A More Philly Union

New ground is broken at the AMPU studios this week as Paul, C, and E wisely cede the mic to our first guest host and OG friend of the pod, Nate!  Join the expanded AMPU crew as they try to crack the code of the Union's Season 2.0, explore why Mark McKenzie's move back to Philly is an even bigger deal, and reflect on the question, "Where were you when Cavan scored?"

Thanks for the awesome episode, Nate!

12 games. 10 wins. 2 draws. 0 losses.  At the AMPU studios, gobs are truly smacked by the Union's unwavering momentum as the Boys in Blue continue their meteoric ascent up the table.  Join Paul, C, and E as they revel in Indy's masterclass performance, commemorate a new club record, and celebrate the return of Mark McKenzie (in 2027).  With only seven regular season games remaining, hope is truly alive. 

Play brave.

The performance streak the Union are currently flying on would almost be farcical if it wasn't so badly needed (and just so awesome).  And fortunately at the AMPU studios there haven't been any undersized stage props or self-combusting drummers.  Join Paul, C, and E this week as they further illustrate the powerful second-half-nature of the Union, marvel at Quinn's sublime backyard moves, and continue to ponder the forces behind the Union's epic Season 2.0

The Union's amazing form continues to reverberate around the AMPU studios like a Morgan Freeman voiceover and the AMPU crew wonders and hopes how far the Boys in Blue can still go this season.  Join Paul and E (and later, C) as they marvel at the new Sullivan-Damiani-Damiani-Sullivan partnership, ponder the early nomadic lifestyle of the Westfield family, and highlight the similarities between Richter's coaching style and Project Runway.

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

The Union's rocketing success rate continues unabated and the AMPU crew is wondering if, in fact, we've crossed into a parallel universe where the Union are an unstoppable force.  Join Paul, C, and E this week as they praise Danley's continued excellence on the field, revel in the backyard soccer antics of the Sullivan brothers, and celebrate the cathartic torrent of Damiani goals.  Like all Union fans, to paraphrase from the great 80's TV show, we find ourselves leaping from game to game, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that our next win will be the win home.

The turnaround continues this week, both for the Union and the atmosphere at the AMPU studios.  Join Paul, C, and E as they praise NYRB for their gracious hosting, consider how Cavan Sullivan is neither Freddy Adu nor Jamie Tart, and employ cricket statistics to analyze the trajectory of the Union's remaining season.  Also, C wins the movie reference game with both a LOTR and a Star Wars reference.

Always shoot first.

Six undefeated games into Season 2.0 and things get surprisingly somber this week at the AMPU studios.  Join Paul, C, and E as they take encouragement from the ever-improving Union defense, take stock of the team's fleeting time with Cavan, and take an unflinching look at the cold hard truth of the Union's remaining season.  Then C gives an Oscar-worthy rallying speech to provide the perspective we all need.

Dolly and Tim ❤️❤️❤️

We strictly adhere to the First Rule this week as the entire crew returns to the AMPU studios after some end-of-the-summer-galivanting. Join a well-rested Paul, C, and E as they jump on the rollercoaster that was the past five games as they admit their okay-ness with the Union's bow out of Leagues Cup, celebrate Damiani's goal scoring catharsis, and cheer on the fully Philly melee that was the Miami game.

And that retro jersey: sublime.

The number three is unmistakably omnipresent this week at the AMPU studios: 1) The Union score three goals in their match against Atlanta United, 2) The Union win their third game in a row, and 3) Paul is back and the AMPU crew returns in full tri-fold force!  Join Paul, C, and E as they disapprove of Atlanta's on-field character (and Hoyos's haircut), celebrate Alladoh's first MLS goal, worry about Damiani's Dark Night of the Soul, and congratulate the power trio of Wagner, Pierre, and Iloski.

Happy 150th!

After two consecutive wins, we're keeping our steps baby-sized around the AMPU studios.  C and E fly duo again this week as they try to answer the pressing questions: Is this momentum the Union seem to have real?  Are Atlanta having their own Season 2.0?  Is Damiani the Union's Severus Snape?

Keep it cool, Philly.
