Orlando City was tripped up at home by New York City FC in preseason action but we’re calling shenanigans as the Pigeons got not one but two (!) penalty kick goals in one half of a preseason (!) match. At any rate, Alexandre Pato is already scoring goals in Orlando purple and that’s a good thing.
The Lions signed a new Homegrown Player this week in forward Wilfredo Rivera and that’s another good thing. Plus, we’re here to discuss Orlando City players representing the United States on multiple levels, with Andres Perea and Benji Michel seeing time with the U-23 squad and Daryl Dike getting the call for the senior USMNT.
