The loss in Seattle
@phillysoccerpg I’ll take Cristian Maidana, given Hackworth’s comments earlier in the week.
— Jonathan Tannenwald (@thegoalkeeper) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg SW’s been off for a while. He needs to get on form. And LeToux needs to not disappear.
— John Shields (@peppwave) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg I’d like to see Williams atone for a lackluster season. I think Edu needs to step up. Underwhelming for two weeks.
— Peter Dyer (@handsome_pete) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Hackworth, has to prove he knows how to manage.
— Brett Wallace (@BrettMWallace) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg That’s a good thing. The 4-4-2 is a better lineup, anyway.
— John Shields (@peppwave) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg I take back my questionable tactics swipe…still anticipating bad subs
— Stan Pasukinis (@SPasukinis) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg wow Gaddis is fast
— Jeff Palo (@JeffPalo) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Great ball though. Don’t know that Evans knew much about it.
— Shawn Pauley (@ShawnPaul_SoB) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg something weird is happening…are the union actually playing decent against one of the best teams in MLS?! Someone pinch me
— Matt Kirkpatrick (@MattKirk3622) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Definitely. Should’ve been Fernandes from the start.
— Jackie Wagner (@J__Wag) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg when you don’t have a striker to pass to, you gotta try and do it yourself. Wenger has been invisible and bad on the ball
— Tony Clark (@TonyClarkDOOP) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Yet another picture of Edu walking and a striker running by him and scoring…

@phillysoccerpg Once again, I would have been happy with a tie. Now I’m going to be pissed if we don’t win.

@phillysoccerpg How many Wheeler errors til Berry makes it back into the starting lineup?
— Eric Frysinger (@erfrysin13) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Wenger has been really disappointing and Chaco is getting annoyed about it.
— Michael Joseph Rullo (@MichaelRullo) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg @PhilaUnion Do people realize how good Nogueira truly is? The Union should extend his deal for an additional 10 yrs.
— Brian DeLawter (@BrianDeLawter) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Austin Berry woulda won that

@phillysoccerpg games like this make me feel like a masochist for supporting this team. You just know that late goal is coming
— Sam Saltzbørg (@Saltzmonster) May 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg I came into this game fully expecting a loss, but they played just good enough to make me hopeful and leave me disappointed.
— Jackie Wagner (@J__Wag) May 4, 2014
New tactic, foul everyone in the box, let McMath take on the PK. @phillysoccerpg

Lets just fast forward to the Manziel picks and the Eagles pick
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) May 9, 2014
I love watching these guys get the news that they’ve achieved their lifelong dream of playing in the NFL. #NFLDraft
— ray gaddis (@raygaddis) May 9, 2014
A lot of you were pretty critical of Antoine this week. I think this is pretty classy for him to post though.
Was it a foul? Eh probably not. Was it a dive? No. Was it pretty unathletic? Definitely looks that… http://t.co/idnV2cErhJ

SPREAD THE WORD: At the 20:10 mark of the @PhilaUnion match this Saturday, there will be a moment of silence for Eric Shertz

Honorary goalkeeper today was Gabe Shertz! Great kid with a lot of skills. #gknation http://t.co/hmxaxEviJX

“@raygaddis: @MikeLahoud called to Sierra Leone MNT for Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Congrats bro!!!”slight work
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) May 9, 2014
its funny, seeing that video hoppenot posted of him going down convinced me that it wasn’t a dive but instead just him tripping himself
it’s the pleading for a call afterwards that sends it into dive territory.
