Holy cow, Orlando City soccer is about to return. [/furiously knocks on wood]

The Lions will square off with Inter Miami for the first time at 8 p.m. tonight as the MLS is Back Tournament gets underway. We’ve all been waiting a long time for MLS to return so we after we discuss how this entire event could fall apart quickly — based on FC Dallas having already withdrawn and uncertainty surrounding Nashville SC — we chat with club legend Miguel Gallardo about the tournament, Orlando City’s health and chances of advancing, and much more.

We also touch briefly on some minor Orlando Pride news and the latest on the return of OCB later this month. Then we’re off to the mailbag, answering questions about Hamilton, what kinds of changes we’d make to soccer, and so on. If there’s anything — and we do mean anything —you want us to address on our next show, just ask by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC.

We continue to review our Marvel Cinematic Universe rewatch. This week we’re talking about Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Finally, we are back to giving you our key match-ups and score predictions. We’re both feeling good about the Lions but anything can happen in a tournament.

Stay safe and enjoy the show.
