I absolutely believe Zach Pfeffer should have been on that US U-20 team. I was quite disappointed when he was left off the list, but I have to say that I am very thankful he was there against D.C. United. As someone commented on this site, the Philadelphia Union need every able-bodied man out there right now. And somehow, the Union turned in a performance that no one expected: out-possessing the Eastern Conference leaders, out-passing them, out-shooting them, not allowing a single shot on goal - this was not your average 2015 league game for the Union! Huzzah!
Philly won a soccer game!
Three points that they can fin’ly claim
A temporary douse of flames
By winning at their home
D.C. came in playing great
Unbeaten then for their last eight!
A road win certain at this rate
But had to play the game
With ‘Nando, C.J. out a few
Casey started for the U
Many chances (none went through)
He gave United sweats
A Casey goal was not allowed
A hand-ball silenced the home crowd
But Union players were unbowed
And kept the chances coming
Minute fifty brought a chance
That almost saw D.C. advance
Alas the post sent it askance
The game still tied at naughts
Chances for the U rained down
But couldn’t find their way around
The keeper for this D.C. Town
It seemed a tie was sure
But stoppage time brought an attack
That ended with a happy Zach
The goal gave D.C.U. a smack
And home fans were elated
Was this win a bit of luck?
Will winning stay, or will they suck?
This season still has run amok
But I will take the win!
