FC Cincinnati: A Season of Triumph and Disappointment

A Look Back at the 2022 Season

FC Cincinnati's 2022 season was a tale of two halves. The first half was marked by triumph, as the team made a historic run to the semifinals of the US Open Cup. They also won their first-ever match in the CONCACAF Champions League, defeating Tauro FC 2-0. However, the second half of the season was a disappointment, as the team struggled to find consistency in MLS play and finished 12th in the Eastern Conference.

Key Moments of the Season

Some of the key moments of FC Cincinnati's 2022 season include:

• The team's 5-0 victory over the New England Revolution in the US Open Cup quarterfinals.
• The team's 2-0 victory over Tauro FC in the CONCACAF Champions League.
• The team's 12th-place finish in the Eastern Conference in MLS play.

Reasons for the Disappointing Finish

There are a number of reasons for FC Cincinnati's disappointing finish in MLS play. One reason was the team's lack of consistency. The team often played well in one match and then poorly in the next. Another reason was the team's lack of depth. The team did not have enough quality players to compete with the top teams in the league.

Looking Ahead to 2023

FC Cincinnati will be looking to build on the successes of the first half of the 2022 season and improve on their performance in the second half of the season in 2023. The team has made a number of changes to their roster, including signing several new players. They will also be playing in a new stadium, TQL Stadium. With these changes, the team is hoping to make a run at the MLS playoffs in 2023.
