Nobody seems to know what the Union will do in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft; experts have predicted everything from defenders to wingers for Philly with the No. 13 pick. PSP looks at potential Union targets at wing, defender and striker.
The Union finished 2011 with two strong candidates for the central attacking midfield job. When 2012 begins, they may not have either. What are the Union to do?
Peter Nowak has a lot of roles to play for the Philadelphia Union. From bringing in players to organizing them on the pitch, 2011 was a mixed bag for the Union chief. But if he learned one thing this year, it was how to interact with the fans. Through Twitter and a better understanding of what it means to be the face of a beloved franchise, Nowak embraced the Union’s 12th man. What will 2012 hold for the biggest name on the Union?
The PSP offers some gut reactions to the release of the Union’s 2012 schedule.

Home opener on Mar. 18 will be against Colorado. 14 games will be nationally televised. The Union will host New York, DC and New England at PPL twice.
The PSP takes a look at the Union’s little engine that could and hopes the team will secure his future in Philadelphia.
