Vote Le Toux, Mwanga, Salinas for goal of the season, PSP for best soccer blog. Mwanga is in the clear and the fall and rise of Sheanon Williams. New player movement rules for MLS? Clinton to represent US in WC bid final presentation. Impact is out of control, there are a thousand tennis balls on the pitch, Footy on the Telly and more morning news.
The Union gave Sheanon Williams a chance to prove his worth in MLS. He has repaid their confidence and looks poised to make the right back job all his own.
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.
UPDATED: An Edson Buddle goal from a David Beckham corner kick was the difference as the Union fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Galaxy before a record crowd at PPL Park. PSP has postgame analysis, player ratings, photos and video highlights.
The Galaxy are a very good MLS team. What do the Union need to do in the offseason to join the league’s elites?
The PSP has photos from Saturday’s draw between the Philadelphia Union and the Houston Dynamo.
Peter Nowak rested some regulars and played the kids in a 1-1 draw against Houston. PSP has postgame analysis, player ratings and video highlights.
Four days after recording their statistically biggest win ever, Philadelphia Union suffered their worst loss ever with a 4-1 defeat Wednesday to the Colorado Rapids. Not terribly surprising after having to flying across the country to play a game at altitude on less than four days rest. Among other things.
We roundup previews of tonight’s match against the Rapids, toss with some nonsense from the local papers, mix in some local college and high school results, bake with some US soccer news, top with some bits from elsewhere and serve with a side of what games are on TV today. Voila!
