PawedCast Episode 110: Jason Kreis Interview, Off-Season Talk, MLS Cup and More

Well, we’re a few weeks into the off-season now and there’s plenty to talk about. First up, we recap Orlando City’s friendly match vs. Puerto Rico, where Kaká played his last game as a Lion and we were hit with the feels all night, as well as goals from purple team. We’re also discussing the club’s roster moves and how right and wrong we were about them on our last show, as well as Alex Morgan and the USWNT against Canada, and Rachel Hill’s success with Perth Glory in the W-League during the Pride’s off-season.

Then Jason Kreis joins us for a discussion about how 2017 went and what we can expect from this off-season as well as the 2018 iteration of the Lions. Jason was gracious with his time and had plenty to say on a variety of topics, including the direction of the team.

We also talked about the NASL and USL championships and how they’re both tied to the city of Orlando. Plus, USMNT’s friendly at Portugal, a potential international tournament in the U.S. in 2018, and our predictions for the MLS Cup.

Nobody asked us any questions, but if there’s something you want us to address on our next show, just tweet it to us @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC.
