Philadelphia Union visit the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night looking to keep their unbeaten streak and playoff hopes alive. PSP previews.
Philly native and San Jose Earthquakes star midfielder Bobby Convey sits in on this week’s KYW soccer podcast. He reveals what stopped him from playing for Philadelphia Union, his comeback from injury to all-star, his prospects for a return to the national team, and Philly’s youth soccer scene. Greg and Dan also talk about the Union, big signings by the Sounders and Red Bulls and the U.S.-Brazil friendly.
The local press thinks local soccer doesn’t “mean much,” barely covering regional, state and national championship appearances by area clubs. We look at four players born within a year of one another who played together or against one another in local high schools and clubs that are now successful professionals. Because those professionals, they gotta come from somewhere.
Some end-of-week news to talk about while you’re waiting to order your Union Dog at Saturday’s Union match against New England Revolution. Including mid-season grades, an excellent profile of a Philly soccer player from the 1950s, trade rumors and signings, WPS restructuring and an American four minute hat-trick against a Chelsea XI.
This is a look at five players, who might contribute to the US National Team during the 2014 World Cup qualifying cycle, which will most likely begin next year.
