Saturday night’s Philadelphia Union victory shows exactly why you invest over the offseason.
After the most successful campaign in club history, the Union could’ve just ran it back in 2022. A year after taking home the Supporters Shield, Philadelphia reached the Eastern Conference Finals of the MLS Cup Playoffs. If not for losing nearly the entire starting 11 to Covid protocols, the Union might’ve defeated New York City and then the Portland Timbers for the entire MLS Cup.
Few were hotter than the Union down the stretch, losing only one match of their last 12 after their Concacaf Champions League Finals run.
