The ASG could possibly feature Williams and Valdes on defense. That’d be great.

First four goal game in MLS for the Union, I believe.

This is correct. In fact, this game sets a record for most combined goals in a Philadelphia Union match.

I think Taylor Twellman may have just tacitly admitted to getting high on spray paint before.

No stoppage time. There was no point. 6-2 final.

The ref does not even give this game stoppage time

That’s gotta be insulting for TFC.

That drops TFC’s GD to a league low -10… and raises the Union’s to +5 !
