Philadelphia Union, meet the best team in the league. The Los Angeles Galaxy have the league’s best record, best player, top scorer, best coach and possibly the best back line. The Union won’t have leading scorer Sebastien Le Toux. We have the game preview.
Le Toux’s injury is not as bad as first feared, fewer than 500 season tickets still available for the Union, Emilio signs short term contract with DC United and more morning news.
After a very disappointing first half the Union looked set to charge back in the second with substitutions Moreno, Miglioranzi and Le Toux. And then came the injury to Le Toux, a much bigger loss than the match itself.
Coach Nowak talks about Le Toux’s injury, makes the team do laps after poor effort in loss against Red Bulls, a roundup of match reports, Lori Lindsey named WPS Player of the Week, Barcelona “fans” attack Jose Mourinho and more.
The Union and the Red Bulls go at it again tonight, except this time it’s a U.S. Open Cup qualifier. It won’t be on TV, and the Red Bulls will sit some starters. Here’s a preview.
Red Bulls fans bring rocks, Ed Farnsworth doesn’t bring a banner, David Beckham and Geoff Cameron are out for the year, and UEFA Champions League resumes. Yep, it’s the daily news roundup. (And yep, I couldn’t find a good photo for today, so I gave you this.)
