Imagine when the 2030 World Cup rolls around and MLS won't have to break or adjust their calendar at all.

This 7 week summer break for the 2026 WC is the perfect example of why the calendar shift is 💯 needed.

Haley Carter is destined for big things.

I don't know where or what.

But I won't be shocked when she's announced as the new President of NWSL or something like that. 👀

Haley Carter IS by far the most impressive soccer GM I have ever seen.

She inherited a mess of a club, and leaves it with it's first trophies 🛡🏆 in the cabinet.

I know you will crush it wherever you're going. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING HALEY! 🙏

FOREVER PURPLE. 💜

The Orlando City roster decisions are boring and safe, in my opinion.

Nothing ambitious about bringing back Luis Muriel.

We better make some exciting moves this off-season.

Same coach and same roster is a tough sell to casual fans after that 2025 season end.

Thank you Carlos Mercado, Shak Mohammed and Favian Loyola for everything!

🚨 ORLANDO CITY NEWS 📰

Pedro and Cesar are confirmed to not be returning.

Mercado, Loyola & Mohammed also had their contract options declined.

Jansson & Smith are negotiating new contracts to stay.

All other players had their option exercised or are still under contract.

After watching back that goal.
Its pretty clear.

Anna just fails to make a save. Again!

She plays well most of the time. But then, there's stuff like that. 👎🏼

I'm ready to move on. She's a good keeper but not a great one. And, IMO, we can do better for a #1.

NWSL final is 2 east coast teams playing in a neutral west coast stadium. 🥴

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE NWSL! 🙄

NO MORE NEUTRAL SITE FINALS! 😤

Heartbreak for Orlando Pride.

Our lack of attack finally caught up to us.

We defended well but it wasn't enough.

We needed someone to step up this game and put the ball in the net. Sadly, no one did.

We go again next year. Great season.
