Union draw Chivas, Califf wants more

The Union got a much needed point on the road against Chivas. But the promise of their strong start in the match was not matched by a strong finish and Captain Califf says a point on the road is not enough.

The Union play their best match ever, dominating Seattle for most of the game thanks to great ball control by their midfielders and highlight reel goalkeeping from Chris Seitz. PSP reviews the game with post-game analysis, video highlights, photos and player ratings.

Postgame: Fire 2-1 Union

Philadelphia Union lost 2-1 to the Chicago Fire on Saturday in what was one of the most boring displays of soccer put on in a long time. The Fire packed 10 men back and did a poor Italy imitation. Still, there was some bright spots for the Union, and PSP covers them and hands out player ratings.

Wrap-up: Real Salt Lake 3-0 Philadelphia Union

At this point in the season, it’s cliched to say that the only thing consistent about the Philadelphia Union is inconsistency. Every game somebody seems to take a step forward while somebody else takes a step back. Kyle Nakazawa got his first start in the midfield while Jack McInerney slotted in next to Moreno up top. Danny Mwanga continued to hold down his spot at left bench.

Postgame wrap: Galaxy 3-1 Union

It could have gotten really, really ugly for Philadelphia Union. Three goals and a red card by halftime. Instead, the Union put in a respectable second half and showed some good signs for the future.

Wrap of Union USOC loss to Red Bulls

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.

The Union wrap: 2-1 loss to New York Red Bulls

Same Le Toux + same Seitz + same brain cramp = same result.

Unfortunately for the hundreds of SoBs and other supporters making their way to the gleaming Red Bull Arena for the first leg of the newly minted I-95 derby, this formula was all too apparent.
