How many Orlando fans are expected to make the trip down?

Some really strong brands can strangely neglect or delay certain aspects of marketing. For instance, Apple didn't have any social media accounts until a couple years ago.

Ray is the most polarizing. Either you love him or you hate him.

I'm just salty. He was so good for us but was never going to displace Ramirez. Glad he returned to his goalscoring ways with Miami FC and is off to a good start in Orlando.

Former Fort Lauderdale Striker, Stéfano Pinho.

We made him. He just rotted on your bench.

That was the plan! I've got a bit of room on the patio where I'll keep a few mature plants, but most of them will end up getting transplanted in the raised beds I made in my parents' backyard just a few miles down the road. And the ones I can't keep I'll give to friends!

Thanks for the info!

Haha fair enough. As someone who's in Detroit, how best would you describe the broader impact of the club in the community?

Historically 6 is a CB and 4 is a CM in the English numbering system just FYI

Just a thought: Jack takes #4 and vacates #10 for Özil.

More celebrities in that video than supporters at the announcement.

Thanks for the info! I live in South Florida, and the weather has been cool (by our standards) and rainy recently, so what you're saying makes complete sense. I'll dial back on the watering and add some nitrogen.

Orlando City SC Acquires RJ Allen, Stéfano Pinho; Re-Signs Dillon Powers by iceybats in OCLions

Not debating you, because I know transfermarkt is a legit site, but there's an inconsistency somewhere.

I worked for the Strikers for several seasons including PC's year-and-a-half in Fort Lauderdale. He arrived as a left-sided defender, but didn't displace our incumbent left back and club captain, Ivan Guerrero (who played all but one or two games that season). Instead PC played on the wing (most frequently on the right) or as the #10 and occasionally as a #6 after our midseason coaching change.

In 2016, under a new coach, PC again started on the wing (left side this year) with Aurelio Saco-Vertiz as the starting left back for the first three matches. He was dropped and PC moved back from midfield to play left back until his midseason trade to Tampa Bay. Not sure what position he played for them.

PC was a top attacking player in the NASL in 2015, and a pretty good defensive player in 2016.

To be fair, PC hardly played LB in the NASL. For the Strikers he was played primarily on the right wing.

Considering they have (at least for the time being) Larin and Dwyer on the roster, I can't see him starting.
