Doopy Brothers Podcast

Another episode with multiple games to talk about. There was the Miami regular season game that was... not great. The Higuains got the best of Chester this time as the Union's defense couldn't figure it out. Luckily we didn't need to wait much longer before the next game where the Union gave us something special. After weathering all that Atlanta could through at them, the Union stole 3 points off 3 goals and a stunning second half where they ran Atlanta off the field. We discuss what we might expect in the games to come, NYCFC and Atlanta leg two, and squeeze in some Jim Curtin talks as well. Enjoy!

The Union are coming off two games for us to discuss, one a Monteiro masterclass in CCL and the other a respectable and well-earned tie in Columbus. The 4-0 thrashing of Saprissa sends the Union into the quarterfinals and deeper into uncharted territories and we share our excitement from that performance. We also discuss the Union season opener against the Crew and how our guys stacked up against them. The second half is full of topics; from the Super Cup, mysterious loans, to (a little late) season predictions and giveaways!!

The Union took care of business down in Saprissa and won 1-0 off Kacper's headed goal. There was some Concacafing late in the game but they head back to Philly in a great spot. We discuss who we thought had the best performances and what we liked from the game. In the second half, Luke shared that he watched some video games be played in Subaru Park, we talk about beer, and then we share our ideas on how to get revenge on Saprissa in Chester after the tackle on Wagner.
