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.

PawedCast Episode 546: Leagues Cup Rewind, San Luis and Cincinnati Preview, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City started its Leagues Cup campaign over the last week, posting a pair of 2-1 games, with a win by that score over CF Monterrey and a loss by the same count against Club Leon. The Lions didn't rotate much between the two matches, and the legs looked a bit heavy in the second half against Leon. Both games had their share of chippy play and controversy, and now it'll be difficult (though not impossible) for Orlando to advance to the knockouts.

We discuss both matches, how the goals came about, and some of the controversies that shaped them. We also touched on the rotation and how much of it we'd like to see Wednesday against Atletico de San Luis before league action returns Saturday with the arrival of FC Cincinnati.

Our mailbagbox asked us which Lion will transfer to Europe next, the team's starting XI if everyone is healthy at the same time, 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 briefly touch on OCB's game today at New York City FC II, providing a tale of the tape for a reserve side that has been decimated by call-ups in recent weeks.

Finally, we get ready for another Leagues Cup game (against San Luis) on Wednesday and the next MLS match against FC Cincinnati on Saturday. We look at the history of Cincy vs. Orlando, provide our key matchups, and make our score predictions.

Here’s how No. 546 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City may not get to the knockouts of Leagues Cup, and based on a reluctance to rotate much so far, that might be best for the rest of the MLS season.

24:34 – The mailbagbox has another strong showing.

37:52 – OCB, more Leagues Cup, and our FC Cincinnati preview.

PawedCast Episode 545: Red Bulls Rewind, Leagues Cup Preview, OCB, and More

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

Orlando City was capable of beating two of the three best teams in MLS a week ago, but on Saturday, the Lions weren't good enough in a terrible first half that led to a 3-2 road loss at the New York Red Bulls. The defensive problems the team has experienced on the road all season resurfaced, with New York hardly having to work up a sweat to find runners behind the Lions' leaky back line.

We break down Orlando City's latest road defeat, which at least showed a little fight in the second half, look back at our score predictions, and make our selections for Man of the Match.

We also chatted briefly about Maxime Crepeau's fine showing at the MLS All-Star Game and Skills Challenge.

Our mailbagbox asked us about Orlando City's top three goal scorers at season's end, Justin Ellis, 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 go through the OCB minute, as the Young Lions continue to spiral without Harvey Sarajian, Gustavo Caraballo, and Bernardo Rhein. They're off this weekend, so there is time to fix some things before the next match.

Finally, we get ready for the Don Garber cash grab Leagues Cup tournament. Orlando has a difficult first opponent before playing two clubs near the bottom of the Liga MX table. We'd like to see the kids play for the Lions to retain focus on the MLS season, but that's not typically in this club's DNA. Monterrey and Leon are up this week for Orlando City, and the first of those teams just signed both Diego Rossi and Hugo Cuypers, so...it could be another rough outing for Orlando's defense.

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. 545 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City gets swept by the Red Bulls and can't stop letting teenagers score, but at least Crepeau had some fun at the All-Star Game.

22:49 – The mailbagbox asks about Justin Ellis and wants us to predict things even though we're bad at predicting things.

31:46 – OCB continues to struggle and the senior Lions head into Leagues Cup.

PawedCast Episode 544: Quakes and Nashville Rewinds, New York Preview, OCB, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City is coming off its best week of the season after going on the road and beating the Western Division co-leaders (second on goal differential, technically) and returning home a few days later to beat the MLS Supporters' Shield leaders. It was something we didn't see coming, and even the most optimistic fans out there didn't likely expect six points out of six this week, despite the presence of Antoine Griezmann.

We break down both matches, discussing the key players, moments, and plays, as well as the new tactical setup of the team. We touch on Bernardo Rhein signing a Homegrown Player deal ahead of Saturday's match. And we look back on our understandably pessimistic score predictions and make our selections for Man of the Match for both outings.

Our mailbagbox asked us about Orlando City left backs from now until the end of the season, 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 go through the OCB minute, as the Young Lions are struggling offensively and were fortunate to lose only 1-0 at home on Sunday against Huntsville City. We also look ahead to OCB's trip to CT United FC.

It's All-Star Week, and there's no doubt Orlando fans will be keeping an eye out to see how well Maxime Crepeau plays after his fantastic week in which he kept the team's first two MLS clean sheets in over a year.

Finally, we look ahead to Orlando City's matchup on the road against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night. Can Martin Perelman and Antoine Griezmann keep the good vibes going in the final game before the Leagues Cup kicks off? We look at the history of the series, present our key matchups, and make our score predictions.

Here’s how No. 544 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City played two games against two of the three best teams in MLS and beat them both without allowing a goal. That was...unexpected.

40:07 – The mailbagbox is left-handed.

50:51 – OCB was bad on Sunday, but another match awaits on Saturday. Meanwhile, the senior Lions will be on the road in New Jersey.

PawedCast Episode 543: Daryl Dike Returns, San Jose & Nashville Previews, OCB, and More

Michael Citro — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 04:30:00 GMT

Orlando City is set to resume its 2026 MLS season with a pair of games this week and they are both doozies, as the Lions will travel to California to face Western Conference co-leaders and Supporters' Shield-contending San Jose, before returning to face Supporters' Shield and Eastern Conference leader Nashville SC. It's not going to be a cakewalk, folks, but it will tell us quickly if any progress has been made by Martin Perelman in fixing his defense, especially away from home.

In the meantime, Orlando finished its "second preseason" by beating FC Dallas away on Wednesday in a friendly. Antoine Griezmann and Martin Ojeda scored the goals for the Lions, and it was nice to get some news out of a friendly for a change.

After discussing the friendly, we chat about Daryl Dike's return to Orlando. The big striker is coming home in the prime of his career, looking to stay healthy and re-establish himself. If Dike can regain his old form and stay on the pitch, he'll be an outstanding midseason signing.

We also discussed Orlando City's newest Homegrown Player signings — goalkeeper Tristan Himes and defender Clovis Archange. It's always nice to have players coming up through the pipeline to follow as they try to make their way to the first team.

Our mailbagbox asked us another (multi-part) question about Thomas the Train, when Marco Pasalic might play his last game for Orlando City this season, 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 dive into OCB's 1-1 draw at Chattanooga FC and the ensuing shootout win as the Young Lions bring back two out of three points from Tennessee. Up next for OCB is a match against Huntsville City at home on Sunday. We briefly discussed the Chattanooga game and previewed the Huntsville match.

Finally, Orlando City has two huge games against teams at the top of the league just a few days apart. The trip to San Jose on Wednesday could be ugly if the Lions haven't fixed their defensive issues, as the Earthquakes are just as capable of burying Orlando with five or six goals as some of the previous teams that have done so this season. Additionally, the second game may be even tougher, as it will be against a team that destroyed the Lions 5-0 earlier this season. Nashville SC has the starpower, the firepower, and the league's stingiest defense. Getting any points from this pair of games will be difficult. We present our key matchups and score predictions for both matches, and we're not feeling super confident until we see what the team can do after several weeks working toward Martin Perelman's vision.

Here’s how No. 543 went down:

0:15 – Orlando City beat Dallas in a road friendly, Daryl Dike is back, and we've got some new Homegrown Players.

13:20 – The mailbagbox is a little train-centric these days.

24:45 – The Young Lions didn't play their best but they battled for two points on the road against a good team. The senior Lions will play two of the three best teams in MLS this week, but the additions of Griezmann and Dike should help.
