Paradise get their first win in USL League One over Maine's Portland Hearts of Pine. Breakdown of the game, some tactics talk, USL 1 Week Four roundup, Big Top Brewing, and Metal.

Paradise score their first two goals of the season and draw at home against Ft Wayne FC, but some familiar potential problems arise in the attack. Plus a trip to Disney World and beer from Cigar City.

Match week 1 is in the books. A look at the hot points of Paradise's match against AC Boise, then overall impressions and commentary on the match, match day experience. I finish off with a glance at this weekend's results in USL League 1 and a quick look ahead to next week vs Fort Wayne FC. Also, a new Florida craft beer.
