It didn’t take long for all of Major League Soccer to fall in love with goalkeeper Andre Blake the way Storrs, Connecticut did. The former UConn men’s soccer standout is a two-time MLS All-Star, the 2020 All State MLS Goalkeeper of the year, and now a rich man after inking a contract extension with the Philadelphia Union through 2024, with a club option for 2025.
Blake made a lot of American soccer fans nervous last night, though, when Jamaica took the U.S. men’s national team to the brink in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
