The just announced friendly against Celtic will take place Wednesday, July 14 at 8pm and is included as part of the season ticket package. Pricing and on-sale date for non-season ticket holders will be announced later this month.
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.
The Union travel to Utah to face the defending champs, who have struggled just as much as the Union have. Neither team has played to its potential. The Union could be without three regulars, but they still go in with the chance to steal three points from Real Salt Lake.
Manchester United will play the Union on the second stop of their summer tour of North America. Ticket details are yet to be announced.
Philadelphia Union need to drop the tough guy act. This is soccer, not hockey or American football. The discipline and beauty of soccer calls for a scalpel as a opposed to the precision of a machete. Aggression is certainly needed but in a highly controlled manner.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the bright side of Saturday’s shock-to-no-one loss to the LA Galaxy. You may have sworn that if you hear one more writer praise the Union’s “resolve” after another loss, you’re gonna punch the nearest Girl Scout. But the resolve in this case actually led to something both impressive […]
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.
Alright, Union. Saturday you’re playing LA. Yes, that LA, the best team in the MLS right now. Yes, the ones who get their goals from league-leading scoremeister Edson Buddle, and their swagger from gracefully aging bendmeister Dave Beckham AND Premier League-worthy Landon Donovan. They’re kinda good.
But that’s no reason to approach them humbly. Here’s your pep talk.
Los Angeles should provide a stern test for our shaky expansion team. The Galaxy have opened the season undefeated with 4 wins and a draw in their first 5 games. After knocking off Salt Lake City, Houston, Chivas, and New England, the Galaxy were held to a goalless draw by Kansas City […]
Philadelphia Union, meet the best team in the league. The Los Angeles Galaxy have the league’s best record, best player, top scorer, best coach and possibly the best back line. The Union won’t have leading scorer Sebastien Le Toux. We have the game preview.
