Chicago Rewind, Red Bulls Preview, and More The Mane Land PawedCast

    • Soccer

Odd officiating decisions that have gone against Orlando City through the years would make for a fascinating book with a lot of pages in it. The Lions had them in back-to-back weeks after a strange decision not to penalize Federico Navarro for catching Ivan Angulo's leg in front of goal with the goalkeeper out of the way. While that wasn't the only reason Orlando City dropped two points at Soldier Field, it was a major contributor on a night when the offense simply didn't have anything much to offer.
We looked back at our score predictions, broke down the game, discussed that decision, and made our Man of the Match selections.
This week's mailbagbox asked us about our favorite concerts and Orlando City's Designated Player situation. If you turned in your question after lunchtime on Thursday, we will have to get to it on the next episode, as we had to record early in the day due to a quirk in my schedule. 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.
After the mailbagbox, we discussed OCB's upcoming trip to South Florida. The Young Lions owe the Baby Herons of Inter Miami II some payback for a "home" loss at IMG Academy in Bradenton earlier in the season.
Finally, we looked ahead to Orlando City's trip to play the New York Red Bulls. It's not optimal that the Lions are staying on the road rather than returning home in between. This isn't to say it's not a smart idea in many ways, but the club has a bad history when extending a road trip for the second game. We looked at the Red Bulls' statistical leaders, provided our key matchups, and made our predictions for the final score.
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. 423 went down:
0:15 – The Lions scored early. Then they stopped. It didn't hold up. At least it wasn't a loss.
26:57 – Our mailbagbox asks us about concerts and Designated Players.
35:25 – OCB looks for payback against the Baby Herons and the Lions head to New Jersey.
