Two games left, and still there’s plenty that you’re talking and thinking about with the Union. PSP runs through several key points, including whether Torres is back, Williams is done, Valdes is world class and Jack Mac is more than just a “good young player.”
It all went wrong for the Union in Houston, but most alarming for the coaching staff and supporters was the lack of hustle and effort over the 90 minutes.
The Union were outplayed and outhustled for 90 minutes on Saturday night, falling 3-1 to the now playoff-bound Houston Dynamo.
