From our football correspondent Crisis

Market28 Jun 2027

Marco Pašalić hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Orlando City can pretend not to have heard.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Robin Jansson: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Orlando City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad28 Jun 2027

David Brekalo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match26 Jun 2027

Orlando City come up short against Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch28 Jun 2027

Justin Ellis wants to come home

“I did not go to FC Cincinnati to sit and watch. I want to come back to Orlando City and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Squad28 Jun 2027

The manager makes an example of Joran Gerbet

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match2 Jun 2027

Cup progress for Orlando City

A 1‑1 win over San Diego Football Club, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad7 Jun 2027

Maxime Crépeau is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Maxime Crépeau: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match5 Jun 2027

The wait goes on for Orlando City

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Age has not caught Antoine Griezmann yet — 8.17

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.17 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market7 Jun 2027

Orlando City may not be able to give Eduard Atuesta what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Eduard Atuesta wants continental football; whether Orlando City can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Words at Orlando City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Brekalo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Tyrese Spicer runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Orlando City

Robin Jansson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad7 Jun 2027

When it matters, Antoine Griezmann plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Marco Pašalić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings17 May 2027

Antoine Griezmann, 36, rolls back the years — 8.19

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.19 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Match15 May 2027

Orlando City make home a hard place to visit

12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad17 May 2027

David Brekalo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match15 May 2027

Orlando City and New England Revolution take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad10 Aug 2026

Martín Ojeda stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Martín Ojeda and Orlando City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Iván Angulo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Eduard Atuesta in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Orlando City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Jules-Anthony Vilsaint will join Orlando City for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Jules-Anthony Vilsaint has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Orlando City have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match8 Aug 2026

Orlando City find a way past New York Red Bulls

New York Red Bulls made Orlando City work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tyrese Spicer pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Orlando City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Daniel Bocanegra is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Marco Pašalić

Marked 8.26 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market10 Aug 2026

CF Montreal expected to open talks for Yutaro Tsukada

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Orlando City will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market3 Aug 2026

Hellas Verona come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Orlando City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Antoine Griezmann signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Antoine Griezmann commits to Orlando City for another 2 years.

Market3 Aug 2026

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Eduard Atuesta wants continental football; whether Orlando City can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Antoine Griezmann

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Maxime Crépeau gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market3 Aug 2026

CF Montreal join the queue for Yutaro Tsukada

Add another name to the list: CF Montreal have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Yutaro Tsukada. The answer from Orlando City has not changed — yet.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Marco Pašalić in the eights

A performance of 8.11 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
