PawedCast Episode 447: Crew Rewind, OCB-Chicago, FC Dallas Preview, and More

Orlando City’s shutout streak and winning streak are over after a wild game in Columbus that was really hard to watch for a while but then it got better, although not better enough. The Lions managed to put three goals on the board against the league’s best defense but could not string together a fourth straight shutout, conceding four of their own, and they were pretty much all preventable. We break down a road loss against the defending champions.

We also looked back at our score predictions, which were quite wrong, and made our selections for Man of the Match.

This episode’s mailbagbox had a trivia question and then asked for our recipe ideas using a very odd special ingredient. 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 broke down OCB’s playoff-clinching home win over Chicago Fire II at home on Monday night, which is why this podcast is a day later than usual. The Young Lions came up big in the second half, putting three balls in the net to take care of Chicago and solidify a spot in the postseason. The Young Lions have the weekend off to prepare for next week’s regular-season finale at Cincinnati.

Finally, we looked ahead to Saturday night’s road match against Oscar Pareja’s former team. FC Dallas is pretty good for a team currently below the playoff line, and it won’t be easy for Orlando City to get a result in Frisco, TX. It’s something the Lions have never done. We provide our key matchups and score predictions.
