A good road team against a good home team. A strong offense against a great defense. A team with a tenuous grip on the playoffs and a team looking for a foothold. Guess what, Union fans: The playoffs start tonight.
US Soccer has released its evaluation of its 2010-2011 Development Academy members, three of which – FC Delco, PA Classics and Players Development Academy -are part of the Philadelphia Union’s Youth Development Affiliate program. Here’s how they did.
Update on Sheanon Williams’ injury status.
Danny Mwanga hasn’t scored in three months. With Le Toux proof that a goalless slump can be decisively put to rest, and the Union’s playoff hopes on the line, it is time for Mwanga to find his voice.
An acceptable tie with many strong performances. Michael Farfan and Roger Torres led the way for a Union side that definitely has its swagger back.
“And I applaud the team because there was a lot of heart, even in a very difficult situation, a very physical game, they did the job done so it’s a very positive sign especially being behind and then also the young group we have.” Peter Nowak applauds the Union, what did you think?
It’s not just that the Union can’t lose, it’s that they can’t let KC win. Another tough test for the boys in navy and gold as they travel to Livestrong Park and face a revitalized Sporting side with a shot at first place in the East on the line.
A spokesperson for the Union confirms that Williams suffered a concussion during Saturday’s match against the Columbus Crew and that doctors are still evaluating the severity of the injury. [Updated]
Against Columbus, the Union defense continued a turnaround that began in the second half against New England. Plus, everyone’s favorite Frenchman’s numbers have been off the chart over the past six games since the return of Le touch – ooh la la!
