Welcome home, Philadelphia Union. After five straight road games (all losses), the Union finally get another home game Saturday, with FC Dallas coming to town. Dallas is clicking on all cylinders but one — they can’t seem to finish. Will that help the Union pull off an upset?
The Union travel to Utah to face the defending champs, who have struggled just as much as the Union have. Neither team has played to its potential. The Union could be without three regulars, but they still go in with the chance to steal three points from Real Salt Lake.
It could have gotten really, really ugly for Philadelphia Union. Three goals and a red card by halftime. Instead, the Union put in a respectable second half and showed some good signs for the future.
Philadelphia Union, meet the best team in the league. The Los Angeles Galaxy have the league’s best record, best player, top scorer, best coach and possibly the best back line. The Union won’t have leading scorer Sebastien Le Toux. We have the game preview.
The Union and the Red Bulls go at it again tonight, except this time it’s a U.S. Open Cup qualifier. It won’t be on TV, and the Red Bulls will sit some starters. Here’s a preview.
Same Le Toux + same Seitz + same brain cramp = same result.
