Philadelphia Union: Your Go‑To Spot for All Things MLS
If you’re a Union fan, you know the buzz around every goal, trade rumor, and training session. This page pulls together the hottest stories so you don’t have to chase them across dozens of sites. From match recaps to player spotlights, we’ve got the stuff that matters most to people who live for soccer in Philly.
Recent Results
The Union rolled into their latest home game with a 2‑1 win over Atlanta United, thanks to a late strike from Kacper Przybylko. The goal sent the crowd at Subaru Park into a frenzy and pushed Philly up two spots in the Eastern Conference. Earlier in the week, they held on for a gritty draw against New York Red Bulls, with goalkeeper Matt Freese pulling off three key saves that kept the clean sheet intact.
Stat heads will love that the team is now averaging 1.6 goals per game and has improved its possession rate to 53%. Those numbers show a side that’s finally clicking on both ends of the pitch, especially after a shaky start to the season.
What to Watch This Season
Keep an eye on the new midfield signing Mark McKenzie. The former Nashville star brings energy and defensive grit, and early minutes suggest he’ll be a key link between the back line and the attacking trio. Also, watch the young winger Luis Silva, who’s been buzzing off the bench with his pace and quick feet.
Coaching decisions are another big story. Head coach Jim Curtin has hinted at a shift to a more aggressive pressing style, which could change how the Union battles top‑ranked opponents. If you follow tactical trends, the upcoming clash against DC United will be a perfect test of that new approach.
Off the field, the Union’s community outreach continues to grow. Their “Soccer for All” program is bringing youth clinics to neighborhoods across Philadelphia, and tickets are being sold at reduced rates for local schools. It’s a reminder that the club isn’t just about wins; it’s about building a soccer culture in the city.
All this means there’s always something fresh to talk about when you’re into the Union. Bookmark this page, check back often, and stay tuned for breaking news, player interviews, and deep‑dive analysis that keeps you ahead of the game.
