The Union look to rebound quickly from disappointment, while Chicago’s focus is elsewhere. Not a good idea for a last place team. It has all the makings of a Union romp, but can Danny Mwanga and Sebastien Le Toux finish their chances?
What the Union players and coaches are saying ahead of tonight’s game in Chicago. Plus: match previews from across the web, power rankings, USMNT roster announcement possibilities, a bag of fish and much more.
Nakazawa and Mapp struggled mightily against Colorado, Mwanga and Le Toux can’t find the back of the net and the Union’s lack of width bites them in the ass yet again. What else is new? Oh yeah, Carlos Ruiz is gone.

Reaction to the Real Madrid friendly. In league action, Columbus now even with Union on points, NY one point behind. More news.
They came to see Ronaldo and the stars of Madrid. They left talking of Michael Farfan, checking their cell phones to see replays of an incredible goal. The Union lost 2-1 to Real Madrid, but a strong performance should give the team confidence heading into the second half of the MLS season.
With the Jordan Harvey trade looming large over the Union, they are granted a bit of a reprieve with Steven Lenhart’s suspension. The PSP previews a Union team that should be able to get the job done in San Diego.
With the Union halfway through the season, PSP reviews the performance of each player on the team, with ratings and comments for each player.
Playing on the road following a trans-continental flight is awfully difficult even when you have your best players on the pitch. When you select some of your worst, it’s damn near impossible. (No photos today, too angry to think up witty captions).
Reaction to Saturday’s draw: poor officiating v inability to put a team away. Meanwhile, some RSL blogger moans on about Nowak. Eastern Conference results. Independence becomes first team to squelch Flash. That Hassli goal. Reaction to USMNT loss, more news.
