Orlando City Podcast: JUSTIN ELLIS DEBUT GOAL! USMNT Shines 4-1 While Orlando City Gets Crushed by Philly

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 10:26:26 GMT

PawedCast Episode 553: Philadelphia Rewind, Justin Ellis' USMNT Debut, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City has a losing streak and the goal differential is starting to pile up the wrong direction again after another 4-2 loss on the road. The Lions were second best to the Union all night after a pair of early controversial calls went to the hosts. This isn't the first time there have been some decisions go against Orlando in the City of Brotherly Love, and the Professional Referee Organization might not issue an apology after the fact this time.

We look back at the loss to the Union and the continuing story of a defense that just can't seem to lock things down, check on our score predictions, and I think we forgot to make our selections for Man of the Match. I'm going Ivan Angulo, but we can discuss it on next week's show.

Our mailbagbox asked us about Lions as chess players, which players were missed the most on Saturday, 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 discuss OCB sending Pedro Leao to a team in the United Arab Emirates. Without an Orlando City game this weekend, we also discuss the USMNT's 4-1 win in Orlando with Justin Ellis scoring the quickest debut goal in the program's history.

Finally, we look ahead to the Lions' match in Philadelphia on Saturday. The Union are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference since the restart, but the match is complicated by the international break, which will take players away from both sides. There will be no Cavan Sullivan vs. Justin Ellis matchup as both teens will be with the USMNT in Orlando to face Wilder Cartagena and Peru. We look at the series history against Philly, discuss where the teams sit relative to one another in the table, provide our key matchups, and try our best 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. 553 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City continued its slide and its bad habit of shipping buckets of goals at Philadelphia on Saturday.

18:48 – The mailbagbox declares a checkmate.

31:24 – OCB sends Pedro Leao to the UAE and Orlando has a badly needed week off. Well, most of the Lions. We discuss Justin Ellis' USMNT debut.

PawedCast Episode 552: Crew and Revs Rewinds, Philly Preview, OCB Out of Playoffs, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City's unbeaten run came screeching to a halt with two road losses in four days as the Columbus Crew knocked the Lions out of the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday and the New England Revolution scored twice in stoppage time to undo a hard-fought comeback in what was eventually a 4-2 loss for City. All of it was made worse by an injury to Antoine Griezmann and the absence of Griffin Dorsey, leaving fans to wonder what might have been if the injury bug hadn't bitten at the least opportune time.

We briefly discuss the loss to the Crew that cost Orlando it's best shot at a trophy in 2026 before launching into the discussion of a match the Lions were out of, then back in as the clock hit 90 minutes, and then back out of again in stoppage time. The road has been especially problematic for the defense, which continues to give out goals to opponents like candy to children on Halloween. We look back at our score predictions and provide our picks for Man of the Match for Saturday's game against the Revs, and the latter was a virtual toss-up.

Our mailbagbox asked us about international break replacement players, Saturday's loss to New England, how we like our steaks, 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 discuss OCB's Decision Day loss to Atlanta United 2. The Young Lions began Sunday in the playoffs and ended the day in 10th place and outside looking in. It was a thorough beatdown to cap a weekend in which all three Orlando teams lost while shipping four goals and those things are very much related to each other.

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. 552 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City suddenly has a losing streak and just...not now, OK? Can you not?!

24:01 – The mailbagbox is medium and doesn't mind some sauce.

41:31 – OCB crashes out of the playoffs before they even start (again) which could help the senior Lions make up the numbers that will be missing at Philadelphia.

PawedCast Episode 551: Toronto Rewind, Crew and Revs Previews, OCB, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City picked up its second consecutive home shutout win and third win on the bounce, extending its unbeaten run in the process with a 3-0 blanking of Toronto FC on Saturday. It was an important win, as the Lions had to rotate some players to prepare for Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup semifinal match at Columbus, and the kids were more than all right. So was Antoine Griezmann, who scored for the fifth consecutive match, leading to a halftime advantage. Harvey Sarajian and Ivan Angulo put the game to bed late, but there were other good opportunities and although they went wanting, so did all of Toronto's chances.

We break down a solid home win over a streaking Toronto club, look back at our score predictions, and make our selections for Man of the Match.

