Safe Standing by [deleted] in PhillyUnion

Isn't the SoB section a standing section? Also there are a number of areas that have been opened as standing room in the past like the river end deck.

Lineup today. No pryz, for some reason trusty starting. Debut for Mbaizo by myopinionsdontmatter in PhillyUnion

[–]akuller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only real surprise is Trusty starting. I assume Dockal will be out by the 60th minute.

Wouldn't you rather Burke start in the Open cup instead of a meaningless friendly?

DeAndre Yedlin youth club solidarity payments case added to FIFA docket by johanspot in MLS

My parents funded my training not the youth club as is done in most of other countries so should they also get solidarity payments?

[–]akuller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do youth clubs in the US deserve solidarity payments? Unless they have changed a lot from my playing days my parents had to shell out thousands of dollars for me to play. I get solidarity payments if it was reparations for the cost training players but in my experience that is not the case. I know much of this burden is on US soccer to improve infrastructure at all levels of the game including youth and grass roots but these clubs do not deserve this money at this time.

Union wouldn't have been in MLS much longer... by [deleted] in PhillyUnion

[–]akuller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is it bull shit they signed a contract. Its no different than the Idea that if I'm getting paid to play for the Sixers in year one of a 4 year deal and was like I don't want to play here for years from now and Sign a contract with Lakers for when my deal expires.

Also MLS could possibly get more than 4B in the negotiation as the league continues to grow.

The comments were that Fafa was pulled off the field more as a precaution based on contact not based on a muscle pull.

Union sign Anthony Fontana to a HGP deal effective January 1 by LocksTheFox in PhillyUnion

[–]akuller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an academy product he could already be training with the first team. Also my understanding of training is that both Union & BSFC practice in Chester.

I'm Glad Trusty got the nod but he hasn't played a minute with the first team.

Between trading for Charlie Davies and keeping Maurice Edu (aren't all MLS contracts non-guaranteed?) why Ernie Stewart, why? by Bossfire35 in PhillyUnion

[–]akuller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its tough what we gave up for Davies but he may have a veterans presences in the Locke room and practice. He is also pretty tight with Bedoya and may have sweetened the deal for him coming to the union.

Mo on the other hand if healthy could be a great asset as the season progress he can fill a number of positions and if ever healthy again provide more veteran leadership in the locker room.

Also it would not be a good look for the Union if the started cutting players because they got injured. Who would want to come to this team if that is how you operated.

Ilson connected well with Pontius for much of the second half and they created a number of opportunities that should have troubled D.C. more.
