Podcast appearances and mentions of Orlando Pride

The URFC crew is back together to catch up on all things Utah Royals! We recap the 3-1 home loss to the Orlando Pride, or Barbra Banda herself, who bagged a hat trick in just the first half. Brecken Mozingo now has two goals in two games and is finding form on the wing, but the Royals continue to struggle, currently sitting in 13th place. We share the gutting news of Alex Loera's ACL tear, her second in just 12 months, and wish Alex a smooth and healthy recovery. Plus, we highlight the nine Royals players representing their countries across both youth and senior national teams. Be sure to follow us on social media for the full schedule, so you'll know exactly when to tune in and catch your Royals in action on international duty.  Support Royal Riot by engaging with our RSL and URFC coverage, thanks to our presenting partner ABC4Utah. We'll see you after the break! 

The Orlando Pride stopped their skid with a 3-1 win at Utah, but it was far from a crisp performance, even if they outplayed the Royals in the first half. The second half was about managing things and fighting the effects of the altitude, but there wasn't much to say about it other than it took place and no more goals were scored. Friday's performance was a step in the right direction entering the international break, but more must be done to prepare for tougher games ahead.Barbra Banda scored the first hat trick in club history to lead the way, and the only other true threat to the goal was Ally Watt — off the rebound of a saved Banda shot. The offense still needs some work, and not all defenses will allow Banda the acres of space the Royals provided for the star striker to run into. Still, it was a win by multiple goals on the road, and that's always a good thing.We break down Orlando's win on Friday in Utah, look back at our surprisingly accurate (for one of us) score predictions, and make our selections for Player of the Match. I know you'll be shocked by our decision on that front.There are a couple more Orlando players on their way to their national teams, as Emily Sams and Kerry Abello were named to the USWNT for the upcoming window. Will Emma Hayes finally give Sams some minutes? Will Abello get a runout for the senior team? We'll see.This week's mailbagbox wants to know about the Pride's chances if Banda and Marta play average soccer, what will happen if and when Rafaelle is fully healthy, our thoughts on Mystery Science Theater 3000, something about furries, and more.

The 3rd Hour crew is in Orlando, Florida! Dylan goes on a tour and checks out all the fun the city has to offer — from a tranquil oasis to a monster truck ride. Also, stars from the Orlando Pride, the defending champions of the National Women's Soccer League, join to discuss this season and making Orlando sports history. Plus, TODAY contributor Sarah Eggenberger shares a roundup of some of the best finds from local Orlando small businesses.

Janni Nation, this one is for you! We've got a special episode featuring URFC's newest fan favorite — the dynamic and versatile Danish international, Janni Thomsen. Janni tells us her soccer story, what made this the perfect time to move to the NWSL, and what she aspires to accomplish with the Royal's and Denmark. By the end of the episode, we think you'll love her as much as we do, both on the field and off.  We also recap the insane 3-3 draw against the Washington Spirit at Rowdy Audi, and hope it can be a momentum swing as they host the reigning champs, Orlando Pride on Friday at home. Let's show up big for our team! Thanks as always for listening, and thanks to ABC4Utah for presenting this podcast.

The numbers? Still Sticky! But before they dive back in, Eric and Evan briefly discuss the latest USWNT Roster and one very notable omission (hint: it rhymes Shmorbin Shmalbert). Then, the guys are joined once more by Kim McCauley of the Guardian to finish their review of the data, check their sometimes questionable priors (Utah), and call out a few of their own goals (again, Utah).

The Orlando Pride may not be exactly in free fall, but when compared to last season, the team certainly seems to be struggling — at least on the offensive end. The club's 1-0 home loss to Kansas City could have been a productive result if not for a defensive error that handed the league's most dangerous attacker a 1-v-1 against the goalkeeper. Alas, Friday's game wasn't an aberration. The Pride have scored once in the last three matches, and that lone goal was an extremely fortunate one in stoppage time at North Carolina.We break down Orlando's home loss in Friday's NWSL battle for first place, discuss the game's important moments, check on our score predictions from last week, and make our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox wants to know about the Pride's attack, which players might provide some solutions if they transfer to Orlando, whether Haley Carter has something up her sleeve, and more.

While Orlando has a good record against Utah, the Royals are coming off a hard-fought, high-scoring draw against Washington, so there are no gimmies in the NWSL. We look back at the series history, check out where the two teams are relative to each other, provide our key matchups, and make our score predictions.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 87 went down:0:15 – The Pride's warning sirens are getting louder after a third consecutive match without a win.13:19 - The mailbagbox has some concerns about the Pride's offense.30:30 – The Pride head to Utah looking to get back on track.

Join us LIVE as we dissect the Orlando Pride's gut-wrenching 1-0 loss to the Kansas City Current, where Temwa Chawinga's lone goal exposed defensive cracks in the NWSL champs' armor. Was it a fluke or a sign of deeper issues? We'll break down the key moments, analyze what went wrong, and debate if the Pride can bounce back. Plus, we're previewing their upcoming clash against the Utah Royals—can Barbra Banda and Marta rediscover their magic to dominate in Sandy? Drop your thoughts in the chat, and let's get heated!

