Next Match – Louisville City vs OKC Energy FC – 07/31/2021

Louisville City returns home to Lynn Family Stadium after a two-game road trip resulting in four points. Coming off a midweek win against Sporting KC 2, LouCity will once again take on the OKC Energy. These two squared off earlier this month and the result was favorable to Morados; a 3-1 win and Joshua Wynder’s debut. So, how has the Energy faired since the last encounter? Have the Energy sorted out their problems to make this a more competitive match or can we expect another

Match Recap – Sporting Kansas City 2 vs Louisville City – 07/28/2021

Following the draw to the Colorado Spring Switchbacks, Louisville City’s western road trip continues onwards with a midweek match against Sporting Kansas City 2. The last match against SKC2 (also away) ended as a thrilling 4-2 affair with Kyle Greig scoring a brace, a goal and an assist for Brian Ownby, and Corben Bone securing two assists. SKC Jr sits at the bottom of the Central Division but has accumulated four points in the two matches since the last meeting. Is this rese

Match Recap – Colorado Springs Switchbacks vs Louisville City – 07/23/2021

On the heels of a redemption win against Atlanta Jr, Louisville City FC took their first road trip to the “Centennial State”. Weidner Field played host to the Friday-night affair against the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. These two sides have yet to play one another because of the historical divide between the east and west in USL play. Were the Switchbacks able to defend the west or did LouCity showcase the might of the east? Louisville City Lineup Deployed in the 4-2-3-1 tha

The Tifos of Louisville City

Several months back, I wrote a piece on the tifo creation process after I had an opportunity to participate in the making of one. Now, having had that firsthand experience, I've developed a much greater appreciation for tifos. They are projects that take time and man hours and we, the Louisville City fan base, are extremely fortunate to have dedicated individuals such as the Harpers who help bring these to life. It is a unique part of soccer culture and something that both th

Celebrating One Year of VamosMorados.com

On August 8th, 2020, I published the first post on VamosMorados.com. While a match preview isn’t the sexiest introduction, it was my first foray into writing on Louisville City and the start of a wonderful journey. To honor the one-year milestone, I wanted to take some time to reflect on the site, my Louisville soccer fandom, and the experiences I have had over the past year. I get a little long-winded here. Sorry. If this isn’t your cup of tea, I totally understand. We will

Next Match – Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC vs Louisville City – 07/23/2021

Saturday’s win over Atlanta United 2 was Louisville City’s third win in three matches. Despite a few hiccups here and there, the team has had a solid showing this season. They will need to remain focused if they want to end the season at the top. LouCity’s next opponent will pose a unique challenge, as it is a team they have yet to face. They will be taking the long trip to Colorado to face Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. Will this unfamiliar squad wrinkle City’s plans to ke

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Atlanta United 2 – 07/17/2021

After having rebounded from the Tulsa loss with a 3-1 win over the Energy, Louisville City was looking together to rack up another win on a short rest period. Aiden McFadden’s Atlanta United 2 took the trip north to try to secure another win against LouCity. ATL2 had capitalized on a Louisville team stuck in a rut but this time, momentum was in City’s favor. Would LouCity get redemption for the loss earlier in the season or would the fixture congestion get the best of them? L

While the win against the Energy was certainly needed and welcomed, the focus must be shifted to the next opponent. With only a few days between matches, it’s back to action against Atlanta United 2. The previous ATL match was LouCity’s worst match of the season and one of their lowest points. Saturday they will look to set the record straight. Atlanta has performed well this season given their age, coaching changes, and general lack of player continuity that most MLS 2 sides

The Tulsa road trip wasn’t any fun for Louisville City, but they thankfully did not have to wait long to right the wrongs of Saturday and make up some lost points. The OKC Energy posed a unique challenge for the squad, but not an insurmountable one. It was a quick turnaround between matches against an unfamiliar opponent who fortunately appeared to be operating at a below-average standard. Were the boys in purple able to make it a rebound win, or would it be a second consecut

Next Match – Louisville City vs OKC Energy FC – 07/14/2021

The last match did not go as planned for LouCity but they have a midweek opportunity to get back in the win column. The OKC Energy are heading east for their first visit to Lynn Family Stadium. Although OKC has largely been a west-aligned team, City has faced them before. Late June 2015, Louisville slaughtered the poor Energy 6-2. They did get a red card, but it was over 80 minutes into the match and is hardly the reason they lost. Can Louisville City turn this into another b

Following a beat down of Swope Park Rangers in their house, the boys in purple were away again, returning to Tulsa. The previous encounter resulted in Louisville City leaving with all three points. However, it didn’t end up being a comfortable win as the home team nearly salvaged a draw. The Roughnecks are in playoff contention and would be looking to make up for the previous TULvLOU outing. Would this still somewhat unfamiliar foe be able to expose the weaknesses of Louisvil

An exhilarating road win against SKC2 last weekend has Louisville City second in the Central Division down two points to Birmingham Legion. Fortunately, City has a game in hand. Their next match is back to Tulsa seeking yet another win. The last match was a bit chaotic but played out in LouCity’s favor. Can Louisville see off the Roughnecks once more in their own home? FC Tulsa, who sits third in the Central Division, is the team for neutral fans. Goals abound. They score 1.7

Louisville City has left the comfort of the stadium of lights for a Friday road match at Children’s Mercy Park against Sporting Kansas City 2. With the 3-3 draw against Indy still fresh in their heads, the boys in purple were looking to get back on track. Meanwhile, SKC was looking to begin a winning streak of their own and begin the slow climb from the depths of the Central Division table. The Swope Park Rangers matches have often been exciting encounters (the 2017 USL Final
