Union Settle for Draw Against Revs

At this stage in the season, points are precious. With a win over the New England Revolution at PPL Park yesterday, the Philadelphia Union would have moved within striking distance of the fourth-place Kansas City Wizards in the Eastern Conference standings. Union players and officials, undoubtedly disappointed, are trying to downplay the tie. But a quick glance at the league schedule should give Union fans…

Philadelphia Union Beat Third-Place Toronto FC

The Philadelphia Union reasserted its home field dominance on Saturday, topping Toronto FC, 2-1, at PPL Park, behind a goal and assist by Sebastien Le Toux. The Blue and Gold bounced back after a heart-wrenching home loss to the San Jose Earthquakes last week and ended third-place TFC’s eight game unbeaten streak. Philly Union Talk was at the game in full force, downing beer on…

Union Draw Chivas

The boys in blue slugged it out with their Western Conference last-place counterparts, with the first half’s goals being the only ones as the last 45 proved a stalemate.  The good news is that this time, the Union drew first blood; doing so, especially on the road, is almost refreshing enough to make up for the fact that this game was more winnable than the…

Good Times at PPL Park Open House

Sunshine, cheap beers, hot dogs with hilariously customized pretzels, and four very gracious Union players made for a great day at the still-virginal PPL Park.  Founding members were able to get an early close-up look at our new home, which in person was even more grand than months of construction-cam photos had indicated. The facility is an oasis dotting the hellscape that is Chester, a…

Recap: Union Fall to KC Wizards

What to say?  Poor defense, a silly error or two, and a red card in the first half brought back memories we’d all thought were stuffed into the deepest recesses of our collective mental trauma box, locked away along with childhood bike accidents and that really friendly priest.  Last night was not a good one for Union fans, as the spike of momentum brought about…

Unwatchable Game in Kansas City

I have watched a lot of soccer games in my time.  I have sat and watched games on GOL TV from the Columbian League.  I love early FA Cup ties featuring two teams from England’s third division.  I’ll confess, I have even watched a WPS game this year involving Heather Mitts and The Philadelphia Independence.  The truth is I would probably have no problem watching a…

Recap: Fire Top Union 2-1

In 1974 Muhammad Ali faced upstart champion George Foreman in the historic Rumble in the Jungle boxing fight in Zaire. Big George was an imposing figure with heavy fists; metaphors fail to convey the kind of hurt he tucked into his gloves before stepping into the ring. But Ali was a crafty, experienced technician. He had a plan to neutralize his opponent. Lying on the…

The Le Toux Shuffle

Along with our first away victory, we also have our first epic goal celebration.  After Le Toux slid home the equalizer, he broke out in the “Le Toux shuffle”.  Below is the link to Le Toux’s goal.  Pay attention after the goal to the Frenchmen’s nifty strut, but let’s also give the goal some props too.  They say that true goal scorers seem to pass the ball…
