Finally! It looks like we're in. The long, nerve-wracking wait is almost over for FC Cincinnati and its fans. The enormous local excitement that the club has generated in just three seasons, hailed around the soccer world, should go through the roof next week when Major League Soccer is expected to officially invite the Orange and Blue as an expansion team, probably beginning next season. FC Cincinnati has scheduled a "significant announcement about the future of soccer in Cincinnati" for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Rhinegeist Brewery, and sources tell WCPO that will be followed by a public celebration at Fountain Square. MLS Commissioner Don Garber is scheduled to attend the news conference and will likely make the formal invitation, as he did in Nashville before awarding that city an expansion franchise last December.
