Philadelphia Union in the Media

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/08/...acper-przybylko-and-now-he-cant-stop-scoring/

Sunderland media angry they didn't sign Kacper

 

"...with Philadelphia Union, scoring 15 times in 23 games to fire The Us to second in the table..."

So now we are the "U"s? So many mascot options with that...

 

We have a nickname! We made it!

 

Reminds me of that lady that thought we were chanting 'FU at the first game.

 

Well, in fairness, someone in the crowd probably was.

 

It's actually a very "Philly" nickname..."U's Guys" instead of "yous guys"

 

Great Ilsinho article in The Athletic. (Subscription required)

Honestly that $1.50 1/4 lbs hot dog with soda deal they got is one of the great things about America.

 

Having to wait in a line for an hour so someone can check your cart to see if you stole something is one of the bad things about America.

 

A feel good article about the potential of the Union this season.

Literally read that article in line waiting to return something at Costco today. (No line on the way out at my store)

 

'merica.

 

https://www.fifa.com/news/the-week-in-numbers-x7583 says:

"27 minutes is, incredibly, all it has taken Philadelphia Union to average a goal this season when Ilsinho has been on the pitch. The Eastern Conference leaders have a +26 goal difference in the mere 893 minutes the Brazilian magician has played, and a -14 one when he hasn’t."

 

That statistic is insane. +27 When he's on the field, and -14 when is he isn't? Even though he's "only" got 6 goals and 8 assists this season, that shows how much attention defenses pay him to free up space elsewhere on the field.

 

That is absolutely astonishing.

 

I once saw someone return a 3/4 used Salsa. America died that day. I've never been back to Costco.

Beat LA?

 

Nick Pugliese of WHYY got to be in a Union Fantasy Soccer camp. Here is the story: https://whyy.org/articles/from-kabu...cer-pro-gets-second-chance-with-philly-union/

 

It was "media day" not "fantasy camp." If it were Union Fantasy Camp, many of us from here would have torn our ACLs that day.

 

So the Union's win today led the 11PM edition of Sportscenter..........I wonder if the local stations will even mention that the Union played today...let alone that they won a playoff game?

 

I predict no tv or radio show will even mention the win. The only thing being talked about this week is the Eagles loss.

 

Eagles lost so bad (and Flyers lost to Dallas also) Fox 29 actually talked about it AND showed highlights

 

WHYY just mentioned the Union win and the next match on Thursday.

 

caught 6abc for a few minutes this morning. No mention of the Union, but "highlights" of the eagles game. so much for a "broadcast partner".
