Today’s cup of coffee might taste a bit bitter, but maybe the morning needs a Montreal bagel for accompaniment.

It’s already been a difficult week for FC Cincinnati—that goes without saying. After two immense defeats on the road, the Orange & Blue have one more shot to turn the tide before the international break kicks in.

CF Montreal comes into TQL Stadium with a similar record and a chance to build for the future. Head coach Marco Donadel has had the “interim” label removed from his job title, but can he produce a better result than the 3-0 loss at Cincinnati to end the season last year?

We sit down with Elias from TBIR to discuss the offseason reset and the influx of young talent. Are there building blocks that could be put on display against Cincinnati? Is Club de Foot’s big win over Red Bull New York an anomaly or a sign of things to come?

Tune in and trade threads with us, kid! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer
