RIP, Shane Kelly
The Philly soccer community lost one of its own when Shane Kelly was gunned down in Fishtown last week. PSP remembers — and mourns — the commissioner of the Casa Soccer League’s top division.

The Union set a new league record in 2011 for fewest shots on target allowed. We break down the numbers.
The Union’s final match of the season showed off their skills and exposed their flaws: A strong defense and a young offense could not overcome a disciplined Dynamo.
They picked the right players this season, and the players did their part. For the Union to take the next step, something else is required. PSP lays it out — briefly, since we still have the postgame hangover too.
What was up with that starting lineup?
Brad Davis led the league in assists. The Union’s midfield formation is shaped like a cloud. And what about the new man Camargo? PSP’s Adam Cann and Eli Pearlman-Storch take a look at the battle in the midfield.
The regular season is no more. Neither is the away goals rule. That should mean one thing for the Union: ATTACK!!!!!!!!!
Both All-Stars. Both big. Both in their first season as a MLS starter. Who has the advantage in goal? The Union with The Dragon or the Dynamo with Tally Hall?
Peter Nowak might have a claim to MLS executive of the year, but his questionable lineup choices have cost the Union points for two years. Now it’s playoff time, and there will be no decision more important for the Union than the starting lineups. This is Nowak’s time to prove he’s truly a great coach. Will he do it?
