Lion Links: 9/1/18
Adios, August, and salud to you, September! As we turn the page on the calendar, there is renewed hope that Orlando City and the Orlando Pride can turn the page on their losing ways, find some hidden reserves of strength and fortitude, and give us a few more thrills before the long, dark tea-time of the off-season.
That page turn could start as early as tonight, as the Lions host the sizzling Philadelphia Union and their stingy defense that hasn’t allowed an opponent to score in three games. Orlando didn’t score the last time the teams met, in a 1-0 U.S. Open Cup loss. But that only makes tonight the rubber match as each team has conquered the other once this season.
