Orlando City SC Discussion Thread

Thanks Ozzy for the link about getting the English audio feed. It also looks like there is a link in that article for a stream of the game on UniMas' website that you can access if you have Brighthouse or most other cable providers. That too has an English audio option. I think I'll watch the game that way so I can also watch the Magic game on tv as well.

Great shot by Rivas, just off target.

[orlando1214]

Wow what a shot by Kaka and an amazing save!

Yeah that was amazing on both sides.

Kaka is so dangerous when he gets a free kick.

[T-DOT KEEZY]

Not playing with much pressure up front. Glad Rivas was subbed out. His conditioning looks off. Minimal effort other than the one rip.

[orlando1214]

Orlando GOAL!!!! Wow crazy play! That goalkeeper has played a fantastic game so far and just made a dumb play

[orlando1214]

Orlando City wins 1-0! First road victory ever.

So is the goal tender allowed to just beat the **** out of a potential scorer. That was pretty brutal horseplay, cool goal.

[J-Mezzy]

Damn, missed the game. Glad we got the W. How did the team look?

[J-Mezzy]

Just saw the goal, lmao. I'll take the win any way it comes. Undefeated so far

Yeah tried to punch the ball, push the striker into the post and then literally sit on him. That's the plan.....lol

Nice fk attempt by Kaka, Rivas had a good crack at goal as well. We dominated and am happy to get the 3 pt's by any means necessary

I have a feeling with this team the whole city will get behind them 100%. You know, the NBA is all about star power and bandwagon fans, Orlando being a melting pot it makes it difficult for the true Magic fans at live games, we all know of how annoying it is to have half of the arena cheering for the visiting team. I'm definitely excited about the Lions! Definitely not renouncing my 18+ years of bleeding blue and white but I'm pretty pumped about the OCL!

Same brother. Orlando is going to do great! We are a perfect market. International, families, young professionals, and no other pro team.

Are there and1's in soccer?

Lol no, but there is the advantage rule.

There was a lot of purple downtown last night, and the vast majority had no interest in the Magic game.

Kaka has looked good these past few matches. All about staying healthy and building that chemistry.

Any road win is a good one. Houston's goalie was having a great match and then he had that glorious ****. Great pressure by Ribeiro.

Ricketts worries me. He hasn't had to do much the first two matches, but his timing and decision making worry me.

Gotta be honest and say I'm a new fan of the team. However, being forced to watch the game in Spanish is a bit of an issue (SAP didn't work). OCS has a perfect storm brewing to building the fan base with the Magic being pathetic and it's not college football season.

It's beautiful to see an expansion come out two times and be the better side out the bag. Kaka has been great. Molina has some definite quality. Ricketts scares me as well. I think we need to pick up a clinical striker during the season if we can. This houston game we could have easily won 2 or 3 nil. But I am excited where MLS is going. European players want to live in America and it is not just the older ones. If you can resurrect your brand and leave a Parma, a Lazio, a Bolton, etc. and kill it in the US as a star why wouldn't you particularly if you don't have the talent to play on a upper echelon side. I suspect richer owners are going to buy MLS teams and through more money at rosters in the next 10 years. To me MLS now is where NBA was in terms of funding in the late 70s. The money is going to heart explosive at some point around ad revenue especially if Giovinco caliber players start hitting our shores in number.

I also think the league is going to grow into something special. I don't see why we can't compete with the likes of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina leagues. I knot soccer is a passion there compared to here, but we can still gain a huge market. There's money to be made, just gotra be smart in recruiting and scouting.
