Union prep for “perhaps the biggest game” in club history | Philadelphia Union
September 17, 2011 Leave a Comment
A few months ago the only issue with the Union was the missing offense. A few months later, the offense is still a mystery and the defense has gotten shaky or the rest of Major League Soccer has cracked the Union’s code on the back four.
Despite the lack of production up front and the defensive lapses at times, the Union is still at a +5 goal differential for the season and its 30 goals allowed is second best in MLS.
Philly hasn’t won since July and the comfortable lead once enjoyed in the Eastern Conference is gone. Now, the Union comes into Saturday night’s match five points behind leaders Columbus with a game in-hand. A win would have the Union leap-frog Houston and draw within a point of Sporting Kansas City.
