The month of August will prove to be a decisive 31 days for Orlando City SC. During that period, they prepare for the semi-final and possibly the final of the U.S. Open Cup, as well as a late-season playoff push in MLS. The Florida club will have to balance both competitions.
Having never reached the final of the Open Cup, the circled date of Aug. 6th will be on every Orlando City supporters’ calendar. Not only is a place in the final on the line; they also have a chance to shock rivals Atlanta United.
