PawedCast Episode 362: Atlanta United Rewind, OCB-Atlanta, and More

Orlando City went to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and did something the Lions have only done once in their history in the series — they claimed all three points on the road against Atlanta United. From Mauricio Pereyra’s string-pulling to Duncan McGuire’s strong finishing, to Wilder Cartagena and Cesar Araujo starving forwards of service, to Antonio Carlos doing everything he possibly could on both ends, the Lions played a complete road match and got a deserved three points. At least, I think they did. It’s possible the game is still in stoppage time.

We discussed the key talking points of the game, checked in on our predictions (which were wrong), and made our selections for Man of the Match.

This week’s mailbagbox was impressively full, and you guys had a lot of variety in your questions. We did our best to answer them fully, if not succinctly. 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.

Finally, we broke down a crazy game in Kissimmee between OCB and Atlanta United 2. Just when you thought the Young Lions were going up a man, they went down a man instead, and despite falling behind in the second half with fewer players on the field, they still managed to control most of the 90 minutes against their rivals to the north. It was an absolutely bananas game and we can’t wait to see what OCB does next.

Here’s how No. 362 went down:
