PawedCast 491: New York City FC Rewind, New England Preview, and More

Orlando City wasn't content to throw away two points on Saturday. The Lions threw away all three on Wednesday just for funsies. Leading in the 87th minute — by just one goal on more than 20 shot attempts — the Lions did New York City FC a solid and scored a goal for them. Not content with a draw, Orlando City then gave up a 2-on-nobody break off its own corner kick opportunity four minutes later, lighting three points on fire and flushing them down the toilet. Did we find the game irritating? Annoying? Depressing? Maddening? Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Still, we look back at our score predictions, discuss the important moments of the game, and make our selections for Man of the Match. The mailbagbox has more questions about bread (for some reason), and asks us about serving in the military, strengthening weak feet, 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. Following the mailbagbox segment, we remind you that OCB is on the road at New England on Sunday. Finally, we previewed the Lions at the Revolution Saturday at Gillette Stadium — Orlando's historic house of horrors — breaking down the history of the series, checking out the teams' relative spots in the standings, providing our key matchups, and making our score predictions.

Here’s how No. 491 went down: 0:15 – The Lions dominated, led the game late, and still managed to lose at home. 22:16– The mailbagbox has even more bread questions, and it's a good thing we don't have gluten allergies. 43:52 - Orlando City has to visit New England because the teams are in the same conference and that's how it works. But we would rather...not. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
