The madness of the MLS in Covid season continues with yet another Philadelphia Union game tonight in D.C., bringing with it a chance for another player to step up and play the role of hero in what has been a full team effort under less than ideal circumstances.
Just three points separate the Union not only from first place in the East but also a piece of hardware and a Champions League berth, albeit one that will come with an asterisk.
Head coach Jim Curtin, who was rewarded with starting Ilsinho in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Montreal, will again have to shuffle the deck to cover for absences.
