Squad

Tyrese Spicer: 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.

Squad

Robin Jansson 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Iago

“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.

Squad

Luis Otávio keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Orlando City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

No hiding place for Robin Jansson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Robin Jansson, and the manager let it.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Adrián Marín

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Adrián Marín has come out of that comparison in the side, and Orlando City have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Harvey Sarajian

Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Orlando City through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Charlotte Football Club, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad

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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Harvey Sarajian

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Martín Ojeda

A mark of 7.74, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Player ratings

Adrián Marín stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.19 on the card, and the Orlando City support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Robin Jansson dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Orlando City and FC Cincinnati cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. FC Cincinnati came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
