PawedCast Episode 433: Revolution Rewind, Nashville Preview, and More
The Lions finally got a road win in New England and now head to Nashville for a midweek clash.
Orlando City pulled it off! The Lions went to Massachusetts and came home with all three points at the expense of the New England Revolution. We don’t much care that Carles Gil didn’t play or that the Revs had a lot of injuries. What we mainly care about is getting a damn win finally at Gillette Stadium. Facundo Torres is red hot and we’re here for it. It is also helpful that Duncan McGuire’s replacement scored a goal. These are things we support.
We break down the Lions’ 3-1 win over the Revolution, look back at our score predictions, and make our picks for Man of the Match. It was, as you might expect, unanimous.
OCB was at home this weekend, but the Young Lions only fared 2/3 as well as the senior side. After falling behind Inter Miami II in the second half, Wilfredo Rivera lifted the Young Lions to another home draw, which is less good than a win, but more good than a loss. At least the prospects had the good sense to keep a clean sheet in the postgame penalty shootout, winning it 2-0 to claim the extra point. We discuss a team that isn’t quite as interesting this year, but is still hanging around the playoff line.
This week’s mailbagbox asks about Designated Player replacements, Orlando City trivia, and 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 at the trip to Tennessee to face Hany Mukhtar and Nashville SC. The team from Music City is battling for a playoff spot in 2024, thanks in part to goal contributions by Mukhtar and the improvement of Sam Surridge (who, now that I think about it, I might have called “Sturridge”). I hope I didn’t, but now I’m not sure. Sure, I could go back and listen to see if I did, but honestly, who has the time? We discuss the match on Wednesday with our preview, our key matchups, and our score predictions.
