the players? How will the fanbase react? Can Matt beat Titi Ortiz in a race? Matt, David and Corey break it all down and answer listener questions during this Twitter Spaces livestream.

43. MAR is out. What does this mean for Charlotte FC?

Matt and Vaughn jump in for a special episode all about money. Specifically, they go over GAM, TAM and where all of Charlotte FC's money has gone, and explain how being towards the bottom in spending is perhaps not as bad as people think.

42. GAM, TAM, thank you ma'am

"Vault Vaughn" Pollman in the house! He joins Matt and David as they share their surprisingly reasonable and level-headed reactions to Charlotte FC's 2-0 loss to CF Montreal Saturday – the first home loss since the opener to LA Galaxy. They talk formations, lineup changes and more to try to get to the bottom of what went wrong for the Crown Saturday night.

Johnny and Corey hop on a Zoom call to talk about ... a Zoom call. Charlotte MLS leaders held a virtual meeting with Mint City Collective members and fans to talk about their approach to building a team, ticket sales and branding (kind of).
