Orlando City players and coaches can hold their heads up high despite falling 2-1 to the Portland Timbers in the MLS is Back Tournament final. It was an exciting and joyous run to the championship match and Oscar Pareja’s Lions needed those games to come together as a team. We break down the final, give you our Man of the Match selections, and discuss the players who made the tournament’s Best XI squad. We also have news about fans returning to Exploria Stadium as soon as next week (!) and we try to soften the blow that an upcoming signing may not be the savior fans are hoping for.

We also discuss a potential name for Orlando City’s series against Inter Miami. I’m not asking anyone else to use it or even like it but it might be sticking around these parts for a while.

We’ve got even more Orlando Pride loans and we talk about what that means for any NWSL action in 2020. Then there’s our OCB Minute — with two games to discuss — and of course our mailbag. 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.

Finally, we finish off the show with our key match-ups and score predictions for Orlando City’s match this Saturday on the road at Inter Miami.

That’s all for this week.

Stay safe and enjoy the show!
