Match19 Mar 2033
Chastening afternoon for Orlando City
A 2‑5 beating by DC United was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.
Player ratings21 Mar 2033
A brace, and Patrick Agyemang takes the afternoon — 9.06
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Patrick Agyemang provided it, and the 9.06 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Squad21 Mar 2033
Maxime Crépeau 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.

Tempers go at Orlando City
Patrick Agyemang 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.
Match19 Mar 2033
Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Orlando City and DC United in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Transfer targets21 Mar 2033
Too dear: Orlando City walk away from D.J. Taylor
$19.0K was the most the club would pay and St. Louis CITY SC were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Words at Orlando City training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulo Rudisill 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.
The dugout21 Mar 2033
Griffin Dorsey 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.
Boardroom21 Mar 2033
Doors closed at Orlando City
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
