The Union’s path to a trophy, Champions League berth is set

It’s win or go home from here on out for the Philadelphia Union in Florida, but with the Round of 16 for the MLS is Back Tournament we now know the potential path they will take if they keep winning.

A win on Saturday over the New England Revolution will set them up for a quarterfinal date with either Sporting Kansas City or the Vancouver Whitecaps on July 30, 31 or August 1.

A win in that game would mean Toronto FC, NYCFC, Portland Timbers or FC Cincinnati would stand in the way of a trip to the final on August 5 or 6.

Should they make that final on August 11, their opponent would be Orlando City, Montreal Impact, defending MLS Cup champions Seattle Sounders, last year’s Supporters Shield winners LAFC, San Jose Earthquakes, Real Salt Lake, Columbus Crew or Minnesota United.
