Orlando City SC Discussion Thread

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?

I think it would be foolish not to sign him, we have to think long term. If we can secure a multi year contract, I would sign him even if he misses most of this season. Actually, the season runs through October so signing him seems like an easy decision for me.

Well he can rest his legs while he heals lol. Tremendous get for us, sounds like it's pretty much a done deal.

What horrible red on Kaka. Wtf was that, it was a yellow not red. What a jackass referee.

On Copa America forums, these are the rumored cities to host Copa America 2016:
Palo Alto, Seattle, East Rutherford, Pasadena, Houston and Orlando.

Hopefully this happens and we do host some games, it would be huge for the sport in Orlando.

That would be awesome.

How's the stadium coming along?

Hosting U.S, Mexico, Colombia, or Brazil would be tremendous

Saturday's game is the first game I'll be attending the game strictly as a fan, not as a fan who is also an employee. First time in 3 yrs, I'll be able to drink a beer while in attendance.

We need this win, hopefully your first game as a fan results in a win.

[MrShow]

Big game tonight. I have a good feeling though. Go City!

[Nemesis21]

Tough game

Was fun to get to drink a beer, and sit in the Dex Imaging suite!

What an awfully officiated match.

Dallas didn't deserve that penalty, player was going down way before anyone came close to touching him.

Pedro's goal should have counted. The side judge that called the offsides actually looked up at the jumbotron and gave 'awww ****' expression. Dude screwed up.

With that said, we didn't look good. At times our team was given a lot of space to push forward and they looked lost and timid. We really needed one of Kaka or Brek.

I knew Rivas would boot the penalty over the cross bar.

Crowd was just over 30,000 even with the rainstorm that came through before the match.

Boden didn't deserve his first yellow, and then out of frustration he picked up the second at the end. Now we don't have an LB for next Saturday against the Red Bulls.

West Brom friendly should be intriguing on Wednesday.

[J-Mezzy]

We were missing 3 of our best players, tough to overcome that and poor officiating. Hope this Gold Cup ends soon, hate missing players

Where the hell is Chicharo?

[vagnermagic]

A lot of rumors here in Brazil saying that Paulo Henrique Ganso may be going to Orlando.

He played with Kaka in São Paulo last year.

He isn't very athletic, but technicaly speaking, he's one of the best midfielders in Brazil nowadays. Reads the game really well and can make that last pass.

I think it'd be great for Orlando to have him, since he isn't in the best of environments in São Paulo right now.

[AdamTheGreek]

We gave a big offer for Chicharito and it's just not enough. He should stay in Europe.

Ashe is a nice pick-up. Fantastic timing too as he'll start Saturday with Boden out with his red and Shea recovering from his sports hernia surgery.

Outstanding 3-1 friendly victory over West Brom.

We played like **** the entire first half, and then Kaka finally took that open space in the middle and just ran past everyone. Huge goal to tie it up going into half.

The goal Ricketts gave up was so weak. I'm pissed at him still. Earl was infinitely better in the second half.

Estrela was my Man of the Match. Kid really needs more minutes moving forward.
Rochez, Redding, Donovan, Turner all played very well and helped their causes.

I know West Brom just started their preseason, but it was nice to frustrate Fletcher, Lescott, and Anichibe.

Rivas needed that free kick goal. Fantastic placement.

[Nemesis21]

Horrible officiating in this first half, 2 hand balls by NY Red Bulls let go by refs. And a ridiculous red card on Larin, it wasn't even yellow card worthy.

[Nemesis21]

1-0 Red Bulls at the half, Orlando has been playing with 10 men since Larin's red card, about at the 35 minute mark.

[Nemesis21]

Red Bulls win 2-0. Some pretty damn horrible officiating in that one. Larin(red card) and Higuita(5th yellow of the season)are suspended for the next game. Coach Heath ejected in the 75th minute.

[AdamTheGreek]

That red card is one of the worst calls I've seen in a while. For **** sake.

We got robbed and I hope this doesn't bite us in the ass moving forward.

We were by far the better team tonight, even down a man.

Ashe looked great. Solid addition.
