Orlando City SC Discussion Thread

Going to the game tonight, really excited. Hope we get back on track

Hope it stops raining, currently pouring at my house, south of downtown.

Great win tonight. Kaka was amazing to watch

Glad the rain cleared out as fast as it came, but I was in a section where the two rows in front of me were completely flooded. They had a crew on it the whole match and couldn't drain it, haha.

First half we squandered some chances while I was quite thrilled that Tally bailed out St. Ledger. Sean made 3 critical mistakes throughout the match and thankfully Hall kept his clean sheet.

Hope Brek is okay. Hope Rivas is okay. Great cross by Carlos on the first goal.

Kaka looked like he did the first month or so of the season. Made some nice runs and his goal was wonderful. Tough angle to score from and he powered it home. Huge win.

Cup match on Tuesday here v. the Crew. Unfortunately, my coed soccer league is having playoffs that night so I'll be missing my first match of the year.

Huge win, we played pretty good link up play. This team has grown so much, hard to think that this is an expansion team.

[Nemesis21]

Great game, good to see our guys bounce back with a win, after the loss to Montreal. Kaka could have had a hat trick, some just didn't seem to find their way, but glad he got one in and Larin got one too. Good game from Tally!


Are we still in 3rd place?

We are, but we've played 3 more games that 4th place Toronto who trail us by 1 point. Good news is we've played 1 less game than 2nd NE so we'll likely remain in 3rd once everyone is caught up. I expect Toronto to end up in 2nd

Cool, thanks.

Did anybody go to the Mexico/Costa Rica game at the Citrus Bowl yesterday? I worked the game, holy hell was it hot out there. Us working the game were able to take multiple water breaks due to the heat, I saw a few fans and a co worker or two pass out due to heat exhaustion.

In a potential deal that could send shock waves throughout the soccer world, Orlando City Soccer Club of the MLS could possibly land international superstar striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez in the coming weeks, according to sources close to the negotiations.

WKMG-TV Local 6 sports director David Pingalore learned recently that there has been a "high level of discussions" between representatives for Chichario and management of Orlando City.

The Lions, who are in their first MLS season, are eager to add talent to their roster in hopes of not only making the playoffs, but potentially winning a title. Adding Chicharito -- one of the most talented and popular players in all of Europe -- would certainly bolster OCSC’s title hopes.

"There is a 65 to 70 percent chance of Orlando City signing him in the coming weeks," the source said.

Orlando City still trying to bring Chicharito! Wow!!!!

[MrShow]

Up 2-0 at halftime. Go City!

[Nemesis21]

Orlando City wins 2-0

Crew decided not to play their best lineup and we took a comfortable victory.

[J-Mezzy]

Chicharo would seriously help us make a deep run. I hope these rumors are true.

[Anti Chalmers]

Kaka will get a lot more assists.

What do you think are the chances Chicharito comes to Orlando?

[AdamTheGreek]

There are a few 'sources' that say Chicharito to OCSC is done. I'll believe when I see it.

There's also a Michu rumor developing.

[J-Mezzy]

I like our chances of getting Chicharo. He is a quality player, but there isn't much of a market for him in Europe. He might be too pricy for the mid table clubs and is not good enough to start for the top clubs, so he falls in an unfortunate spot for his career where he is too good for some, but not good enough for others. I think the MLS makes sense, he'll get paid, make good marketing money, and be a star.

I think he is coming, haven't heard of any rumors linking him to anyone in Europe.

[Optimus_Steel]

Well Chicharito broke his collarbone so they are speculating he will be out 4-6 weeks. I wonder if that changes anything for our front office?
