Coming out of Exploria Stadium this early in the season with a 0-0 draw was a good result.
There. I said it. What was once unthinkable is now to be said out loud. The thing is, Orlando City have in the past year or so finally figured out how to build a soccer team (first order of business: ship out Joe Bendik). They are, at this point, a respectable and competitive club.
So, opening the MLS season in Central Florida and extending the clean sheet streak to 270 minutes was a creditable performance. Failing to score was perhaps not so great, but that’s probably my fault for considering Pedro Gallese for my fantasy team and then changing my mind.
