A little Union news, a little MLS news, some news from around the world and – abracadabra- it’s your Wednesday morning news roundup.
2010 was one for the ages when it comes to soccer in the Philadelphia area. We take a look back at what made 2010 such a special year.
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.
