PawedCast Episode 466: Philadelphia Rewind, Toronto Preview, and More

Overall, Orlando City — as a team — played a decent game in its 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Union on Saturday. But there were some individual mistakes that...yeah, they were pretty awful and not what we've come to expect out of the Lions in the Oscar Pareja era. Prior to our breakdown of the Lions' breakdowns, we discuss the Orlando City news that came out on match day, including two short-term contract signings and a last-minute injury that took captain Robin Jansson out of the lineup. After that, we get into the nitty and also the gritty of Orlando's loss to Philadelphia on opening night. Perhaps the only memorable thing will be the start to Marco Pasalic's career in purple. The Croatian's brace was a welcome bright spot on an otherwise forgettable night. We also look back at our score predictions, which were well below the total of goals scored on Saturday The mailbagbox wants to know if we've changed our minds about our preseason thoughts after seeing the team play on Saturday and whether Dagur Dan Thorhallsson is ready for a move back to the midfield with the continued emergence of Alex Freeman.
