Not only do we have actual soccer to discuss, but we’re talking about an Orlando City victory, which makes it even sweeter. The Lions got the better of their South Florida counterparts from Inter Miami CF last Wednesday, by a 2-1 final score. We dissect the match and the key moments that helped decide the outcome. We also make our Man of the Match picks.

We’ve got an Orlando Pride player loan to discuss and we touch on the NWSL Challenge Cup standings and some of the surprises going on out in Utah. And USL League One starts in a few days and as of this recording we don’t know when OCB will kick off its 2020 season.

Christian Smith, manager of Hudson River Blue, joins us to break down the Orlando City vs. New York City FC match-up and what we can expect from the Pigeons. They won’t have Maxi Moralez but the New Yorkers will still have plenty of quality on the pitch and the Lions better step up their game.

The mailbag is chock full and includes the best question we’ve ever gotten. 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 Captain Marvel.

Finally, we give you our key match-ups and score predictions for Orlando’s remaining Group A matches against NYCFC and the Philadelphia Union. The pressure is on me after a perfect prediction against Miami.

Stay safe and enjoy the show.
