Having a catch with Mickey Mouse in Disney World! Ahead of next month's Disney Cup International
Youth Soccer Tournament, featuring over 200 teams from 16 countries, Kaká traveled to Orlando to
promote the event. Joining him were three NFL players Bryant McFadden of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Travis Johnson of the San Diego Chargers, and Greg Jones of the Jacksonville Jaguars and it's
safe to assume they had absolutely no idea who this boy-faced guy was.
An unusual episode of this most excellent RBNY themed podcast, as Mark goes at it alone (Dave was
off @Disney World). He recaps the home victory against Sporting KC and previews the forthcoming
away game against the LA Galaxy. Two guests this episode.

Orlando, Florida... The Grammar Interesting"
NOT SO FRIENDLY
As Aron Winter gets used to life in the weird and
wonderful world of North American football he will stumble across continental oddities that get
under his skin. During a media scrum at TFC's Oakville training facility this week, the manager was
grumbling about upcoming friendlies against other MLS clubs and mentioning he wouldn't have allowed
it if he had it his way.
The first pre-season games for Orlando City have been announced, and they'll be against MLS
teams at the Disney World Pro Soccer Classic.
The team will join MLS clubs Houston Dynamo, Toronto FC and FC Dallas in the two day tournament
on February 24 and 26 at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.
