Union No-Show in Colorado

by on September 30, 2010 | 1 Comment

While I respect Beyonce—she did produce the best music video of 2009—I always get a sense of foreboding when the Philadelphia Union take the field in their Sasha Fierce outfits. The matte gold jerseys and socks just don’t fit the team or city’s personality: too fussy and ostentatious. And when the team’s play doesn’t sparkle luxurious-like—and it certainly didn’t during Wednesday’s 4-1 loss to the…

Union Settle for Draw Against Revs

by on August 1, 2010 | Add A Comment

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…

The guys played hard, taking an early lead and dominating large stretches of the game, but ultimately lost a heart-breaker to the San Jose Earthquakes behind a pair of stoppage time goals. The visitors benefited from a combination of poor finishing by Union players and some goalmouth magic by…

Donovan Can Have the Headlines, Bradley Just Wants the Ball

by on June 24, 2010 | 1 Comment

Michael Bradley, whose play and decision making was erratic during qualifying, was my pick for man of the match on Wednesday, when the U.S. netted a 1-0 win against Algeria. He did everything one could possibly ask of a box-to-box middy. He confidently guided his team down field, controlling the pace of the game and almost always providing an easy outlet for teammates. (When you…

An Open Letter to Glenn Beck

by on June 17, 2010 | 11 Comments

Dear Mr. Beck, Fuck you. Damn that felt good.  There have been so many, many reasons to say that, but none that were appropriate for a soccer website- until now.  You, my porcine propagandist, had this to say about the supposed lack of enthusiasm for the World Cup in our beautiful nation: “It doesn’t matter how you try to sell it to us, it doesn’t matter how many celebrities you get,…

Recap: Union vs. Red Bulls (USOC)

by on April 27, 2010 | 7 Comments

The US Open Cup: it means nothing.  That’s exactly the reason the Red Bulls only started one player from their starting 11 on Saturday.  The Union decided to rest Le Toux, Moreno, and Fred.  However, Philly’s line up still featured a bunch of regulars.  Right from the start, though, the Union struggled to contain the NY’s second choice players.  This is a bit worrying. The first half was probably…
