Poetry Corner Kicks - If Christina Rosetti was a soccer fan.

The tie between the Philadelphia Union and the San Jose Earthquakes had a bit of history in the air, but not the good kind. In previous years, the Union would score a goal, go up a man, look inept, give up the tying (or losing) goal, and drop points at home. Thankfully, the Union do not look inept anymore and though they gave up a game-tying goal while up a man, it was because of the play of a rookie starter, Joshua Yaro, who should learn from this and get better. The fact that the Union are regularly playing such young talent (Fabian Herbers, Ken Tribbett, Keegan Rosenberry, Joshua Yaro, even Richie Marquez) is very encouraging.
