PSP’s Season Review series kicks off today and will run for the next two weeks: For Philadelphia Union, it’s nine years and counting without a playoff win, but those Union fans got an exciting season with often beautiful soccer that could provide the sort of optimism they haven’t had in years.
The Union were one of MLS’s best teams from May 10 until they stepped on the Yankee Stadium pitch. PSP’s Dan Walsh breaks down what went wrong at the end and notes that, on the whole this year, Jim Curtin deserves more credit than blame.
Check out Ryan Griffith’s photos of the Union’s loss to NYCFC on Decision Day.
With an all-important rematch against NYC on the horizon, what can the Union learn from Sunday’s shabby outing?
Plus local scores, Lionel Messi in Cirque du Soleil show, UPSL hire East Coast Director, and more.
Or; what can be learned from beating two USL teams in a trench coat.
