The Orlando Pride kick off their season in just under two weeks. It has been a long off-season, highlighted by the change of coaching staff. So far, the hiring of Marc Skinner has only been seen as a positive piece of business, and all the players seem to be looking forward to the season with a fresh outlook.
The Pride played North Carolina in a friendly a few weeks ago and were shut out, losing 4-0. Skinner’s starting XI could likely be his ideal starting XI, although with the World Cup this summer, the Englishman will not have all those players available for most of the season.
