PawedCast Episode 527: Crew Rewind, USOC and Houston Previews, OCB, and More
Episode 527
Monday, 13 April, 2026
The Lions finished off their three-game road trip, and while the 1-1 draw against the Crew in Columbus wasn't a rousing success, it was light years ahead of the 5-0 loss at Nahsville and the 6-0 loss at LAFC. Returning players made a big difference and scoring the first goal was helpful as well, allowing the Lions to stop some of the bleeding and earn their first road point. We look back at the key players and moments in the match, check back on our score predictions, and make our selections for Man of the Match. Our mailbagbox was loaded up with questions about Ricardo Moriera, Orlando City's roster needs, a Freaky Friday-type life swap situation, and much 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. After the mailbagbox, we touched on OCB's 3-1 loss at Chattanooga FC and looked ahead to the Young Lions' matchup Sunday against Carolina Core. Finally, we looked ahead to a pair of upcoming Orlando City games this week. The Lions will play USL League One opponent FC Naples on the road Wednesday to start their 2026 U.S. Open Cup run. We're not going to pretend to know a lot about the club, but it is currently first in the table and it's both a winnable and loseable game. The second match takes place Saturday at home, when the Houston Dynamo visit. We look back at the series history, check out how the two sides measure up in the league, discuss our key matchups for the game, and make our predictions for the final score.