For the Glory KC is back with the 132nd episode of the show after an unexpected week off. Sporting Kansas City had a very busy week loaded with (frankly, ridiculous) travel. After nearly 5,000 miles, they picked up two hard fought points against St. Louis City SC and San Diego FC. The draw against their cross-state rivals definitely felt like a victory as they snatched the point from the jaws of defeat. The San Diego game was more of a slog, as though a team had travelled a ton, heavily rotated their lineup, missed one of their two Designated Players and were playing a superior opponent at home. Despite that, they still earned a draw.Sheena returns after a brief hiatus, and we work our way through both of those games as well as a brief mention of the 1-0 loss to the Portland Timbers from last week we didn't get to cover.The theme of the three games was definitely defense, villains and goalkeeping. All three get high marks as Shapi Suleymanov and Jansen Miller tortured the St. Louis fans. Pulskamp also stood on his head across all three games. And Robert Voloder may have cemented himself as the starter next to Miller at center back, with a revolving door of fullbacks playing next to them.Since our last episode, MLS also released roster compositions for all 30 MLS teams. Sporting KC have no surprises with two open international spots and the ability to add a Designated Player along with a U-22 Initiative player, or two U-22 signings. To aid in that addition this summer is $1,928,679 in General Allocation Money (GAM), of which at least $500,000 is burning a hole in their pocket and has to be spent. Also, we get into the movement of the LAFC/SKC game from a crowded week to an international break weekend.The KC Current got back to their winning ways with us taking the last week off. They beat Bay FC 4-1 before heading on the road to take out the Orlando Pride 1-0. The biggest questions coming off the victory that further cemented their first-place status is, at what cost did it come? Alana Cook, Debinha and Temwa Chawinga all left the game injured.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:SKC II slightly improving on their strugglesFormer SKC player updates on CJ Sapong, Kei Kamara and Gianluca BusioGreg Vanney gets his contract extended after the worst start to a season in MLS historyHere is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times):A Hard Fought SKC Point against San Diego - 6:36Sporting KC's big comeback vs St. Louis - 18:41A quick look at SKC vs. Portland - 48:10Sporting KC have room to spend - 52:17KC Current slip by Orlando and crush Bay FC - 1:06:28Digital Crawl - 1:14:33Upcoming GamesSKC II vs. LAFC2, Friday, May 23rd at 6:00PM CDT KC Current vs. Chicago Stars, Saturday, May 24th at 6:30PMSporting KC vs New England Revolution, Saturday, May 24th at 7:30PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

The URFC squad is back, though missing our beloved Sir Sean, for an episode that goes beyond the pitch. We take a moment to send our thoughts, prayers, and unwavering support to Savy King as she begins her road to recovery. We hold space for reflections from those who know Savy best: her teammate in LA and former Royals player, Christen Press, and Alex Loera, a close friend and former teammate. We also share post-game media from Royals head coach, Jimmy Coonraets, who offers a heartfelt reminder that some things are truly bigger than the game. We recap the Royals' recent losses and struggles on the pitch against the Courage and Angel City, and preview Saturday's road match against the Washington Spirit, hoping to bring home points before we face Orlando Pride at home next week.  As always, thank you for listening! Royal Riot is presented by ABC4Utah.

Thombomb welcomes Justin Horneker of majorleaguesoccer.com to review Current's match against Bay FC and preview the budding rivalry of Current and Orlando Pride.

The Orlando Pride continued to struggle to put the ball in the net Saturday at North Carolina, but at least they only allowed the Courage one goal. Prisca Chilufya's improbable header off a corner kick somehow found a spot where the goalkeeper couldn't get to it, allowing Orlando to escape Cary, NC, with a 1-1 draw and a vital road point in a tight NWSL race. But the Pride have just one win in their last four matches, which is a far cry from their form in the first half of 2024. We break down Orlando's road draw, discuss the game's big talking points, check on our score predictions from last week, and make our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox wants to know about the Women's Club World Cup and the Harlem Globetrotters of soccer.

The Pride and Current have developed one of the league's more organic rivalries over the course of the last year, when both teams were among the league's best. That's the case again this year, but the Current enter the weekend in better form than Orlando and a two-point lead in the standings.

FRIDAY HR 3 Monster Sports - Orlando Solar Bears game tonight. Orlando City SC match tomorrow. Orlando Pride on the road. NBA Playoffs. Savannah is being nice to the whole show. Russ is not. Monsters planning Gator Lanf broadcast. Savannah has plan's.

The Orlando Pride have not played well for 2.5 of the last three matches, falling 1-0 on the road at Portland Saturday night. Scoring is an issue, as is breaking out of their own end. The Pride simply aren't creating enough clear-cut scoring chances, and when they do, they're not being clinical with those opportunities. We break down Orlando's second loss of the season — tying last year's total already — discussing some of the game's big moments, looking back at our predictions from last week, and making our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox wants to know about NWSL announcers and officials, Pride cohesion, and the season-ending injury list.

