The Philadelphia Union hope to rebound from an embarrassing 5-3 defeat to New England. That's the good news. The bad news is are on the west coast playing the Los Angeles, I'm sorry, LA Galaxy.

Immediately following tonight's game I will be starting a petition to rename the Philadelphia Unio "PHL Union," pronounced "Phil Union." All the cool kids are doing it, right?

LA Galaxy lead 1-0 in the 31st minute thanks to a 2nd minute goal by Leonardo. Yeah, this could be going better.
