Orlando City had a heck of a week, knocking off both Nashville and Atlanta by identical 3-1 scores. The Lions beat both teams for the first time ever, but one of those teams required a lot more matches before it finally happened. We break down both games and selected our Man of the Match. We also discuss the surreal events of Wednesday and how they eventually led to problems at Real Salt Lake.

We’ll tell you about another Pride player leaving the country to get minutes even as the NWSL is set to start playing games in the Fall Series. In fact, now we know where and when the Pride will play their next match. Plus, the OCB minute features a draw that could have been a win.

Our mailbag runneth over and we’ve got the answers you crave. Movies, new Orlando City fans, and press box food are just some of our topics. 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-up tonight against Nashville SC and Saturday’s game at Atlanta United. I didn’t even have to change the previous sentence from last week’s post!

That’s all for this week.

Stay safe and enjoy the show!
