The Orlando Pride loved setting all those records last year so much that they decided to add some more in Friday night's 6-0 drubbing of the Chicago Stars. Orlando's six goals and six-goal win tied club marks and set new league records for setting an opponent on fire on opening day. Haley McCutcheon decided she liked being the first Pride player to score a goal in playoff games, so she brought that into the regular season and scored Orlando's fastest goal from the start of a new season just seven minutes in. The Pride seized complete control before halftime, found some breathing room just after the restart, and then unleashed Barbra Banda on an unsuspecting Stars back line which...maybe should have suspected.We looked back at our meager predictions of winning by two and scoff at their naivete as we broke down the match and made our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox came with visuals we don't think our listeners can see (so we describe them). It also asks about focusing the early attack through McCutcheon, the Pride's attendance so far, Morgan Gautrat having to face her husband's team this year, and predictions for Banda's goal contributions in 2025. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.Finally, we looked ahead to the Pride's trip to Gotham FC on Sunday and whether Orlando can exact revenge for one of only two losses in 2024. The Pride will need to break down a good defense and beat a top-notch goalkeeper in addition to holding some excellent attacking players at bay. We break down the history, provide our key matchups, and try to predict the final score.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 78 went down:0:15 – The Pride played the Chicago Stars as if they were punishing them for their terrible rebrand.19:00 – The mailbagbox is feisty this week.39:15 – Our look ahead at the Pride's trip to Gotham with revenge on their minds.

Calling adults of all ages and anyone who wants to make the world a better place: Celebrate the release of the young adult adaptation of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's memoir, True Gretch: Lessons for Anyone Who Wants to Make a Difference. In conversation with Emily Tisch Sussman, founder and host of the award-winning iHeart podcast “She Pivots” and co-owner of Gotham FC. This program was held on February 23, 2025.

The Bats took flight across the regular season, but were felled in penalties to Washington in the NWSL playoffs. Then the rumors of behind-the-scenes discord kicked up. Then a dozen players departed. Amid all of this upheaval, do they still have the goods to be one of the best teams in the league? Jenna Tonelli of Sports Illustrated dropped by to pitch herself as Gotham's goalie, with Evan as the no. 9 in a pinch.  Join our Patreon for only $6/month ($60/year) to get all of our exclusive bonus content!
