US and Mexican international goalkeepers Tony Meola and Adolfo Rios put on a surprise soccer clinic for the West Philadelphia Hurricanes Youth Soccer Club on the eve of the USA-Mexico showdown. The PSP was there to catch the action.
PSP photographer Daniel Gajdamowicz was on hand for Tuesday’s USMNT training session at the NovaCare Complex. Here’s a look at what he saw.
The last Independence home game of the regular season was Fan Appreciation Night and the team showed their appreciation with a 2-1 win. PSP photographer Mike Long has the pictures.
The number of wins and draws in the last eleven games is almost an identical reverse of the first eleven games – what gives?. Also a quick look at the stats from Saturday’s draw before a look at the consistency question: having started seven different forward combinations and 15 different midfield combinations, where’s the offensive consistency supposed to come from?
Valdes can play against Dallas thanks to good behavior, Bob Bradley could be heading up Egypt, and Michael Orozco-Fiscal talks about his time on the Union as he returns to Philadelphia with the USMNT.
Full match report and player ratings from the Independence’s last gasp win against Sky Blue last night.
Despite having the better chances, the Union again failed to come away with maximum points. Between some dubious refereeing decisions, questionable substitutions and a player who is becoming synonymous with failure, the Union remain on the skids.
Reaction to Saturday’s draw. Everyone thought Le Toux’s shot was going in. Let’s have a lift the Le Touch curse party. Valdes leaps to no. 7 in Castrol Index. Late Sanderson goal puts Independence over Sky Blue. Eastern Conference roundup. Klinsmann quotes, more news.
Another frustrating tie means it’s time to start asking how this team should be handled during the latter stages of the season.
