The Orlando Pride sit 11th in the NWSL with a 10-3-14 record, missing the playoffs after a season defined by 14 draws and tactical stagnation. This episode analyzes the central midfield battle between Hailie Mace and potential new signings, exploring how Mace's 44 accurate passes against Seattle compare to the need for vertical play. We also discuss the impact of Ebola travel restrictions on Barbra Banda and Thembi Kgatlana, who are facing quarantine delays. Key topics include the winter roster reshuffle predictions, the defensive line's performance against teams like San Diego Wave and Seattle Reign FC, and whether the current core can compete with rising rivals like Angel City and Bay FC.
