Just when everything seemed to be going perfectly for C.J. Sapong and the Philadelphia Union, the hulking American striker has found himself in a bit of a slump. He hasn’t scored or assisted in his past four games and has scored only one goal in his past seven. It’s not exactly what you’d want from […]

The Philadelphia Union have drawn three games in a row, but that doesn’t mean that they are off their flow. Anything but. You see, the Union are a unique brand of underdog. Most underdogs take on one of two personas. The ‘fast out of the gates’ persona or the ‘clinging on for dear life and […]

The Philadelphia Union are definitely one of the upstart teams of the season. They are coming off of several poor seasons in a row, but between a gelling cast of characters on the pitch and a new cast off the pitch, there was a lot of belief going into this season. Thus far, it is […]

The Philadelphia Union have taken the “surprise team of the year” award thus far into the season. They have beat Columbus at MAPFRE. They destroyed New England, and it could have been worse. They put down a red hot Orlando City. There is reason to be excited about this Union team and that reason it […]

Not many people expected much out of the Philadelphia Union this year and, granted, it is still too early to conclude one thing or another. But in the opening month of March, there has been one constant that gives hope to what could be a stunning year – Andre Blake. The Jamaican keeper had himself […]