It's a tough place to get a result and a quality opponent for Orlando, but you have to play everyone in their place at some point. A result against North Carolina might be just what the doctor ordered for the Pride to get back on track and go on a run after falling in two of the last three games. We break down the all-time series, preview the Courage, provide our key matchups in the game, 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 85 went down:0:15 – The Pride are not in the best form at the moment, but they're still in first place, so there's that.17:26 - A bunch of questions were found in this week's mailbagbox, so we answered them.35:30 – The Pride head to another difficult place to get results with a trip to North Carolina on the schedule for Saturday. We preview!

The top-4 only managed to grab a single combined point over the weekend. Does this mean last year's us-and-them table is a thing of the past? Maaaayyyyybe. The guys whip around the league to figure some of this out (2:56), and then close with the Portland Thorns' 1-0 win over the Orlando Pride at Providence Park (37:59). Barbra Banda was all alone, Coffey and Hina bossed proceedings, and Olivia Moultrie is locking in.  Join our Patreon for $6/month ($60/year) to get all of our exclusive bonus content!

The Orlando Pride looked for all the world like they were about to sustain a two-game home losing streak. Down two goals to Angel City — a team the Pride had never beaten at Inter&Co Stadium — and looking hardly in the mood for the first half, the Pride came out of the locker room rejuvenated. Still, it took a while to break through and climb back into the match. Once that happened, Orlando always looked capable of going on and picking up all three points, which is what transpired. It was not only the Pride's first home win over Angel City (and the first win by the home team in the all-time series), but it was also the club's first multi-goal comeback victory.We discuss the game's talking points and big moments, check our score predictions from last week, and make our selections for Player of the Match in the Pride's 3-2 home win over Angel City.This week's mailbagbox wants to know about expected goals, NWSL parity, the Pride's choice of starters, underrated moments in the match, a second division in the women's game in North America, and more.

The NWSL has always prided itself on chaos. A league where anyone can beat anyone. But five weeks into the 2025 season, things are looking awfully similar to 2024.

The whiparound, like the weekend's NWSL action, doesn't exactly quicken the guys' pulses on today's episode (00:41). But there are many important things to address with the Washington Spirit's 1-0 road win against the Orlando Pride, not least of which is the handling of Ashley Hatch's concussion (10:48). This week's featured game takes us down to Kentucky, where the Wave pasted Racing 4-1. But what was going on beneath the surface? Is San Diego a contender? Do the underlying data or the eye test (plus a soft schedule) tell the realer story of Louisville's first five games (19:07)?

The Orlando Pride lost a home game, which hasn't happened in a while. If I were wired in any kind of normal way, I'd remember how great that 22-match unbeaten run at home was, rather than the absolute howler that helped put a stop to that streak. But I'm wired like I am, which means obsessing and wondering why an experienced player continues to make the kinds of plays that indicate no learning has been done to prevent furthere such errors. Orlando's 1-0 home loss to the Washington Spirit could have happened in a variety of ways. After all, the Spirit are a top team in the NWSL. They're talented. They're well coached. They're hard to break down and difficult to keep off the board. Yet it was simply Anna Moorhouse's refusal to make a simple pass to the left while under pressure that turned what could have been an unsastisfying-but-hard-fought 0-0 draw into a loss.We look back at another subpar offensive night for the Pride, check our score predictions from last week, and make our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox wants us to put the loss into perspective, asks us to opine on whether Adriana's loss is affecting the Pride's scoring, wonders what it'll take for a different goalkeeper to get minutes for Orlando, wants to know where Angelina should be playing, and more.

The Orlando Pride returned from the break and picked up basically where they left off, playing well enough to beat the Seattle Reign on the road, while not exactly impressing with the performance that earned those three points. All wins in the NWSL are good, and none seem to come easily, but the Pride made things unnecessarily difficult on themselves in the second half with giveaways and inconsistent defending. Anna Moorhouse had to come up huge late in the game to preserve a 1-0 lead that Barbra Banda had supplied just before halftime.We look back at another low-scoring Pride win, check our score predictions from last week's show, and make our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox wants to know how the Pride turned around their history of past failures, how smart USWNT Head Coach Emma Hayes is, narratives about the Pride-Spirit series, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp.

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.Following our mailbagbox segment, we look ahead to Saturday's matchup between the Pride and the Spirit. Orlando may have won trophies with consecutive victories over the Spirit, but Washington got the last laugh by winning the postgame penalty shootout to claim the 2025 NWSL Challenge Cup at Inter&Co Stadium. The Pride will have to be sharper than they've been at both ends in recent games to hold off one of the league's top contenders. We provide our key matchups and our score predictions.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 82 went down:0:15 – The Pride pick up just their second road win against Seattle in club history.
