Orlando kicks off Inter Miami rivalry

It’s started. We all thought 2020 MLS entry Inter Miami CF would have a natural rivalry with Orlando City. It’s the closest thing we’ll have to a local derby (What should we call this? Turnpike Derby? Florida Clasico?).

But we at least thought it would require an actual game before these two teams started trading barbs. Well, Orlando fired off 11 months early with some #banter.

All we’ll say is this: Orlando City have won 2 of their last 20 MLS matches.
