To call the Philadelphia Union’s season a roller coaster as we reach the midway point would be quite the understatement. The Union set the record for the longest win-less streak along with the longest winning streak in club history in the exact same month. Definitely quite the turnaround.
Their issues stem back to last off-season, as the club tried to continue to improve after squeaking into the playoffs on goal difference. To round out the roster, the club took a chance on two intriguing prospects, one a former World Cup starter with a mountain of injuries behind him, the other an unknown English player coming out of college.
