VamosMorados.com Player of the Year

Despite the untimely conclusion of the team’s season in the Eastern Conference Finals, Louisville City had a great season and much to be proud of. Along with breaking in the team’s new home, Lynn Family Stadium, there were many wins in the abbreviated season and some brilliant play all across the pitch. From the top of the attack, all the way to in-between the sticks, Lou City fans were treated to some incredible individual performances. To commemorate these efforts, a poll w

Match Recap: Louisville City vs Tampa Bay Rowdies - 10/24/2020 - 2020 Playoffs

You know the saying; life, death, and Lou City in the Eastern Conference Finals. Every season of their existence they have made an appearance. Even the topsy-turvy 2020 couldn’t keep them out. Some fans may take this for granted, but when you think about it, that is an impressive feat. The 2020 edition of the ECF saw the Tampa Bay Rowdies making the journey to Lynn Family Stadium to duke it out with Morados for a trip to the Finals and the right to host it on ESPN. Coach Hack

Thank You, Louisville City

Last night was a tough pill to swallow. Being so close to silverware and falling short is painful. I’m gutted for the team who did not take the loss lightly. 2020 has been universally accepted as a terrible year, and this adds to the list. Despite this untimely conclusion of Morados’s season, there is much to be thankful for. Six years of existence and six appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals. Amazing. There have also been three appearances in the Finals, with two res

VamosMorados.com Player Of The Year Poll

Regardless of the outcome of tonight’s #LOUvTBR match, the end of the season is near. With the season coming to a close, I felt it would be a fun idea to have a fan selected player of the year! There are many players on the squad worthy of this honor, but we can select only one. I’m not only hosting a poll for this award, but I am also adding a charitable twist. After we select a winner, I will have that player select a local charity that I will make the focus of a fundraisin

After Louisville City Thanos-snapped Saint Louis FC from existence on Saturday, only one team stands between City and a fourth consecutive finals appearance. The champions of Group H, the Tampa Bay Rowdies, stomped the Birmingham Legion in the first round and edged out the Charleston Battery last match to earn the trip to Lynn Family Stadium. With Phoenix Rising relinquishing their hosting rights (should they win), the winner of the Lou City vs Rowdies match will earn the pri

Match Recap: Louisville City vs Saint Louis FC - 10/17/2020 - 2020 Playoffs

A trip to the conference finals already makes a match important, but the stakes are further raised when it’s a rivalry matchup. What made the storyline of the Louisville City vs Saint Louis FC match even more intense was the fact that Cinderella STL side was literally playing for their own existence. In four previous meetings in the wild 2020 season, Lou City had earned a record of 2-1-1. One of the Lou City wins was a bit of a blowout, but the other three matches were all ve

Back on September 30th, FiveThirtyEight had only given Saint Louis FC an 11% chance to make the playoffs. Their late-season battle for survival (and Indy Eleven’s collapse) delighted both fans and neutrals alike. Having not only made the playoffs but also made out of the first round with some last-minute drama against Hartford Athletic, they now return to Lynn Family Stadium. Who could have guessed that Louisville City would get one more Kings’ Cup match against Saint Louis?

Match Recap: Louisville City vs Pittsburgh Riverhounds - 10/10/2020

On Saturday night, Lynn Family Stadium hosted its first playoff match. The Pittsburgh Riverhounds came into town to take on Louisville City in what has become a budding rivalry for supremacy of the east. Fueled by their extra-time loss in last year’s Eastern Conference playoff, the Hounds were looking for a repeat of their 3-1 win in Louisville. Many had pegged this matchup as an Eastern Conference Finals caliber match. Because of the playoff structure, fans were treated to a

A few months back, Louisville City’s playoff hopes were far from a sure thing. In early August, City had lost three of their last four and was about to take on a red-hot Indy XI. In the ensuing weeks, the squad’s performance did a total 180 going on a run of 11 straight unbeaten. On Saturday, Lou City will look to extend that streak to 12 in the first round of the playoffs against unofficial rivals, Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Having won Group E (suck it, Indy), the match will be

The conclusion of the regular season took place on Saturday evening for Louisville City at Lynn Family Stadium. Morados ended the campaign taking on fellow Group E opponent Sporting Kansas City 2 for the fourth and final time. Sporting KC was already eliminated from playoff contention before this match, although they managed to squeeze several wins out of the East’s Group of Death. The hot days of summer have passed, and the supporters were greeted with a fall chill that sign

After a bit of an emotional rollercoaster of a season, we are finally at the end of the regular season. On Saturday, Louisville City takes on Sporting KC 2 one last time in 2020. It feels like we have played them 800 times, doesn’t it? Anyway, they failed to remain in contention for the playoffs, so for them this is a farewell tour. For City, however, there is still reason to keep on the gas. Should Lou City beat SKC and Tampa Bay Rowdies and Hartford Athletic botch their las
