We’re totally getting used to all this winning. Orlando City made it three in a row and five of the first six by going up to Yankee Stadium and beating David Villa and company, 2-1. We are here to dissect that game and give you our Man of the Match picks. We also discussed the Pride’s 1-1 draw vs. Washington Spirit (#MartaWatch), and OCB’s 2-0 win at Bethlehem Steel FC. But the big reason you’re here this week is our exclusive interview with Giles Barnes. The Jamaican international has been a dogged defender and a welcome addition to the attack since joining Orlando City from Vancouver Whitecaps just prior to the season. Giles talks about how the Lions have gone from being a team to a family and how hungry all the guys are this year. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t try to play soothsayer and give you our picks for the key match-ups and final score of OCSC’s upcoming match-up against the Colorado Rapids. The magic happened as such: 0:12- Cyle Larin continues to clobber New York teams, Joe Bendik dazzles with his late stop, OCSC player salaries, Marta debuts, Earl Edwards Jr. might be a mutant (in a good way), and much more. 25:16- Giles Barnes climbs aboard our little starship and we’re headed for the skies as we discuss Orlando City Stadium, staying hungry, playing for Jason Kreis and his teammates, getting Kaká back soon, and what to expect against the Rapids. 38:51- Our key match-ups and score predictions for the visiting Tim Howard-less Rapids of Colorado. Stop by next week as we recap the Colorado match and look ahead to the road trip to Houston. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Orlando City opened the season in style, defeating fellow 2015 MLS expansion club New York City FC in the cozy confines of the club’s gorgeous new Purple Palace. We’re here to talk about the game in great detail, from the job Joe Bendik did in goal, to the new-look back line — with a midfielder at right back, no less — to newcomer Giles Barnes’ perfectly placed back-post cross, to Cyle Larin’s beautiful header, to Kaká’s injury, and more. But before all that, we gush at length about the stadium itself and I give a full report of my view and experience in the safe standing section where The Wall lives, breathes, and pulsates throughout the game. We also discussed the captain’s hamstring ouchie and how the club will fare without No. 10 for at least the next six weeks. And hey, the Orlando Pride start their preseason in just a few days. We’re pleased to bring you our interview with Pride forward Sarah Hagen, who enters her second season with the club. Sarah was gracious with her time, talking about everything from the new stadium, the Kids vs. Pros exhibition, NWSL players leaving to play in Europe, the upcoming Pride season, and more. And we look ahead to the New England Revolution this Saturday, with our key match-ups and final score predictions, which are identical and probably quite wrong. Here’s the show rundown: 0:11- That. Stadium. We’ve got nothing but good things to say about Orlando City Stadium, plus a glorious opening day and why I never thought New York City would score. 41:26- Sarah Hagen stops by and talks about her off-season, the upcoming Pride campaign, having teammate Alex Morgan start the season in France, and several other topics. 55:18- Our key match-ups and score predictions for Saturday’s battle in the cold against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium.

It's game week! And it's our first PawedCast episode of the 2017 MLS season, as we prepare you for Orlando City's Opening Day showdown with New York City FC in the Lions' new downtown stadium. Spoiler alert: we're pretty pumped up about the game. First up, we talk about Orlando City's final preseason tune-up against Saint Louis FC. The Lions christened their new home with a 3-1 win and we touch on that before telling you why the club has gone paperless with the new LionNation app. You don't have to be a member of LionNation to utilize the app, but you will need to use it at some point if you plan on buying Orlando City tickets. We also discussed the big trade this week with Orlando sending Brek Shea way out northwest to Vancouver in exchange for Giles Barnes.  Following that, we've got an exclusive interview with Orlando City midfielder Pierre Da Silva, who had an outstanding first professional season with OCB last year. Now he's on an MLS contract and he could see first-team action in 2017. Pierre was nice enough to talk to us about what his goals are for 2017, signing his MLS deal, playing in the U.S. youth setup, which players he models his game after, and much more. Finally, it's time once again for our key match-ups and laughably inaccurate score predictions for Sunday's match.  Here's how the show went down: 0:11- Orlando City sunk Saint Louis as Kaká once again scored a historic goal for the club. The LionNation app is good for security and for not killing trees. And lots about the Shea-Barnes deal. 32:41- Pierre Da Silva jumps on and tells us if he thinks he's American, Peruvian, or Brazilian. Also, which players have taken him under their wing, and more from the 18-year-old future star. 43:36- Prediction time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, if you've had a disappointing season, at least end it with a bang and send the fans home happy. And that's just what Vancouver Whitecaps did with their 4-1 demolition of their bitter rivals, Portland Timbers. We're joined by Harjeet Johal to look back over the game, pondering, as everyone else is at the moment, just where that team has been all years and looking at the performances that got the job done. Giles Barnes, Pedro Morales, and a whole load more players are all up for discussion as we look back at the year that was and what the Whitecaps need to do this offseason to be in a different position in 12 months time. We ponder signings, salaries, the future of Carl Robinson if he can't turn things around, and a lot more besides. We also bring you some postgame audio from Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson, Portland Timbers coach Caleb Porter, and Timbers striker Fanendo Adi, who coincidentally falls to the ground in games like a felled tree. There's a lot of talk to be had, so have a listen.

