Orlando City sent out a whole bunch of press releases the day our last episode dropped, so we start this show by recapping that news and those notes. Nico Lodeiro and Michael Halliday are off to Houston, while Wilder Cartagena will watch the entire 2025 season from the sidelines as he has been placed on the Season-Ending Injury list. We break down what all of that means for the Lions.
First-round 2025 SuperDraft pick Joran Gerbet joined us to discuss his arrival in Orlando, what it's like going from college to pro soccer, how he fits into what Oscar Pareja's system works, and much more. Big thanks to Joran for taking time out of his opening night preparations to spend some time with us, and we can't wait to see what his goal celebrations are like.
The mailbagbox wants to know about international slots, what we'd wear on the bench if we were coaching the Lions, if David Brekalo can displace Rodrigo Schlegel, and much more. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.
Finally, we looked ahead to Saturday night's opener against the Philadelphia Union. Philly may have missed the playoffs, but the Union still have some terrific (and dangerous) offensive weapons. Orlando City will need to be on point defensively to start the season off right. We offer up our key matchups and score predictions.
Be sure to rate and review our show wherever you get your podcasts. Remember, we'll read any five-star reviews we get on Apple Podcasts on the next show.
Here’s how No. 465 went down:
0:15 – A few news items regarding Orlando City since our last show a few days ago.
10:11 - Joran Gerbet jumps on with us to discuss the adjustment from college soccer to MLS.
25:51 – The mailbagbox is pretty full for there only being a few days between shows.
51:12 - Our key matchups and score predictions for Orlando City's opener vs. the Philadelphia Union.
