Ya got your tickets, where ya gonna park?

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.
Preview: Philadelphia Union at Chicago Fire
The Union continue the road trip from hell but do it coming off a big 3-2 win last week over Houston, their first ever road win. The Fire are a team in flux, struggling to cope with the loss of several key starters, but they have one of the best home fields in the league. PSP previews the match.