Our mailbagbox asked us about Griezmann, our go-to, fast-casual Mexican food orders,Tiago, 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 discuss OCB's home win over Toronto FC II on Sunday, in which Sarajian made it two straight nights with a goal in a professional soccer match. He chipped in an assist on Sunday for good measure as the Young Lions won 3-1 and climbed into a playoff position with one match remaining. OCB can finish anywhere from third to 11th in the Eastern Conference standings depending on Decision Day results Sunday, but a win over Atlanta United 2 would ensure a postseason berth.

Finally, we look ahead to two more opponents this week. The Lions will face the Crew on the road, where wins aren't easy to come by. That game could lead to a home USOC final match if things go well, but the Crew have improved and will be a difficult out. The Lions will then proceed to New England to face a rejuvenated Revolution side that currently occupies third spot in the Eastern Conference. That match takes place in the house of horrors they call Gillette Stadium. We provide our key matchups and score predictions for the latter after reviewing the series history against both clubs.

Here’s how No. 551 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City extended its streak at the expense of Toronto's.

20:54 – The mailbagbox has had its expectations exceeded.

33:15 – OCB rolls into Decision Day while the senior Lions prepare for two massive matches in the team's pursuit of a trophy and a playoff spot.

PawedCast Episode 550: San Diego Rewind, Atlanta and Toronto Previews, OCB-Inter Miami II, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City met San Diego FC for the first time on Saturday. The Lions needed to come away with all three points at home in a tight race in the Eastern Conference, and Antoine Griezmann's first-half goal made sure they did just that. It wasn't always the prettiest game, and Orlando should definitely have scored more than once, but a win at this stage of the season is valuable regardless of how it comes. We break down the key moments and players, look back at our score predictions, and make our selections for Man of the Match.

Our mailbagbox asked us about Luis Otavio, Chris Mueller, 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 discuss OCB's road win over Inter Miami II and look ahead to Sunday's meeting with Toronto FC II. The Young Lions have just two games left and a lot of work to do to finish above the playoff line. Were the last two games a momentary blip or an actual trend? We'll find out over the next two weeks.

Finally, we look ahead to two opponents this week. The Lions must travel to rival Atlanta in the midweek before coming home to host Toronto. Both teams have played better recently, and nothing is ever easy in MLS. We look at the series history for both opponents, review the tale of the tape(s), provide our key matchups, and make our final score predictions.

Here’s how No. 550 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City might have learned something from the four-minute defensive lapse at Minnesota, because the Lions gave San Diego nothing on Saturday.

21:21 – The mailbagbox gets player specific this week.

33:07 – OCB crushes Inter Miami II, and the senior Lions have two quick turnarounds with games at Atlanta and at home against Toronto FC. We've got your previews.

PawedCast Episode 549: Minnesota Rewind, San Diego Preview, OCB, and More

Michael Citro — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City went to the Land of 10,000 Lakes and somehow found itself up two goals past the hour mark despite only mustering two shot attempts in that time. However, the game normalized as Minnesota United scored three times in a four-minute span and appeared headed to a win that would have been painful for the Lions. Tyrese Spicer had other plans, however, as he scored in stoppage time to snatch a late point for Orlando. We look back at a crazy game against the Loons, reflect on our score predictions, and make our unanimous selections for Man of the Match.

Our mailbagbox asked us new fan questions about rivalries as well as old fan questions about squad rotation during fixture congestion, Orlando City's insane rate of conceding goals, 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 discuss a surprise victory for an OCB squad that had been floundering and looked completely out of sorts for weeks. The Young Lions may have one more run in them, and they'll need it as they are below the playoff line with three matches remaining.

Finally, we look ahead to the first-ever meeting between Orlando City and San Diego FC. The blandly named California side has some excellent attacking players and has been a success since entering MLS just two years ago (it feels like longer!). We break down the tale of the tape between the teams, provide our key matchups, and try to predict the final score.

If you’d like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we’d love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.

Here’s how No. 549 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City blew a two-goal lead, fell behind late, and then equalized in stoppage time in a crazy game at Minnesota. It's a draw that should have been a loss that should have been a win.

26:21 – The mailbagbox makes up for last week's oversight.

48:58 – OCB beats the top team in the conference to snap a five-game losing streak and the senior Lions prepare to face San Diego FC for the first time ever.
