A Louisville City FC blog

The 2021 season ended on a sour note. It was as painful of an ending as one could imagine and it helped to shape the 2022 campaign. In his first offseason as head coach, Coach Danny Cruz shook up the roster and began to build a team to fit his vision. The changes looked good on paper and it translated just as well onto the pitch. Louisville City’s 2022 season was one of its most successful to date, despite falling short of the ultimate goal to win the club’s third championshi

For the fourth time in eight years, Louisville City found themselves in the USL Championship Finals. It took two nail-biters, but the squad got the job done and earned the right to compete for the trophy they set out to win at the start of the season. San Antonio, the other number-one seed, came out unscathed from the West and played host to the boys in purple. Two juggernauts in the USL who had yet to face one another would be the final match of the year with the title on th

With the possible impending collapse of one of my most used engagement tools, Twitter, it’s pushed up my timeline a bit for this one. Thanks, Elon. Anyway, this isn’t about a preventable collapse of a giant social media platform, but rather about Louisville City’s history. Our history. In October, I reshared my post cataloging all the tifos that have been a part of LouCity. This generated some interesting conversation and got the wheels churning. The genesis of this site stem

In late October, the fans voted and declared Kyle Morton as the VamosMorados.com Player of the Year! Like in years past, there was a charitable component tied to this, with funds being solicited for both Kyle’s chosen charity, The Cabbage Patch Settlement House, and the LouCity & Racing Foundation. I am happy to announce that a total of $435 was raised between the two causes. I want to give a big thank you to everyone who donated. We have a very compassionate and caring fanba

It all comes down to this. Louisville City had a spectacular year and thrilling wins over Pittsburgh and the Tampa Bay Rowdies to make it to the 2022 USL Final. The match will be on the road as San Antonio FC made it out of the West after beating the Oakland Roots and Colorado Springs Switchbacks. First in the East versus first in the West. No upsets in the playoffs leading us to wonder “what if” regarding as SAvLOU matchup. Fans of the league will have an opportunity to see

Not all rivalries are proximity-based. In the past two seasons, the Tampa Bay Rowdies have ended Louisville City’s playoff run in the Eastern Conference Finals. Once at Lynn Family Stadium and once at Al Lang (in dramatic fashion). Those matches were not forgotten in their regular season meetings since. All have been close affairs. Their 2022 ECF meeting would be the third straight. Would the Rowdies continue to be LouCity’s playoff kryptonite or would this be the year that M

For the third straight year, the Eastern Conference Finals has come down to Louisville City and the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Both clubs are coming off dramatic wins. LouCity beat Pittsburgh in PKs while the Rowdies beat Memphis after Memphis missed a PK in added time while they made one of their own. These two have seen each other twice before in 2022. The most recent meeting was the “Fill The Fam” match in which Louisville won and earlier in the year it was a loss down in St. Pete
