The Philadelphia Union have a massive game on hand when they host Chicago Fire on Thursday. In the latest edition of the KYW Philly Soccer Show, Fire defender, and former Union man, Bakary Soumare joins KYW’s Greg Orlandini and PSP’s Eli Pearlman-Storch.

The Malian international was brought into the Union with much fanfare, but a long injury layoff and a coaching change saw him make only four league appearances for the team.

Soumare talks about his all-too-brief time at PPL Park and the bond he still shares with some of the Union players.

He also discusses Chicago’s up-and-down year.
