Philadelphia Union faced points leaders, Nashville SC on Saturday night. A case of David vs Goliath, they seemed destined to get destroyed. Coming off a 2-0 loss against Columbus Crew, moral seemed low. Union has home advantage for this game at Subaru Park but home advantage has proved to be much of a difference for the boys in blue this season.  First Half Review Union came swinging out the gates surprisingly as they seemed to be in Nashville's half majority of the time. A huge factor to this could be due to the fact that Nashville were playing their B team. Their best players like Espinoza or Mukhtar were on the bench to start the game. Cavan Sullivan was a starter for the third time this season. He proved to be a handful to the Nashville defense as he made many runs and played a few dangerous passes into the box but the score stayed leveled at the end of the first half Second Half Review The second half featured more of the same with Nashville having a few more attacks. Bo...

  May the 4th be with you ! Philadelphia Union celebrate Star Wars weekend by facing Nashville SC at home. Nashville enter this game top of the league whilst Union sit at the very bottom where they've sat for the past 3 weeks now. Usually we would be calling home advantage but Union have managed to only score 1 point across 5 home games now. Our form has not been great coming into this game and we need our strikers to start striking.  What to Expect This will be a matter of damage limitation. Our defense hasn't exactly been bad and we haven't been conceding lots of goals. We currently sit tied for 8th across the Eastern Conference in terms of goals conceded despite being bottom of the table. Our biggest loss has been by 2 goals. Leaving this game with any points will be a huge win regardless of whether we'll still be bottom of the table or not. We are definitely not the worst team in the MLS currently and i'd even say that we're playoff worthy if we just get ...

  Philadelphia Union capped off a busy week as they played their 3rd game in a week on Saturday night. During their 2nd straight away game, Columbus Crew ended our unbeaten streak of 3 games. This 2-0 loss keeps us last in standings with 5 points. The playoff qualifiers positions are currently sitting 7 points ahead.  First Half Review Columbus Crew came out the gates blazing with a goal in the 5' minute by Max Aftsten. He almost doubled their lead seconds later but Andre Blake pulled off an impressive save. Union were on the attack for the rest of the half with Iloski hitting the woodwork on the 15' minute. They had more chances after but they just couldn't find the net. In stoppage time of the first half, Harriel tried blocking a pass into the box but misjudged it and scored an own goal right before half time.  Second Half Review Union couldn't find many opportunities with their sole chance that made Columbus' crew work coming in the 64' minute. The gam...
