In our first show back from our holiday hiatus we have to make due without our “Soccer Sherpa”, Simon Veness. Fortunately, there are plenty of off-season stories for Orlando City for Doc to discuss with Lord Commander of the UCF Knight’s Watch, Charles. They also take some time to continue to stump for City to select UCF’s Cal Jennings in the MLS SuperDraft on Thursday.



On paper, the Lions look like they have improved on defense and in the midfield, but we are left to wonder what is happening on the attack, as the only promising rumor on that front has been German Cano, who chose to play in Brazil. Plus, is Rowe good enough to lead a playoff team between the pipes?

Plus, we get a delicious bonus story with news that Justin Meram’s contract has not been picked up by Atlanta United. He took a veiled shot at Orlando in his good-bye Tweet, which was a great reminder of why he became so hated here. He will not be missed.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/21422223Tue, 07 Jan 2020 02:18:38 +0000FM 96.9 The Game (WYGM-AM)Happy New Year! The home opener is less than eight weeks away!

Our “Soccer Sherpa”, Simon Veness, was on top secret assignment this week, but was able to put together a Four Minute Monologue that boils down an incredible week of soccer into one tasty morsel.

In addition to the US bringing home another World Cup title, Orlando City had two matches against the Philadelphia Union (one of which we do not need to speak of again), the US Men’s National Team came up just short in the Gold Cup final and the Orlando Pride get a much-needed victory before their nine (yes, nine) World Cup players return to Orlando.]]>2537city,club,cup,gold,lions,mens,mexico,national,open,orlando,philadelphia,soccer,states,team,union,united,usmnt,uswnt,womens,worldfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/it-s-a-soccer-smorgasbord-this-week--18436986

We also discuss the US Open Cup quarterfinals match coming up next week at Orlando City Stadium.

That’s not all!
