@phillysoccerpg meet the new boss same as the old boss
— Bill farrar (@sievetronix) June 17, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Did they make the players go through the turnstiles to pad the numbers?

@phillysoccerpg they look like they are still on vacation
— Adam Stefanik (@AdamSGT36) June 17, 2014
@phillysoccerpg this is pathetic. The Union look terrible.
— Chris Lehmann (@chrislehmann) June 17, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Curtin should worry that this is how they play in his first game – even if this is Open Cup. They aren't playing for him.
— Chris Lehmann (@chrislehmann) June 17, 2014
@phillysoccerpg I turned Seinfeld on. More action in this episode than by the Union in the first half.
— Zachariah Spät (@Spaethship) June 17, 2014
@phillysoccerpg The reserves probably would have played with more intensity.
— Harry Lnu (@akaFLAVIO) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg @PhilaUnion uhm, when do you guys push Edu up and press the match? Play three in the back, stupid. #FireSak
— Brian DeLawter (@BrianDeLawter) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg extra time. I'm the guy heckling Morgan Langley. I want that man's jersey.
— JamesParker Melinson (@realjpmelinson) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg could we get a coach to teach these assholes to shoot across the goal when they get separation?? Goalie pops it out, rebound
— Brian DeLawter (@BrianDeLawter) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg he is worse than BC. He should never make the 18 again.
— Don Ainsworth (@DonAinsworth) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg @PhilaUnion so Harrisburg huddles up, and show team effort. The Union–nothing but guys with hands on hips. Great spirit
— Brian DeLawter (@BrianDeLawter) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg I feel bad for Sylvestere. Dude was awesome. #brickwall #doublesave
— Paul Costa (@Oreland827) June 18, 2014
@PhilaUnion @phillysoccerpg I did not acquire Morgan Langley's jersey.
— JamesParker Melinson (@realjpmelinson) June 18, 2014
@phillysoccerpg I have decided that Wenger is the player to have on the field after the 105th minute.

If so, ask the person next to you to kick you in the nose.

Random World Cup thoughts
Happy to see former teammate @carlosvaldes5 fulfill his dream of playing in the World Cup with Columbia. Wish you the best of luck mate
— Michael Lahoud (@MikeLahoud) June 14, 2014
That Columbia celebration is definitely getting re-enacted in Broadway after the world cup.
— ray gaddis (@raygaddis) June 14, 2014

It's scary how hard Chile's front 3 are working and chasing!
— Maurice Edu (@MauriceEdu) June 18, 2014
“@MauriceEdu: For the record, I had Netherlands and Chile coming out of this group! @amobisays can confirm this!” Facts only
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) June 18, 2014
Cameroon begging for more money and putting up these performances…. Unbelievable
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) June 18, 2014
Colombia brought the swag to the World Cup. I was expecting more from the African countries on celebrations.
— Ethan White (@EthanWhite15) June 19, 2014
If Colombia doesn't kick the ball out because their guy is on the ground, Ivory Coast shouldn't be penalized for that
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) June 19, 2014
Oh my goal! Just became a Suarez fan with that finish #WorldCup2014
— Michael Lahoud (@MikeLahoud) June 19, 2014
@Rogertorres_20 still the best Colombian soccer dancer I know @JuanAgudelo a close second

I must say @SebastienLeToux told me #France would score three goals or more today. I must tip my cap to you French guru.
