The 2020 MLS campaign is underway and we’re here to discuss Saturday’s season-opening game between Orlando City and Real Salt Lake. It lacked goals but the Lions did a lot of good things in their first competitive outing under Oscar Pareja and we’ll tell you about those good things and give your our selections for Man of the Match.

We then welcome in Sean Curtis from Burgundy Wave to give us the lowdown on what’s up in Colorado besides the altitude and what we might see out of the Rapids — a team the Lions only face once per season.

Our final segment features two more draft picks signed by the Pride, Emily Sonnett’s trip to Exploria Stadium, the SheBelieves Cup, some chatter about OCB’s 2020 roster (yes! OCB news!), and the Orlando SeaWolves. We answer a wide range of questions from our mailbag, too. If there’s something you want us to address on our next show, just ask by tweeting it to us @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC.

Finally, we give you our key match-ups for Saturday night as well as our predictions for the Lions at the Rapids.
