Well, it’s still early days of course but we wouldn’t be football supporters if we weren’t daring to dream about what 2016 might hold after a fantastic morale boosting 4-1 victory over reigning MLS Cup champions Portland Timbers yesterday evening at the Citrus Bowl. Continue reading
Time for a new feature here at Orlando City UK and we’re calling it “Whatever Happened To?”.
Functioning as a reflection on some of the players who simply didn’t hit it off as Lions for whatever reason, we place the spotlight on what they did (or rather didn’t do) in an Orlando City SC jersey while providing an update on what they can be found doing nowadays.

Although Orlando City SC have existed for what seems like a little while now after being established in 2010, in the grand scheme of things, we are still an incredibly new franchise on a global scale.

So all of a sudden, Orlando City SC’s two opening home games of the 2016 Major League Soccer season are now over with an accumulation of two points from a possible six.
Drawing 1-1 with last season’s Eastern Conference whipping boys Chicago Fire at the Citrus Bowl, it was a tale of frustration for Adrian Heath‘s Lions who couldn’t find a winner despite playing against 10-men for round about an hour after Michael Harrington’s first-half dismissal. Continue reading

Despite beating New York Red Bulls 3-2 yesterday, Orlando City SC head coach Adrian Heath was far from pleased with his teams’ performance in the friendly win at ChampionsGate Sports Complex.
While the Lions managed to grab a victory right off the back of a 2-1 pre-season defeat upstate at Florida rivals Jacksonville Armada last Saturday, it was the manner of City’s win that didn’t sit well with Heath, as reported by the Orlando Sentinel. Continue reading

Whether we like it or not (well, we hate it!), Jacksonville Armada are now officially the first team from Florida to have inflicted defeat on Orlando City SC.
Yesterday evening, the NASL outfit completed a rousing second half comeback following Kaká‘s 32nd minute opener in an eventual 2-1 win that marked the Lions’ second friendly fixture of pre-season. Continue reading