Another summer, another slumping Whitecaps. I guess it's good to have something stable in life, right? It's not been a good few week for Vancouver, who are now winless in their last five matches, losing their last three. We look back at the most recent defeat, Friday night's loss to San Jose, and ponder just where the woeful Whitecaps go from here. What's gone wrong this year and just what has happened to last year's strongest performers and the team's DP's? What changes need to be made to the team and tactics ahead of next week's trip to KC, and is too late to save their season or is there still some hope hidden amongst the despair? We also hear from the latest 'Caps signing, forward Giles Barnes about what he hopes to bring to the team. We just haven't seen it quite yet. And with the next Champions League game coming up soon, we finish on a positive note as we chat with two guys who did well in the first CCL game in Trinidad and are both pushing hard for MLS contracts, defender Brett Levis and goalkeeper Spencer Richey. There's a lot of talk to be had, so have a listen.

Full CCL group previews for both the Whitecaps and Timbers headline Ep. 86, and the crew also take some time to discuss the small matter of the coaching change in Seattle. In a massive double-length episode no stone is left unturned as the transfer window closes and a busy August begins!  Playlist: 0:00:00 - Whitecaps: Where should Giles Barnes play?   0:34:00 - Sounders: Sigi, Schmetzer, Lodeiro & whatnot; Are Seattle still planning on making the playoffs?  1:06:00 - Timbers: Transfers, transfers, transfers! Now say the new LB's name three times fast; All-Star ridicule; Which Cascadia club won the transfer window? 

The ETR crew stays on the road to bring you a packed show with all the trades, debuts, and more from a wild MLS weekend. David hosting from the "Octagon's" floor with Matt break down the Giles Barnes move to Vancouver, Kennedy Igboananike's trade to DC United, Nicolas Lodeiro's debut, and so much more.   In the second segment BWP makes history for the Red Bulls, RSL finally gets a win, and Jozy/Gio are back. In exciting news CCL is back with four midweek matches for MLS clubs and is Julian Green on his way to a Ballon D'or?   In the mailbag David uses some fan assistance to reveal the truth about "Dench." The guys also discuss a potential All-Star tournament and the truth about what makes a true hat trick.

The regular season is finally over and Vancouver Whitecaps have finished second in the West and third overall in MLS. Not bad, but all the focus is now on what they can do in the playoffs. We're joined by Harjeet Johal to look back on the 'Caps 3-0 win over Houston and what we can take from it going forward in terms of form, momentum and injuries. We hear from both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and Houston's Owen Coyle, with the latter making a bold guarantee to AFTN listeners. We also catch up with goalscorer Robert Earnshaw to talk about his super quick goal after coming on as sub, his season in Vancouver so far, how he feels the 'Caps will fare in the postseason and his overall thoughts on the playoffs. Then we head into the Houston locker room to get some very honest end of season thoughts from Giles Barnes and possible Vancouver target, Will Bruin. And there's still time to look ahead to the MLS playoffs. Who will get through the first round? Who with the Whitecaps face? And who will win the whole shebang? Have a listen!
