One great thing about a double game week is that it gives us even more to talk about and boy did we ever on this supersized episode of the PawedCast. We break down Orlando City's 2-1 win over Montreal and the 2-2 midweek draw against the Philadelphia Union. Plus, we've got thoughts on the Orlando Pride, OCB, Kaká to Brazil's Copa America squad, and a look ahead to the friendly against Stoke City.

Man, that's a lot to talk about, but we covered it all.

That alone would have made for a good show, but this week we've also got Lions rookie striker Hadji Barry, who scored his first two professional goals with OCB on Sunday night. That performance was good enough to not only get him in the 18 on Wednesday for the senior club, but also to get him on the field. Hadji talks about his adjustment to American life, his transition from collegiate soccer to the pros, and more.

And of course we have our key match-ups and predictions for the trip to play New York City FC on Sunday.We hope our predictions are wrong, but we also hope we didn't undersell the difficulty Orlando City will have with this match.

Here's the running order:

0:12- A full rewind on Montreal and Philly, discipline, our Man of the Match awards, Kaká to Brazil, the Pride over Houston, OCB over Rochester and more in a full segment.

48:01- Hadji Barry! The first-year pro is excited to get on the score sheet and he tells us about his personal history and what his pro experience has been like so far.

58:52- A little friendly talk about Stoke City in Melbourne, plus our key match-ups and predictions for Sunday's match and we really don't mean to be doom and gloom.
