Poetry Corner Kicks examines how the Union beat the Columbus Jersey-Fails.
I like surprises. The Philadelphia Union’s performance against Columbus Crew SC was as predictable as the weather in March. Which is to say, no one could have predicted it. A late injury scratch for Vincent Nogueira, somewhat coherent back line play, two goals from Chris Pontius, all in a location where the Union had yet to win? The only thing we fans could have predicted was that Andre Blake would be fantastic yet again, and even then he managed to defy logic with some of his saves.
