We get an angry 4-1 win after a disappointing draw in their house.

Phillyspur · Jul 1, 2019

Looking forward to posting in the wrong thread

We better get a win during a humid hot night

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Union42 · Jul 3, 2019

Apparently Orlando will be without Jansson AND Kljestan for this one.

Apparently??? Definitely. Red cards carry a game suspension with them.

Well, yeah. Of course. I was being sarcastical.

EdBacon · Jul 5, 2019

Orlando seems to think they'll play better without Kljestan.

DoctorD · Jul 5, 2019

Should the game time forecast be changed? Looks like a lot of thunderstorms in the area.

Darkwing McQuack · Jul 5, 2019

Jamiro Monteiro willl not be available for tomorrow’s game. Waiting on X-rays. Blake expected to start in net.

Probably. But I try to do these threads about a week or so out from the game, and after (I think) a couple days it won't let me edit it anymore. I've looked for some kind of embeddable weather widget but haven't found anything usable yet. But it's a poor craftsman who blames his tools, so here goes:

GAMETIME FORECAST:

A shower or heavy thunderstorm

Don’t you know that’s not allowed this season. Apparently we have to be super serious now. I keep getting snarky responses when I try to have the same fun this year we’ve had in the past.

Sorry. I'll try to be good from now on so I don't get a second yellow card.

Looper121 · Jul 6, 2019

Don't forget to put your sarcasm in red font...

Cherry Hill SOB · Jul 6, 2019

Not gonna be there tonight since I donated my tix for an auction and they actually sold for close to face value.

Hope it goes well. Looks like Fabian finally gets a start and Collin in the back as well. Will be slow as molasses v a fast team so hopefully that doesn't bite us.

LiverpoolFanatic · Jul 6, 2019

Any word on when the match will kick off?

Phillyspur · Jul 6, 2019

5 defenders on the bench. Fontana and Santos the other 2.

jaykoz3 · Jul 6, 2019

Tonight's Union-Orlando City game is postponed.
Time and Date for the rescheduled game are TBD.#PHIvORL

Union42 · Jul 6, 2019

So if this is postponed to a date other than tomorrow, Kljestan and Jannson will serve their suspensions against the Union and not their next league game, right?

Edit: Moot point...looks like the game will be at 4:30 tomorrow

jaykoz3 · Jul 6, 2019

Game will be played tomorrow at 4:30PM

I was hoping it would be later in the season so I could make it, but nope I'll be missing this one after all.

Starpork · Jul 6, 2019

Postponing until tomorrow is ********ing ridiculous. Who's going back to PPL all over again?

Hope they're giving out refunds.

Phillyspur · Jul 6, 2019

Highly doubtful. MLS will prioritize Orlando's travel costs over the fans inconvenience and cost. Stadium will be half empty I expect.

There are one or two other little tournaments going on tomorrow, also.

jaykoz3 · Jul 6, 2019

Orlando is...........salty:

Tonight’s match against Philadelphia has been rescheduled to tomorrow (Sunday) at 4:30pm. We fought hard to postpone the match to a later date in respect to tomorrow’s cup finals and our upcoming Open Cup match on Wednesday, but ultimately the decision fell to League officials. pic.twitter.com/xfHsO8gElW

Other than not being able to go to the game, I'm fine with it. This should help the Union.

DoctorD · Jul 7, 2019

So what happened to the guy who was taken out on a stretcher out the North Gate?
