It is mid-July, in the dog days of summer, and things are still heating up in the Southeast. On the soccer field, of course. With sights set on Friday’s showdown in downtown Orlando, the teams’ second meeting is right around the corner. When the smoke clears at the end of July, we will see which club has the upper hand.

Friday Night Soccer


Orlando City Stadium. Friday night. Enough said.



Playoff Implications


One point separates Orlando City from Atlanta United in the Eastern Conference standings. There is still plenty of soccer to be played in this year’s MLS season, however, it becomes even more critical to win inter-conference matches during the second half of the season.       


It’s Been Too Long


Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Two weeks have gone by since Orlando City Stadium last saw the Lions in action; the team is ready, fans are ready, and the stage is set for another memorable night of soccer in downtown Orlando.
