As last year’s academy graduates leave to pursue college, the beginning of the new school year provides and opportunity to meet new young players. Brendan Burke sets out evaluative criteria and introduces us to some of them.
Philadelphia’s playoff chances actually increase a bit, but nowhere near as far as they need to. Bethlehem shows its belly and joins the fray of teams fighting for playoff slots.
The Union are mired in a seasons-long stretch of frustrating impotence, and Chris and Jeremy are slowly coming to grips with it. It’s not pretty, and there might be some ugly-crying on this episode (metaphorical, of course).
The Union’s remaining schedule doesn’t look good. PSP’s Dan Walsh breaks it down game-by-game to lay out what their playoff chances really look like. Also, some chatter about some young Union players who need to get some minutes.
The Union have signed 126 players to first-team contracts in their history. Let’s remember some guys. Peter Andrews walks us through the good, the bad, the ugly, and the Mbolhi.
The Union can’t hack it away from Chester, Trusty and Jones take on Chivas, a study in how to rebuild a losing team, and maybe this time Miami to MLS is really happening, maybe?
The Union were undone by a strategy that exposed their fullbacks and their lack of attacking cohesion.
It’s not quite August, but another critical β and seriously disheartening β loss to a fellow Eastern Conference contender may spell the end of the Union’s playoff hopes. Did anyone show up to play? Check the ratings.
