The Citrus Bowl will host the US Women’s National Soccer team – the same team that won the World Cup last month. They’re traveling the nation on their victory tour and will take on the Brazilian national team in a friendly contest.

Is Orlando becoming the soccer capital of the south? 90.7’s Brendan Byrne spoke with The Mane Land soccer blogger Andrew Marcinko  about the visit from the world cup winners – and a look at the Orlando City Soccer Club’s season so far.

Brendan Byrne is WMFE's Assistant News Director, managing the day-to-day operations of the WMFE newsroom, editing daily news stories, and managing WMFE's internship program.

Byrne also hosts WMFE's weekly radio show and podcast "Are We There Yet?" which explores human space exploration.
