The Philadelphia Union's chance of hosting the Leagues Cup Final came to an end Wednesday night with a 3-1 loss to the Columbus Crew. The Union were unable to handle the front two of Diego Rossi and Cucho Hernández, who scored all three of Columbus' goals. Todd reviews comments from Jim Curtin's post-game press conference and the Union's Town Hall last Wednesday, August 14th. Topics include roster depth, future roster plans, and the ownership's commitment to backing Ernst Tanner.
