From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad6 Sep 2038

Duncan McGuire stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Duncan McGuire and Orlando City agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad6 Sep 2038

Duncan McGuire 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.

Player ratings6 Sep 2038

Yomi Ayodeji runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad6 Sep 2038

Braian Ojeda 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.

Match4 Sep 2038

A bad afternoon for Orlando City against Charlotte Football Club

0‑2 to Charlotte Football Club, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad6 Sep 2038

The manager makes an example of Antonio De María y Campos

“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.

Player ratings6 Sep 2038

Justin Ellis leaves them behind him

Shots: 9. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Boardroom6 Sep 2038

$319.1K a year onto the Orlando City books

A new partner, a signature and a photograph nobody will remember. It funds a fortnight of wages, which is more than most headlines on this page can say for themselves.

Market6 Sep 2038

The clock does Leonardo Sepúlveda’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Orlando City could ask drops and the wages Leonardo Sepúlveda can ask rise.

Squad3 May 2038

Milán González damages knee ligaments — 81 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 81 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match1 May 2038

Reed Baker-Whiting settles it late for Orlando City

The 87th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Reed Baker-Whiting decided nobody was going anywhere. FC Cincinnati had no time left to answer.

Player ratings3 May 2038

Age has not caught Reed Baker-Whiting yet — 9.32

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.32 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad3 May 2038

Tempers go at Orlando City

Duncan McGuire 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.

Match1 May 2038

Reed Baker-Whiting the difference as Orlando City beat FC Cincinnati

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Reed Baker-Whiting. 3‑2 against FC Cincinnati, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings3 May 2038

Yomi Ayodeji in the eights

A performance of 9.35 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad3 May 2038

Words at Orlando City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matthew Corcoran 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.

Squad3 May 2038

Ignacio Peluffo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ignacio Peluffo commits to Orlando City for another 3 years.

Player ratings3 May 2038

One of those days for Matthew Corcoran

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.21, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad14 Sep 2037

Mark Pepi breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad14 Sep 2037

DeAndre Bradley keeps Orlando City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings14 Sep 2037

Age has not caught Iván Angulo yet — 8.57

At 38 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.57 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad14 Sep 2037

Match12 Sep 2037

Iván Angulo’s goal not enough for Orlando City

Iván Angulo scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Atlanta United FC, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings14 Sep 2037

Antonio De María y Campos could have had three

10 attempts, none of them in. He got into the right places all afternoon, which is the hard part, and did the easy part badly — and that is the version of a bad day a manager can live with.

Player ratings14 Sep 2037

Nobody could get near Yomi Ayodeji

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings14 Sep 2037

An afternoon Ebiede Jeffery will want back

Marked 5.71. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Market23 Feb 2037

Orlando City say no — this time

The offer from Real Salt Lake for Brenden Ferreira was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad23 Feb 2037

Matthew Corcoran 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.

Walker Adams falls out with a teammate over standards

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match12 Jan 2037

Orlando City are in real trouble now

Position 14, 21 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad12 Jan 2037

DeAndre Moore breaks a bone — 17 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom12 Jan 2037

Pressure builds in the Orlando City boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Justin Ellis 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.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Home is on Kevin Rodríguez's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Orlando City are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Jack Dempsey stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jack Dempsey and Orlando City agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
