Philly Union Fans

  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...

Where do I start. Despite us not getting the result we wanted, we had the most exciting game of our season thus far on Wednesday night. Some world class goals by our own and some late drama from Toronto ended the game at a 3:3 draw at BMO Field.   First Half Review Union mostly held possession for the first 20 minutes of the game with Westfield taking 2 free kicks that came dangerously close to going into the net. We saw 2 Toronto players get a yellow card in this duration. Toronto were the favorites going into this match and they started proving why during the 2nd half of the first half. Harriel had a save on the goal line on the 26' minute. Vassilev went down at the same time for about 5 minutes but he returned to the pitch shortly. On the 43' minute, Toronto's Josh Sargent had a clear shot on target in the box but Sery Larsen's tackle deflected the shot just in time to go wide. In the dying minutes of the first half's stoppage time, Lukic found Iloski maki...

  Philadelphia Union will be facing Toronto FC today at BMO Field in Ontario. Following a draw against DC United and their first win against Montreal , the boys in blue will hope to continue their points scoring ways. After going winless in their first 6 games, Union have scored 4 points in the last 2 games. What to expect Union played a very strong game on Saturday against DC with dominating almost every stat possible. The only thing we lacked was the finishing. Our midfield and defense did what they're expected to do and gave Andre Blake a calm game. Toronto has started their season off nearly perfectly. They've gone unbeaten in their last 6 games. As impressive as this is, half of those were draws. Their defensive side hasn't been the best recently as they've conceded more than Union this season but our attack has also been subpar. If Union can find a breakthrough and finish these goals, they could walk away with 3 points tonight.  Injury Report Sal Olivas (Ank...

  Philadelphia Union faced DC United on Saturday at Subaru Park. After winning at Montreal last week and securing 3 points, Philly look to carry the momentum to hopefully continue their playoff bid. The boys in Blue came into this game just 4 points shy of the playoff qualifiers which conveniently, DC United holds. A win here will be huge for our season and could flip the season around. First Half Recap Union straight up dominated the first half. Bueno, Alladoh, and Damiani all had great chances to score in this half but failed to do so. DC United's goalkeeper, Sean Johnson managed to keep DC in it throughout the first half. Despite being 4 points clear of Union, Union managed to have the upper hand. Second Half Recap Union continued what they did in the first half with firing non stop shots and creating opportunities. Shot after shot, they just couldn't get past Johnson. After a long scoreless game, Union settled for a draw and they had to leave Subaru Park with 1 more point. ...

  Philadelphia Union faced 14th place Montreal on Saturday at Saputo Stadium in Canada for a clash between the bottom of the table. Both teams have had a horrible start to this season in MLS and need all the points they can get. Philadelphia in particular are 0-6 before this game.  First Half Review Philly started off strong as they held control for the first 10 minutes. Montreal were awarded a penalty on the 13' minute but was denied after further VAR review as Andre Blake got a touch on the ball. 10 minutes later, Montreal's Iván Jaime put the ball in the back of the net to let Montreal go one goal clear of Philadelphia. As the whistle was blown, Philadelphia went to their locker rooms trailing by a goal once again Second Half Review Philly netted an equalizer ten minutes into the 2nd half through Union's Sery Larsen .  A huge goal gave the boys in blue some hope as the scored was leveled once more. 15 minutes later, Jesús Bueno whipped it into the net to help U...

  Philadelphia Union will be facing Charlotte FC on Saturday night. The boys in blue have started the season with 5 straight losses, the worst start to a season in club history. Philly will be heading to Bank of America Stadium hoping to score their first points of the season.  Expected Lineups In goal, we can expect Andre Blake as per usual. Jamaica barely missed qualifying for the World Cup so Blakes horrible year keeps getting worse. Not much he can do as he has been the backbone of this team for years now. In defense, we expect to see Westfield , Makhanya , Harriel , and Ndinga . Westfield has shown some great bright spots this season. The only real bright spot of our defense. He's been receiving some of the highest match ratings of all the players this season and has played crucial for this current team. The midfield expects to see Lukic , Vasillev , Jacques , and Iloski . No real bright spots here. Finally, in the attack, we expect to see Damiani and Anello . I e...
