Anyone know if this is going to be on Direct Kick since it’s a make up?

I do not know about Direct Kick.

It’s in the Broadcast Information, so I am assuming it is, though I do not know if there is a specific policy there regarding make-ups.

It is if you’re in Canada. The match is nationally televised across the US in Spanish on Galavision, so it’s blacked out on Direct Kick and MatchDay Live here.

Games on Galavision are typically not on Direct Kick since they are already being carried nationally.

Just amazing how easily we’ve been losing or drawing as of late. It doesn’t help we have a different line up every week just about, but still I don’t see the same fire as earlier in the season.

Yeah, lack of urgency, right? I mean, they’re playing fine so far tonight… generally they’ve been “fine” — perhaps deserving of a few more points than they’ve gotten recently, but then when has “fine” ever been good enough?

Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog

by Ben Feldman on Sep 7, 2011 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

One issue with our defense is that they must be largely exhausted. You just can’t send the same guys out there every single game playing for 90 minutes and expect them to not fade down the stretch. Depth is important.

Thoughts from somewhat of an "outsider".

Obviously I don’t follow the Union as closely as a number of you guys here, so I don’t know how accurate what I’m about to say is, but here’s some thoughts I’ve had recently:

The Union started out the year well overall, and seemed to have a good squad. Then some roster moves happened (not sure of the specifics) and they started to not do as well overall. What was the reason to change something that was working? ("If it’s not broke, don’t fix it’ idea).

Apparently the number of dollars the Union received was “overwhelming”, or something like that. An offer they couldn’t refuse, Nowak said.

I can’t watch because Matchday is blacked out… but I can’t imagine we could possibly get enough width on the field with Adu and Torres as our wingers. They both belong as central attacking midfielders in my mind. Is that being an issue?

Ahhh, I missed last weekend’s game (was away) and since we lost I never really bothered to read up on it.

it was a good gut feeling

we shoulda had Torres or Adu take that last kick, I mean I understand why Le Toux did, but he hasn’t been good on those all year

4-4. Maybe the greatest game ever in the history of MLS.

we let up 4 goals though

all in the first half. yeah we fought tough to come back, but it was NE, a team we killed 6-2 previous. We got lucky tonite to earn a point. still the excitment factor was insane

3-0, but they played better in Foxborough than they played in Toronto.

Hell yes we love getting destroyed

I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.

by SSreporters on Sep 7, 2011 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but they had a really tough ten minutes or so where Toronto got back from 3-0 to 3-2. Union played better overall in their 3-0 win in Foxborough, I’d argue.

Agreed

This may have helped more than a win. This is a team just showed more heart in 1 game than they have all year. I just hope this carries on throughout the season.

by sjm003 on Sep 7, 2011 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think you’re right. This may end up being a better result than a 1-0 or 2-0 win in a much more … standard match.

I still don’t know what to think of this.

I just hope MatchDay Live allows me to watch it in English through the archives. Classes are canceled tomorrow and my college town is flooded. It’s not like I’ve going anywhere.

hmm interesting research

break down the seasons matches and see where it started going wrong.

well, at least it’s a point. and the offense came alive.

Can anyone comment on the weak links in the game? Was there someone in particular on defense who was the problem? Or can I just blame Migs and a tired backline as I’m mentally doing.

by Laaaaazzz on Sep 7, 2011 10:08 PM EDT reply actions  

definitely blame Migs

but the leadership and direction of Mondragon was absolutely missing and was shown in a big way. We just didin’t close on them when they were around our box and let them take their rips. bad defense all around. Luckily, perhaps, Mondragon took them aside in the locker room because they came together better. offensively, we finished just enough to grab the draw. if we can put the two together…..but if is a word not an action.
