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.
Plus Vancouver Whitecaps announce new coach, U-20’s won w/Fontana hat trick, Champions League roundup, and more.
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.
Plus: Señor Wayne heads back to Blighty, Union-lead U20s dominate CONCACAF, and FIFA corruption
Plus Mark McKenzie and Ilsinho recognized, Bethlehem Steel in photos, Dallas lost to 10-man Portland, and more.
With an all-important rematch against NYC on the horizon, what can the Union learn from Sunday’s shabby outing?
