Orlando City B

It is time for another episode of the Mainland Podcast.

It's episode number 551, and I'm your host Michael Citro, the founder and managing editor of themainland.com, an independent website covering Orlando City SC, the Orlando Pride OCB, and all things soccer related in the city beautiful.

Uh, hopefully including the upcoming US Men's National Team game, which I, I haven't got my credentials, uh, confirmation for yet, but that's nothing new.

The, uh, US Soccer usually sends them at least four days in advance.

But it worked out.

Worked out very well for Harv.

So congratulations to Harvey Siraj on, on his first, uh, MLS goal, and he spoke after the game about how he's been grinding with OCB and, and how it prepared him for this moment.

And it was, it was a nice moment for the kid.

And, but it would be great for them to just be like, "We're gonna turn it up." But I, I'm just not expecting it.

How did this team get dropped four on Orlando City B? [laughs]

Yeah, a team-

Which is, it's just, which is hilarious 'cause Orl- I think Orlando has let in the most goals in the league, haven't they? Or, or near it?

And all for what? So one man can make some money for a very last time? I don't know, man.

I just thought Orlando City B looked so superior.

over Miami is shameful.

So, you know, like I said, while I'm happy to beat them every day, you know, in a way I'm sad that what's going on down there, that they really, they don't care for that.

All teams in purple for the city of Orlando got a W.

So kudos to OCB, which we're going to dive into talking about the thrashing.

They had a 4-1. against Inter Miami too.

And then we'll be discussing what's happening against M Bolo on Wednesday as the Lions head to Mercedes Benz Stadium to take on to Atlanta United.

I like his game a lot.

You read any of my stuff, you know how much I love Landon Okonski.

He is one of my favorite defenders with OCB, and he has been all season, ever since he started getting playing time.

I think if anything, I think they're going to bring Vets in.

He's not fit enough yet for that, but he'll get minutes for sure.

Now, before we go, we've got to talk about our boys down in Orlando City B.

So they're hitting the road for a massive regional showdown against Inter-Miami 2 down at not-so-beautiful-anymore Chase Stadium.

I mean, to be honest, I can say it now because they don't play there anymore.

So there is not a ton of leeway there and very easy for you to jump up the standings.

And here's the other thing, guys, that we really have to keep in mind.

This is the last away match for Orlando City B this season.

So once they go and... face Inter-Miami 2 away, which I'm really hoping they get a win.

You know, he's worked with high schools, like in education and Mount Verde Academy in Florida.

He worked for Orlando City B. He's been in Europe, in Belgium, at, I forget the club, Royal...

For Royal something.

Just make it up.

This episode number 459.

And I'm your host, Michael Citro, the founder and managing editor of TheMainland.com. And that is an independent website covering Orlando City, the Orlando Pride OCB, and all things soccer related in the city.

Beautiful.

And joining me from Tallahassee, Florida, my co-host.

That's it.

Then thanks for the mailbag box questions, everybody, and get them in for next week.

Dave, let's turn our attention towards the young lions of OCB.

All right.

We did have a little bit more football here in the Carolina soccer here in the Carolinas yesterday afternoon.

Crown Legacy were in action against Orlando City B.

Unfortunately, did not get the win.

Dropped this one 3-2.
