With 11 games to play, the Union are in a tight playoff race with Montreal Impact, New England Revolution, and maybe even Toronto FC. We dive into the upcoming schedules for each team, focusing on the quality of their opponents and how much rest they have between games.
Next, the Union Pitchside Pod takes you Ernst-side - we have an extended interview with new Union sporting director Ernst Tanner. Give it a listen and send any questions you think we missed to pitchsidepodcast@philadelphiaunion.com.
Last, we jump off from last week's games, which included a win to send the Union back to the US Open Cup final and Jack Elliott's unlikely brace against New England Revolution to look back at the 1960 US Open Cup between Philly's own Ukrainian Nationals and Los Angeles Kickers, a match in which Mike Noha scored more than double what Elliott managed against the Revs (Five! He scored five %$#& goals!). Something to work toward, Jack!
