Orlando City 2017 Season Long Thread: Playoff Bound?

Hell yes. I'm a little nervous about the status of the outside backs going into the season, but the attack should be on fricking point. Detractors will say Orlando sold its most dangerous and productive goal scorer, but I am of the opinion that Larin will thrive in a lineup void of Molino. Being one of two forwards in a traditional diamond formation will suit him, and he will have plenty of support with Rivas. I am also very excited to see how Giles Barnes fits in to the equation.

It's going to be an exciting year. A lot of people are sleeping on Orlando, but I think 6th or higher is a possibility.

Cyle bout to get it!!! Going to be weird not having Breck Shea out there, but I think we will be fine without him.

I agree with you there, our attack should still be lethal. Not sure what to expect from the fullbacks though, guess we'll find out today.
I think this team is either a sneak into the playoffs or clinch their spot early type of team.

Any Tampa based fans of OCSC on here like me?

Do you want to see the Rowdies move up or stay with the Lions?

I'm thrown being from New Port Richey and possibly moving back there or Tampa after I retire from the Air Force. I want to back the Rowdies if they expand to MLS but Al Lang being a halfway looking soccer stadium converted from baseball because of being right on the bay isn't giving me a feeling of a true soccer stadium like OCS does.

I'd rather Mls expansion happen to other states,but that would be an awesome rivalry. There is already bad blood between them.

The new stadium looks beautiful, on TV at least.

How many times are the announcers going to talk about how much pressure is on them to win

Well losing Kaka 10 minutes in isn't a good start to the season.

That's how you use your head!!

Good grief hopefully Larin is alright.

Anyone just see the Joe Bendik sign!? Said "Joe" in the top left and then the curved eggplant emoji underneath.
