LOUD AND PROUD ORLANDO

It is officially win-or-go-home season at Inter&Co Stadium. Orlando City hosts bitter rivals Atlanta United in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, and there is zero room for error.

Look, let's keep it 100—the last week has been a disaster. Dropping back-to-back games to first-year expansion teams Boston Legacy FC and Denver Summit FC is flat-out unacceptable for a squad with this much talent.

What a night at Inter & Co Stadium! Orlando City just survived a 7-goal roller coaster against Philadelphia Union, and we're breaking down every heart-stopping moment of that 4-3 win. From Martín Ojeda's heroics to holding off the Union's late surge, the Lions finally showed some teeth!But it's not just about the pitch—the MLSPA 2026 salary data is OUT. We're looking at where Orlando City ranks in the payroll (HINT: 21st in the league at $10M). With teams like Miami and Atlanta spending triple that, is it time for ownership to open up their wallet?

What an absolute gut-punch at Stade Saputo.Orlando City looked poised to escape Canada with a hard-fought road point, only for a complete mental collapse in stoppage time to hand CF Montréal a 2-0 victory. To make it hurt ten times worse? The daggers were twisted by none other than our own former players.First, Luca Petrasso—whom we let walk—drew the controversial 94th-minute penalty that Daniel Ríos converted. Then, as if that wasn't painful enough, Dagur Dan Thórhallsson—traded away just last December for GAM—comes off the bench to smash an absolute stoppage-time golazo in the 98th minute to seal our doom.On this live episode of Loud and Proud Orlando, we are venting. How does this team beat Inter Miami one week, only to completely lose focus in the final four minutes of the next? We are talking Jansson's penalty, the lack of late-game concentration, and whether our past transfer business is officially coming back to haunt us.Grab a drink, get in the live chat, and let's scream about this one together.#OrlandoCity #MLS #CFMontréal #DagurDan #LucaPetrasso #StoppageTime #OrlandoCitySC #StadeSaputo
