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.

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.

PawedCast Episode 548: Chicago and RSL Rewinds, Minnesota Preview, OCB, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City again played a pair of matches in between episodes of our podcast (sorry, PawedCast), and they both ended in the same scoreline but with different results. The Lions hosted the Chicago Fire in the midweek before welcoming Real Salt Lake on Saturday.

The Lions fought back from 1-0 deficits in both matches, but whereas an ill-advised and poorly timed challenge by Robin Jansson handed Robert Lewandowski the chance to put Chicago ahead in the second half, which he did, Orlando City completed the comeback Saturday against RSL, with Antoine Griezmann scoring his first MLS brace en route to an MLS Player of the Matchday award and a spot on the MLS Team of the Week. That win came after an opening 45 minutes that saw the Lions bang their heads against Real Salt Lake's low block, but the second-half subs and a more aggressive approach was the difference over the weekend.

We discussed both matches, looked back at our score predictions (one of us got Saturday's match exactly right), and made our selections for Man of the Match.

Our mailbagbox (Dave's birthday edition) asked us about TV shows, movies, substitutes off the bench, 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 mention OCB's lopsided loss at Atlanta United 2 and move on quickly out of a commitment to self care.

Finally, we look ahead to the Lions' trip to Minnesota on Saturday. Orlando City will need to sharpen up a bit to get a road result against the Loons on the road, and it will be nice to see what some of these players can do with a full week's rest between games for a change. We looked back at the history of the series, check out where the teams are in the standings, provide our key matchups, and try our hand at predicting the final score.

Here’s how No. 548 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City loses 2-1 and wins 2-1 in a span of just a few days. There were highs and lows.

31:52 – The mailbagbox wants to avoid jump scares.

43:45 – OCB loses again and the senior Lions head north to face Minnesota United.

PawedCast Episode 547: Cincy Rewind, Leagues Cup Wrap, Chicago & RSL Previews, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City has a new third kit, and it's a good one. The Lions have already worn it once, and they looked good in it (because it's a good-looking kit).

The Lions played twice since our last show, including closing out Leagues Cup with a 2-2 draw followed by a 5-3 penalty shootout win against Atletico de San Luis. Orlando City threw away a 2-0 lead late in the second half after two chances to put it away were uncharacteristically misplayed by new Designated Player Antoine Griezmann, who was perhaps a bit too unselfish and definitely was too trusting of his teammates being where he thought they should be. He'll likely adjust, but it was a rough lead to let slip away, and if we're being fair, there was no need to send him into what was essentially a meaningless game in terms of Orlando's chances of advancing through the group.

We also discussed Saturday's home draw against FC Cincinnati. Both teams left the match thinking it should have been three points instead of one, but that's how it ended up. The Lions came from behind on Tyrese Spicer's goal. We look back at our score predictions and make our selections for Man of the Match.

Our mailbagbox asked us about the Lions making the extra pass, where our EPL teams will finish in the table, 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 mention OCB's latest shutout loss and quickly move on for the sake of our mental health.

Finally, we look ahead to the Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively. The Lions will have their work cut out for them against both sides on continued short rest. We looked back at the series history against both clubs, provide our key matchups, and make our final score predictions.

Here’s how No. 547 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City gets a new kit and a pair of draws in the span of a few days.

37:07 – The mailbagbox makes the extra, extra, extra pass.

48:00 – OCB loses again and the senior Lions will host Chicago and Real Salt Lake this week.
