    PawedCast Episode 538: OCB-Huntsville Rewind, World Cup, USMNT, and More
    Jun 16 2026
    Orlando City B is the lone team still playing through the World Cup and by golly we're going to reward them for that by talking about the Young Lions. This week, they took to the road to face Huntsville City in Alabama and brought all three points back with them after a 2-1 comeback win. For the second straight game, the Young Lions started the game a bit lethargically and fell behind. But OCB is nothing if not resilient. The team kicked it into gear in the second half and grabbed a hard-fought three points on the road. We discuss the match, including how Matthew Belgodere suddenly can't stop scoring and Parker Amoo-Mensah has earned his shiny new MLS NEXT Pro contract. After our OCB-Carolina Core rewind, we discussed the USMNT's 4-1 beatdown of Paraguay in the team's World Cup opener. Former Lion Alex Freeman was one of several players who shone brightly in the opener, which hopefully will provide some momentum going up against Australia this week. We discussed the unexpected joy of watching the U.S. playe like one of the world's soccer super powers, even if it was only one game. We also look ahead to Sunday's OCB match at home against Philadelphia Union II. Sunday's visitors don't score a lot, but they also don't concede many goals. If OCB can keep things rolling, it would be a big step toward getting a decent postseason seed, although there is a lot of soccer yet to be played. I was supposed to do the mailbagbox next but it's out of order. It's fine. You'll figure it out. Our mailbagbox is timely, asking about which Lion will ultimately finish their career with the most caps for their national team. Our vote was split.

Here’s how No. 538 went down: 0:15 – OCB won on the road despite a poor start, and the U.S. started and ended strong against South American competition. 24:02 – OCB is back at home Sunday, looking to add more points to its 2026 total. 29:04 – Our mailbagbox asks us to predict the future.

    PawedCast Episode 537: OCB-Carolina Core, USMNT-Germany, and More
    Jun 9 2026
    Orlando City is still off for the World Cup break, but OCB is not. We open this week's show with a little-longer-than-usual look at the Young Lions' 3-2 comeback win over Carolina Core FC on Sunday. It wasn't easy, and it certainly wasn't OCB's best performance of the year, but the job ultimately got done. We discuss the lethargic start, the red card/penalty that changed everything, and a second half that wasn't looking like it would be good enough until it ultimately was. After our OCB-Carolina Core rewind, we discussed the USMNT's 2-1 loss to Germany. The Yanks hung around, but this is a team that is supposed to be about more than hanging around. At some point, you must beat a good European team just to be taken seriously, never mind winning a World Cup. But hey, that was quite a goal by Antonee Robinson, wasn't it? Our mailbagbox is super full this week, asking us to wager (nothing) on a parlay, select Orlando City preferences, and pick the hardest shooter, among other things. 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 look ahead to Saturday's OCB match on the road at Huntsville City. The Nashville affiliate poses some challenges, and the teams look to be evenly matched. Can the Young Lions stop bleeding goals while continuing to score them? We'll see. Be sure to rate and review our show wherever you get your podcasts.

Here’s how No. 537 went down: 0:15 – OCB got three points that might not have been earned against a full-strength squad, and the USMNT continues to have a defense prone to breakage as World Cup matches loom. 25:34 – Our mailbagbox is all over the map...including the greater Seattle area. 49:26 – OCB won but should still try to bounce back from a bit of a lethargic performance for most of its win on Sunday when it travels to Huntsville.

    PawedCast Episode 536: USMNT-Senegal, OCB-Chattanooga, and More
    Jun 2 2026
    With Orlando City off until mid-July, we start this week's show with a brief discussion of the United States Men's National Team's friendly win over Senegal on Sunday. Former Lion Alex Freeman continues to impress at the international level, and the U.S. was able to hang with a good African side despite blowing a lead and changing most of the squad at halftime. It may not mean much for the World Cup, but it's good to see the USMNT playing tough against good sides from around the world. Germany is up next. We then turned our attention toward OCB's win over Chattanooga at home on Sunday. The Young Lions threw away their early lead before halftime, but then they sprung to life in the second half and dominated the second half, scoring four unanswered goals to win 5-2. We break down OCB's win, which sprung the team toward the top of the Eastern Conference table. Our mailbagbox asked us which OCB players might play well enough to earn first-team minutes after the World Cup break. 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 prepare for OCB's upcoming match with Carolina Core FC. The Young Lions have a chance to keep things rolling against one of the teams low in the Eastern Conference. We discuss where the teams are relative to one another in the table and which players OCB will need to keep tabs on. Be sure to rate and review our show wherever you get your podcasts.

Here’s how No. 536 went down: 0:15 – The USMNT picked up an impressive win over Senegal and OCB continues to score goals, hanging five on Chattanooga on Sunday. 17:50 – Our mailbagbox takes an interest in the Young Lions. 26:11 – OCB welcomes Carolina Core to Kissimmee on Sunday.
