Next Match – Birmingham Legion vs Louisville City – 10/30/2021

The Central Division all comes down to this. While Louisville City had sat atop the division for the majority of the season, the Birmingham Legion was never too far off and managed to close the gap and eventually overtake LouCity for the top spot. With only two points separating the two, a win could see Louisville retake first, while a draw is all that is needed for Birmingham to hang on. It’s a spooky Halloween weekend affair that not only determines the division but playoff

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Memphis 901 – 10/23/2021

Louisville City has had a few hiccups in their 2021 campaign and was in the midst of another as they enter the final matches of the season. Losses in Memphis and Indy have put doubt in the minds of some as the start of the playoffs approach. After the LIPAFC loss, Coach Danny Cruz stated, “These last two results don't take away the other 28 games that we’ve played and how we’ve performed. So, I have full confidence in this group of men, I have full confidence in what we're tr

Match Recap – LIPAFC – Indy Eleven vs Louisville City – 10/16/2021

After three Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contests, the 2021 LIPAFC remains undecided, all coming down to one final encounter. While Indy Eleven may be essentially eliminated from the playoffs, they have an opportunity to salvage something from their unfortunate season by winning the LIPAFC and hurting their southern rival's push for first in the division. Louisville City shot themselves in the foot with the Memphis mishap and need a repeat performanc

Next Match – LIPAFC – Indy Eleven vs Louisville City – 10/16/2021

Despite the difference in record, there is always something for both Louisville City and Indy Eleven to play for in a Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest. With a draw and a win apiece between the two sides, this 4th and final LIPAFC will determine the series. After a rather painful loss to Memphis 901, City will be heading north for the final encounter with their Indiana rivals. Playing at Indy’s Carroll Stadium went well last time and the boys will

Match Recap – Memphis 901 vs Louisville City – 10/13/2021

Coming off two home wins (NM and SKC), it’s back on the road for the boys in purple. One more trip down to Memphis before the end of the season. With the Birmingham Legion right on Louisville City’s tail, every point will be critical in the final stretch of the regular season (as spelled out in How’s It Going Part 4). City only managed a draw in the previous trip south to TN, however, it was nearly a win for the away side. Would LouCity be able to beat the 901 and keep the Le

How’s It Going? Part 4 – An Assessment of Louisville City’s 2021 Season-To-Date

How about one more overview before the final few matches of the regular season? With only four matches left, there is still a TON to play for. The Central Division is far from a lock for Louisville City. Let’s dive right into it. LouCity held a six-point lead over the Birmingham Legion when the data was pulled for Part 3. That lead has evaporated to only two points. Two road draws from Morados was all the Legion needed to make it a tighter race. Home field has been officially

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Sporting Kansas City 2 – 10/09/2021

Louisville City had only secured two wins in their last five. While they have avoided losses in that stretch, the race for the top in the Central Division has become tighter than ever. Those matches were all on the road except for their most recent encounter, which saw City securing all three points against New Mexico United. The next foe LouCity would face in their quest to position themselves well for the upcoming playoffs was Sporting Kansas City. Would they be able to gra

Next Match – Louisville City vs Sporting Kansas City 2 – 10/09/2021

The away-heavy recent stretch has been tough on Louisville City and despite the less-than-desirable results, they have done well to stay out of the loss column. Winning the regular-season crown may no longer be in the cards (barring some wild turn of events) but they need wins to have as much of the playoffs at home as possible. Returning home and grabbing a big win against New Mexico United was a confidence-booster for the squad. Next up for the boys in purple is Sporting Ka

After a draw in Atlanta, Louisville City finally get to return home for a match in Lynn Family Stadium. It would be no ordinary match as City would take on an unfamiliar foe, New Mexico United. This LOUvNM match would have a national audience as it was getting the ESPN treatment. With the Birmingham Legion locking in their playoff spot a day prior, the pressure was on for LouCity to do the same. Would this be a joyous homecoming for the boys in purple? Louisville City Lineup

Jonathan Gomez to Real Sociedad!

The long speculated fate of Louisville City’s young star, Jonathan Gomez, has officially been announced! In January 2022, he will officially join La Liga side, Real Sociedad. While he is expected to be joining their B squad, a jump from the USL to La Liga, one of the biggest leagues in the world, is massive. JoGo, a potential US or Mexican international, has worked hard for years to prove himself to make this dream become a reality. “I’m honored to take this next step in my c

Match Recap – Atlanta United 2 vs Louisville City – 09/29/2021

The latter portions of Louisville City’s 2021 season have been filled with many away matches and frustrating results. The team had a strong start but do not appear to be playing to their full potential as the playoffs draw near. LouCity’s most recent match, a 1-1 draw at Memphis, was a continuation of this trend. With this, ATLvLOU (who we last played back in July), being the final away match before a game back in Lynn Family Stadium, the boys in purple were looking to secure
