PawedCast Episode 42: New York City FC Recap, Tony Rocha Interview & More

The international break is here but just because Orlando City is off this week, that doesn't mean that we are. We've got Orlando City B's 2016 season opener Saturday night out in Melbourne, Orlando Pride preseason and the addition of Brazilian forward/attacking midfielder Julio Baptista to discuss this week. 

Plus, here to talk to us about Orlando City B's inaugural USL match this weekend is OCB midfielder Tony Rocha. Tony was kind enough to drop in and talk about playing with the senior team in preseason, what he expects from Saturday and the entire 2016 season, and being part of the Orlando City organization. 

We also break down the 1-0 win Friday night over New York City FC, including our Man of the Match selections, where we all selected a different player. We also discussed what Baptista's signing brings to the club and how the team is deeper this season. Plus, the Pride is two games into its preseason and Alex Morgan is still really good at soccer. 

After our talk with Tony Rocha, we've got our blind faith predictions on Saturday night's match-up between OCB and the Wilmington Hammerheads.

Here's how the show went:

0:10- The PawedCast staff recaps Orlando City's first win of the season over NYCFC. Plus we've got takes on Baptista, the Pride and OCB.

30:00- Tony Rocha, midfielder extraordinaire from OCB joins the call and tells us about life with the reserve squad, staying hungry for MLS, the excitement surrounding the season opener and more.

43:09- Just because the Lions aren't playing doesn't mean we don't have our horrible predictions segment. Oh we've got takes on OCB vs. Wilmington!

And that's it for this week's show. We'll be back to preview the Portland Timbers.
