No hyperbole, this is easily the most important match of the year so far for the Philadelphia Union, for a multitude of reasons. The stage is set on Sunday at Subaru Park for the Union to take back first place, right their shaky journey back on the right track, and really make a statement to the rest of the Eastern Conference.
It has been a bit of a rough season on the pitch by recent standards for the Union. While they are still firmly in contention for the crown in the East, they’ve struggled in recent months to simply win games.
