PawedCast Episode 559: Revolution Rewind, Orlando Awards, On-Field Honors, and More

Michael Citro — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 05:30:00 GMT

Orlando City closed the season on Saturday against top-tier competition as the New England Revolution visited the Lions for Decision Day. The Lions needed to win and get help elsewhere to avoid staying in the ninth spot and had it not been for a stoppage-time goal by Columbus against the Chicago Fire, it couldn't have gone better. Orlando did its part with a 1-0 win and got help from Nashville against FC Cincinnati, but Chicago failed to hang onto a point late, forcing the Lions to host the single-elimination Wild Card game.

We break down the win, look back at our score predictions, and make our selections for Man of the Match.

We also touched on some of the awards Orlando players have either received or are in contention to win.

Our mailbagbox asks about Robin Jansson's legacy, our best last-minute ticket bargains, and more. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.

After the mailbagbox, we turned our attention to Robin Jansson's retirement news, the ceremony after Saturday's match, and his seemingly inevitable future enshrinement in the club's Legends Terrace.

Finally, we spoke about our news drop from last week about ceasing operations after the 2026 season, including the outpouring of support we've received, the kindness shown by the club, why things need to wrap up, and the various things/folks for which we are thankful.

Here’s how No. 559 went down:

0:15 – The Lions showed they can play well defensively as a team. But will this become a trend?

15:58 – The mailbagbox is focused on Robin Jansson.

38:54 – More on Jansson, our big news, what to expect, why things are happening, and just how darn thankful we are.

PawedCast Episode 558: Chicago and Charlotte Rewinds, Revs Preview, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 05:30:00 GMT

Orlando City tried to bounce back from allowing a late goal to New York City FC at home on Oct. 24. The Lions did not bounce back, blowing a two-goal lead at Chicago in the second half in a 2-2 draw before getting shelled at Charlotte and losing 4-0. As bad as it was to bring home only one of six possible points, the teams chasing the Lions had a worse week, as the New York Red Bulls were eliminated after blowing a 2-0 lead and losing to Nashville, while lowly Atlanta beat Toronto FC 3-1 on Sunday to knock the Reds out of postseason contention.

All of that weirdness on Sunday helped Orlando City back into a playoff spot with one game left in the regular season. The Lions can finish seventh, eighth, or ninth, and given the team's fortunes on the road in 2026, no one is going to feel good about the team finishing ninth.

We look back at a draw that felt like a loss in Chicago, and a loss that felt like the Lions were never in, pointing out the key plays, moments, and players. We looked back at our score predictions as well, and made our selections for Man of the Match from both contests.

We also discuss the various playoff scenarios that might await Orlando City.

Our mailbagbox asks about Martin Perelman's future with Orlando, how Nashville should approach Decision Day against FC Cincinnati, Ivan Angulo's legacy as a Lion, and more. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.

After the mailbagbox, we discussed OCB's year-end status updates to let you know which Young Lions will, won't, and might be back in 2027 for the MLS NEXT Pro Sprint Season. We also touch briefly on the 2027 MLS Sprint Season schedule.

Finally, we look ahead to Saturday's Decision Day match against the New England Revolution. This isn't a good matchup for Orlando City, though the Lions have been more successful against the Revs at home over the years (except in the playoff meeting). We discuss the series history, the two teams' relative positions, our key matchups for the game, and our score predictions.

Here’s how No. 558 went down:

0:15 – The Lions threw away another lead in Chicago and never showed up in Charlotte.

36:08 – The mailbagbox asks us to think like Nashville.

1:02:10 – Sprint Season schedule, OCB's roster decisions, and Orlando City hosts New England on Decision Day.

PawedCast Episode 557: NYCFC Rewind, Chicago and Charlotte Previews, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City looked to finally erase a long winless drought against New York City FC in what was all but a must-win game for playoff positioning when considering the remaining opponents on the schedule. But the Pigeons used every second of a seemingly overestimation of added time to steal a point at the death, spoiling things for the Lions' faithful. It was far from Orlando's best performance, but it still seemed as if the team had done enough to get the win, only to suffer a draw that felt more like a loss.

We look back at an uncharacteristic home performance, look back at our score predictions, and make our selections for Man of the Match.

Our mailbagbox asks about Antoine Griezmann, Lions as holiday side dishes, and more. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.

After the mailbagbox, we looked ahead to Orlando City's final two regular-season road matches — both against teams in the top four of the Eastern Conference. We look at the series history against both the Chicago Fire and Charlotte FC, check out how each team has performed to this point in the season, provide our key matchups for the two games, and attempt to predict the scores of those matches. It could be a difficult week based on Orlando City's road form all season.

Be sure to rate and review our show wherever you get your podcasts. Remember, we'll read any five-star reviews we get on Apple Podcasts on the next show.

Here’s how No. 557 went down:

0:15 – The Lions were seconds away from victory and, like so many times previously, couldn't hold on.

28:55 – The mailbagbox disses Halloween and dives straight into Thanksgiving while the calendar still says 'October.' SMH.

42:00 – A difficult two-game trek to Chicago and Charlotte without coming home in between could be the difference between finishing above or below the playoff line.

PawedCast Episode 556: Toronto & D.C. Rewinds, New York City FC Preview, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City closed out a busy stretch of three games in eight days with a wild 3-3 road draw at Toronto FC and a dominant 4-1 win over D.C. United, building on last week's win over Columbus. While dropping two points at the end of the Toronto game stings a bit, the creativity and flair of Saturday's win makes it easier to move on.

We break down the come-from-behind, come-from-behind, come-from-ahead draw at BMO field, as well as the fluid, beautiful team buildups at home against D.C., discuss the key plays, players, and moments, and look back at our score predictions. We also present our choices for Man of the Match for both games and discuss more accolades for the Lions.

Our mailbagbox asked us to do the impossible. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.

After the mailbagbox, we looked ahead to Orlando City's critical penultimate home game of the regular season as New York City FC visits the purple palace on Saturday. The Lions need to keep the train rolling with every point precious in the playoff fight. Orlando has opponents much higher up the table the rest of the way (with two of those on the road), and there are no guarantees in this game, so it's a crucial game. We looked at the series history and the current situations of the clubs, provided our key matchups, and tried to predict the final score.

Be sure to rate and review our show wherever you get your podcasts. Remember, we'll read any five-star reviews we get on Apple Podcasts on the next show.

Here’s how No. 556 went down:

0:15 – The Lions picked up four of six points but were oh so close to taking all six.

35:45 – The mailbagbox seems to think we're capable of anything. We are not.

41:47 – An important battle against New York City FC looms on Saturday.
