SkoPurp No. 139: Portland Rewind and Bay FC Preview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Orlando Pride lost at home to the Portland Thorns. That may seem like an understatement and a lame way to open this post, and it is. The Pride weren't up to the task of taking on the Thorns Saturday afternoon, with a porous defense and a wasteful attack. Ally Lemos had a nice goal and that was just about all the positives for a Pride team that struggled to create chances for Barbra Banda. We break down a home loss that all but sealed a season outside the playoff places for Orlando, check bac
SkoPurp No. 138: Current Rewind, Portland Preview, and Barbra Banda (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a good chunk of Friday night, it seemed as though the Orlando Pride would make it two wins in two matches under interim head coach Yolanda Thomas. Barbra Banda produced two moments of brilliance to stake Orlando to a 2-0 road lead. But the leaky Pride defense re-emerged, giving up two quick goals that indicated the hosts might come back to claim all three points. However, Orlando did just enough to get over the finish line, hold onto a point, and remain unbeaten in the Current's stadium. We
SkoPurp No. 137: Houston Rewind and Current Preview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For one night (at least) the Orlando Pride resembled the 2024 team. The Pride played with energy, grit, and purpose in a 3-1 win over the visiting Houston Dash in a weather-delayed Sunday night tilt over Labor Day weekend, with interim head coach Yolanda Thomas getting a victory in her first match in charge. It was far from a perfect performance, but just playing with the spirit the team displayed on Sunday would keep this team in most games and give it a chance to win. Barbra Banda was a major
SkoPurp No. 136: Seb Hines Out, Utah Rewind and Houston Preview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pride parted ways with coach Seb Hines after losing their fourth match out of five. The Pride have been terrible since the restart after the World Cup break, but somehow beat the two best teams they played (Kansas City and Washington). There's no rhyme or reason, except perhaps the best teams bring out the best in what's left of the Pride's...err...pride. We discuss Hines' departure with Yolanda Thomas taking over as interim manager and what that means, as well as whether the roster was over
SkoPurp No. 135: Spirit Rewind and Utah Preview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pride bounced back from a gut punch loss at Portland to swipe all three points on the road from the Washington Spirit. If you saw the game, you're probably still not sure how the Spirit didn't at least equalize at some point, given the insane disparity in possession and shots, but no matter how ugly a win is, it's still a win, and the Pride haven't had enough of those lately, so savor it. A new face emerged in goal as Anna Moorhouse got a day off and Cosette Morche made her NWSL debut, and a
