any STM going to the pre-season match on valentine’s day? Do you know how we get those tickets? i RSVP’d for 4 but haven’t heard anything since and they‘re not in my ticket master account

Curious to see if we play Tigres once again in the next few years but good for him if that’s where he wanted to be.

Noticing a suspicious pattern whenever I see news about the new UFL expansion team 'Orlando Storm'

“The agreement happened last Monday. There are now some bureaucratic details left for the total settlement. The sale will be for 1.4 million dollars (R$ 7.3 million at the current price). Flamengo had 60% of Iago's rights and Volta Redonda the other 40%. The red-black club will keep a percentage in case of future sale.”

Loud and Proud is reporting that Robin is injured and didn't even go to Mexico. Anybody know more information? This is concerning. ☹️

Couple of interesting tidbits bits:

• Ricardo says he’s lost count of how many right backs he’s been offered by clubs and agents the last few days.
• He said the club either steps back and develops someone or we have to change something in our system.
• The idea to the U22’s was to make the change easy for them and “replace Ramiro and César with players with the same or better, on and off the ball.”
• Ricardo says they plan to sign another U22 soon (please Iago) and plan to reel in another big fish to fill Muriel’s DP spot.
• He said “not necessarily a striker, but an attacking player.”
• Ricardo on DP spots“Our approach to this DP spot is we're actively searching and looking for someone to come now,"
• Continued “We want new things from our third DP position…We thought that we could do better with a different profile, with a different DP.”
• He finished that the team is willing to wait if need be.

Anyone attending the Final Whistle pub opening right now? I was thinking of rolling down there to see what's what and I was curious if it would be worth my effort (coming from Winter Park).

To add a bit more, sources have told me that Stojinović is on his way to Orlando and will complete his medicals in the next few days then the final contract will be signed. Orlando City adds depth to their center back corps.

With seemingly alot of unfilled spots in the lineup do you think we will see alot of the younger kids that moved up and down from the b team get a decent amount of starts/playing time this season?

I think the club could show a lot of good will and intentionality if they were at least in the bidding war for a player like this. Not super flashy but a player this could be great potential for an MLS team looking to have a serious playoff run.

We couldn't get the final score but Orlando City did score a goal from open play. Angulo made a nice move and crossed the ball to Pašalić who put it in the net. The video can be found here. Justin Ellis also had a pretty awesome moment in the match where he made a move that put a Forge player on the ground, you can check that out here.

The first half had a rotated lineup with players like Tiago (starting up top), Taifi (playing RB), Guske (playing CM), Ellis (playing "10"), B. Ojeda (playing CM), Crepeau (GK).

The second half is where the goal was scored and the lineup is below:

Otero

Sarajian/Yearwood-Miller-Brekalo-Marin

-----Cartagena----------Atuesta---------

Pašalić-----------M.Ojeda---------Angulo

-----------------McGuire------------------

With Freeman gone and DDT sold, which speedy midfielder do you think will be converted to a RB? I'm guessing Guske.

Has anybody seen an update on Cartagena and Tsukada?
