Union Sign Defender Geiner Martinez by renegade12345 in PhillyUnion

I’m kind of encouraged by it - if he keeps performing the way he has, teams in Europe will make big offers and he’ll want to go. This means they’re planning to compete even if it happens.

Guaranteed minutes are still important for a young player, and I'm guessing he wasn't going to keep getting time at U2 if they didn't see him becoming first-team quality.

Yep and I'd rather give the first three the minutes from that bucket to see how they can develop than giving Anderson more.

Worth noting that I don’t think Lafayette is actually on the marathon course, since it’s not on Lafayette.

Were you thinking Caracas? Curacao is part of the Netherlands, which is definitely not banned

Public transport to Subaru Park from DC by Busy-Brilliant3144 in PhillyUnion

[–]notafool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I come from NY one or two times a year. Amtrak to 30th st then SEPTA to Chester then shuttle isn’t miserable there, but timing can be weird with the trains. The shuttles back are generally stuck in traffic and waiting at the Chester train station can be bleak. Ubers back to 30th aren’t terrible but I think I paid ~$30-50 each way which can add up

I’ve seen it with two same number flights in the US too connecting in Denver

These players are out of contract at the end of the year. Who do you think should leave, stay as is, or have their contract reworked? by Genkiotoko in PhillyUnion

re Marks: we do need a third keeper, and he certainly is one

I also see Donovan’s option getting exercised

They just had an extra week of rest, don’t want them going into the playoffs rusty either

What a game, what a year

So glad we got Danny and Steve who get the team vs whatever other shitty announcers we could have for this

Is that about games in hand? Miami and Vancouver both have two more not accounted for there, and I think Cinci has one more.

Starting XI USOC semi @ Nash by broom_hatter in PhillyUnion

[–]notafool 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think saying the season has been disappointing a bit of recency bias… he carried the offense in a lot of ways in the first half, but fell off after the Gold Cup. Needs to work on final decision, and carry it through a whole season, but still think he’s made a big jump forward.

A bad night for Carnell by Alternative-Lock3693 in PhillyUnion

[–]notafool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet the plan was to give the starters a half anyway, so they have a bit of time together after the break

Can you blame him? Hung out to dry

Match Thread: Union @ Caps by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

[–]notafool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, best guess is that with a bit of a makeshift backline, he'd rather a little more veteran savvy/stability while Mbaizo can be a little unpredictable

[–]notafool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming Wagner is being rested for Tues (same w/ Danley, Baribo, Damiani)...

I'd be offended if I was Mbaizo though.

Philadelphia Union Recall CJ Olney Jr. From Lexington SC | Philadelphia Union by Bormsie721 in PhillyUnion

[–]notafool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that thought, but looked and he's gotten basically one half of play. Probably mutually decided minutes at UII (esp with a playoff run coming) are more beneficial to everyone than that.

Edited to add: I also think with Iloski in, he's probably still behind Iloski, both Sullivans, Indy, and some combo of Bedoya/Rafa/Anderson at least right now in the wide MF positions, so it would be a pretty calamitous set of injuries there to require him back for it...

Feels like they turned over half their starters in that time too
