Who should the Union protect? Who will they lose? And what the hell are the real rules to this thing? (Some of what you’ve read elsewhere is wrong.) PSP breaks it down with an entirely too detailed preview.
Independence player Caroline Seger nominated for FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year; Union expansion draft predictions; local college roundup; Newcastle wants Donovan; TFC supporters’ posteriors kissed further; Cosmos want to be 20th; more FIFA zaniness; Germany 1954 World Cup winning team on meth; Paul the Octopus conspiracy; Chilean miners lose match, must go back down mine and more morning news.
The regular season ended in bizarre fashion: A midfielder in goal, Chris Seitz in goal, some silly telephone-shoe thing of a goal celebration and a loss, sadly.
Our raves series continues with a look at the only real winger on the Union’s roster, Shea Salinas.
The Union play their final game of the season Sunday with a trip to Columbus, and in case you didn’t notice, Philadelphia is playing some great soccer. PSP previews the game.
Who doesn’t love Roger Torres? He’s tremendously skilled and explosive. It’s something of a mystery why he disappeared a bit, but here’s why we love him and why we think he’ll be even better next season.
Philadelphia Union forward Alejandro Moreno has sacrificed goal-scoring glory for deep hold-up play this year, and it’s won him fans and critics. He talks about that, what it will take for the Union’s young prospects to become stars, and the Union’s locker room culture. It’s a revealing, insightful interview with a man who thinks like a coach and has been the ultimate team player for the Union. Co-hosts Greg & Dan also talk about the big win over NY and this week’s final game at Colombus.

The first Philadelphia Union player to get his own personal fan chant is the next to get his rave. With Danny Mwanga, there’s a lot to rave about.
You can live chat today with Le Toux on the Union website from 1:30pm; local college roundup; maybe Donovan will go to Everton after all, maybe not; the latest in the soon to be epic saga of Wayne Rooney and more morning news, made even more epic by the fact that this is PSP’s 1,000th post.
