A win tonight and the Union guarantee themselves at least the second seed and a week off to prepare for the Eastern Conference semifinals. A draw or a loss, and its going to be a long weekend. UPDATED with final standings scenarios straight from the Union!
One game. Everything on the line.
This is the stuff that rivalries are made of.
Philadelphia Union vs. the New York Red Bulls. On national TV. It’s so on.
A beautiful opener from Sebastien Le Toux was not enough as the Union dropped two points at home to Toronto. The silver lining is that the Union are in the playoffs.
The win in Seattle. DC and Chicago losses. The final standings predictions table has been updated!
Yeah, that was a big win against Seattle. So what? It’s not as big a match as the next one, which has “trap game” written all over it. Here’s some perspective on both games.
Freddy Adu got his second and Brian Carroll his first as the Union outplayed and dispatched Seattle and took over first place in the east.
