Orlando City went on the road twice this past week and came home with a pair of results, running its unbeaten streak to eight matches (5-0-3) after a win at Sporting Kansas City and a draw at FC Dallas. Both were firsts for the Lions, who had never won at Children’s Mercy Park or earned a single point at Toyota Park. We’re breaking down both matches, hitting the key talking points, and awarding our picks for Man of the Match — neither of which was unanimous this week.

Ben Cork from Once a Metro stopped by to help us preview Saturday afternoon’s match-up between the Lions and New York Red Bulls. The previously struggling Red Bulls have hit their stride the last two matches and Ben tells us what’s different and what we might expect on Saturday.

The Orlando Pride continued their Fall Series schedule in Houston on Saturday and things did not go well. Hey, at least Ashlyn Harris played well. We discuss the match and the current state of the Pride with the Fall Series half over. We also go a little over on our OCB minute after another loss for the Young Lions.

This week’s Ask Us Anything segment wants to know about television shows and we like our television shows. 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.

After the mailbag, we give you our key match-ups and score predictions for Orlando City’s match-up Saturday at Exploria Stadium against the Red Bulls.

That’s all for this week.

Stay safe and enjoy the show!
