PawedCast Episode 531: Revs and Miami Rewinds, Montreal Preview, OCB-Crown Legacy, and More
The Lions get two high-scoring road wins and will head to Montreal next, and OCB continues to have wacky finishes.
Orlando City entered last week after blowing a late road lead at D.C. United. The Lions continued to play away from home but instead of blowing leads, they decided to go the other way. Orlando came back from three deficits to beat the New England Revolution 4-3 in the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday and then fell behind 3-0 at Inter Miami before rallying for another 4-3 win. It will never not be a delight that the Lions became the first team to win at Nu Stadium!
We discuss both wins, which were exciting for different reasons. We look back at our score predictions for the Miami match and make our selections for Man of the Match from both contests. It’s nice to see the Lions scoring goals again, even if they are still conceding too many.
A win over Inter Miami comes with awards! Martin Ojeda won Player of the Matchday and was named to the Team of the Matchday starting XI after his hat trick Saturday. Tyrese Spicer made the TotM bench and Martin Perelman was named coach.
Our mailbagbox went deep this week. Questions galore! We were asked about Antoine Griezmann, 2025 Orlando City vs. 2026 Wrexham, if the Lions will keep a clean sheet in MLS this year, 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.
After the mailbagbox, we looked back at OCB’s latest crazy finish and the Young Lions’ first shootout loss of the season. They had plenty of chances to not fall behind 2-0 at home, but where’s the fun in that? OCB rallied for a draw but couldn’t snap up the second point in the shootout. Next up is a trip to play Atlanta United 2 on Sunday.
Finally, we looked ahead to Orlando City’s road game at Montreal on Saturday afternoon. The Lions will be looking for a season sweep, but Montreal has looked better in its home games in recent weeks and Prince Owusu likes to score against Orlando City. The Lions will need to be better defensively to continue their road success. We look at the series history, provide our key matchups for the game, and make our predictions for the final score.
