The Philadelphia Union would be forgiven for rolling back their 2019 effort in 2020 and hoping that things fall their way. With a few different bounces of the balls here and there, the margins falling the way of Jim Curtin’s side rather not, they might have made a run at an MLS Cup.
As it were, in 2019, the Union did win a playoff game, their first in their existence, but they also fell to Atlanta United in the next round, the Five Stripes consummate in a 2-0 victory that illustrated their superior talent at every level.
