At the midpoint of the 2011 MLS season the Philadelphia Union sit atop the Eastern Conference with a record of 7-4-6. They have already recorded more clean-sheets than they did in the entire 2010 season and have earned more road points than last season. PPL Park has been a fortress, as the Union has yet […]

One point. One point out of a possible six in their last two matches which were against the bottom team in each division. That is all the 1st place team in the Eastern Conference earned.

On Wednesday night the Union look to continue their home unbeaten streak when they face Sporting KC at PPL Park.

[…]

Disappointing. That sums up Saturday’s Philadelphia Union result versus Real Salt Lake. Going into the game I would have said that a 1-1 draw would be a descent result, but that changed once the Union started to dominate play early in the match. There has been a lot of talk about the poor officiating in […]

The Philadelphia Union will try to extend their home undefeated streak this Saturday when they face Real Salt Lake at 4 PM eastern time. This will be RSL’s 3rd game in 8 days.

The Philadelphia Union grinded out a point against the defending MLS Cup Champion Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Good Park. Peter Novak decided to start Jack McInerney up top in place of Danny Mwanga. That choice seemed a little strange to me as Mwanga scored 2 goals in the Union’s last match, but McInerney played […]

The Philadelphia Union’s 2nd trip out to the west coast went as well as their 1st, another 1-nil loss. This time at the hands of the Portland Timbers. The Union were forced to start the game with only 2 of their regulars on the back line. Jordan Harvey was out due to suspension and Danny […]

On a wind driven rainy afternoon, the Philadelphia Union dropped their first points at home this season.
