PSP photographer Paul Rudderow was on hand for Saturday night as the Philadelphia Union dropped another “Must Win” game to the Houston Dynamo in a 1-0 loss. Here’s a look at what he saw.

I laughed…
Ya, sometimes it’s nice to interject some humor in an otherwise negative outcome. Davis made it easy this time.
Great shots as always. Interesting to look at the Houston players in the background when Casey is celebrating Keon’s disallowed free kick. None of them are protesting to the referee or linesman which is rather telling.
Thank you George. I agree, even if they thought it was an iffy call they would have been running around trying to sell the story.
