Union
The Union take on the Houston Dynamo on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Check out our match preview later today.
There’s a lot going on in Talen Energy Stadium this match – it’s Military Appreciation Night and Dollar Dog Night, with lots of things on sale in the Union store.
Who’s your player of the month for July? Fabian, Przybylko, Picault, or Fontana?
Pretty sure Kai Wagner lost this one and can’t fold a paper box correctly…

Seems like yesterday that we are debating how the Union would be irrelevant now and the Phillies & Eagles would be commanding the spot light. Some very big home games are on the schedule going forward, with the first spot in the East in the mix. I wonder if some sell outs will happen?
it’s likely. i’m actually planning on attending the next few homes. been a killer year of conflicts but should be good for the final home stretch.
Finances are tight, but I’m going to the Atlanta game with a lot of people, and that figures to be just as electric an atmosphere, if not more than, the NYRB game. Probably hitting the NYC finale, mainly out of spite. Side note, angry that Castellanos was the hero last night. 2nd side note, Yes Network announcers are awful, that’s the last time I watch NYC on ESPN+.
