Difficult as it is to take in, Philadelphia Union lost against league-best Toronto FC 3-0. Andre Blake made his return to the first team.
The Union’s season ticket renewal campaign began this week. Ticket prices are slightly up. Will sales be?
Plenty of Union Academy alumni will be playing in college this fall. More than 50, in fact.

England’s all-time leading goal scorer, Wayne Rooney, has retired from international play.
Liverpool beat Hoffenheim to advance to the group stages of UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona announced their signing of PSG’s Angel di Maria…but it turned out to be a hack…which turned out to possibly be telling the truth anyway. It’s a very confusing time for Barcelona.
Neymar is going to fight Barcelona’s lawsuit against him.
Takes guts to raise ticket prices to watch this slop.
Building their warchest!
its pretty insane. they should ask the league if they can cash in their unused cap space and pass the savings onto the fans
There should be some form of Garber-bucks out there that can be used to pay down STH fess, right?
ONIONS!!!
To be fair, prices are going to get even higher AFTER they announce the Zlatan signing.
So this “Own Goal” guy just scored in back to back games for DC (both 1-0 wins). Wonder if we could borrow him for a bit.
Own Goal was DC’s top scorer in 2013, there is some history there.
Own Goal is also now DC’s second leading scorer with 3 goals – Acosta has 4
Be careful what you wish for…
Hate to say it, but at this point I’m rooting for last place, which is not impossible. No more BS like if a few things broke our way and the regular BS coach-speak. You are what you are! It’s time for the SOB to send a message Saturday night.
You may get your wish, Revs are 1 pt behind with 2 games in hand, and DC is only 5 pts back with a revamped roster. Orlando might be fighting us for the last spot, but even they still have a game in hand.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to Manchester United, 1 year deal agreed, will wear #10
