There's everyone's lord and savior Shannon with the patented half ass jog toward the shot tha became a goal.
I guess the Montreal win really hurt. The Union's playoff chances with this win actually went from 0.7% to 1.5%. Does the 70% empty PPL park send the FO a message or do they have a built in excuse?
Love that Coyle still makes Williams take throw ins on the opposite side in order to set up those long throws.
Eagles game will be the excuse and I can't say I disagree too much with it. I honestly don't see how the U get any kind of good attendance numbers with an Eagles Cowboys game playing on the same day even if we were in the hunt for the Shield or in a legitimate playoff chase.
That was a fun night! Seems the Union always play better when the stadium is half empty. Had the shooting been better then it could have been 5-0.
And yet the sad truth is we're worse. Houston: 9 - 12 - 8 (1.21) -3 Philadelphia: 9 - 15 - 6 (1.10) -9 At least we can laugh at Chicago.
If TFC makes the playoffs this year we will be the only non-2015 expansion team that hasn't made the playoffs at least once in the past 4 years. But, yeah, let's laugh at Houston instead of addressing the fact that we suck.
I didn't go because quite frankly I just didn't care enough to go. I forgot my parking pass, so instead I spent $10 on gas and drove up to Allentown to watch Birds/Union on couch with friends then drive down to PPL and pay $10 in church parking lot. Post game quotes from Le Toux according to Dave and De George (or whatever his name is, again i don't care enough to link it). They were along the lines of, "It is a good stat, I guess," referring being part of the 50/50 club that only 9 people or so have ever done (2 active players), and "It was good so you all stop asking about it," Referring to Barrnetta first goal. Also something along the lines of, "my stats do not matter unless I am Donovan or Giovinco" he said I believe.... Weird from him.
I thought that was about as good as I've ever seen the Union play. I'm not sure a home game on a Sunday night when the Eagles are home playing the Cowboys was a great idea. 14k announced is as low as it's been in a while.
