What could arguably be the most boring and chaotic game for the Philadelphia Union in 2025? Somehow, the Union came out of Houston with a point, tying the Dynamo 1-1 thanks to a goal from Alejandro Bedoya. Todd discusses the latest news, including CJ Olney's loan to Lexington SC of the USL Championship and Kai Wagner's selection for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game in Austin, Texas. Todd shares his thoughts on the game against Houston, covering topics such as Rosendo Mendoza's refereeing performance, Jack McGlynn scoring and kissing the Houston Dynamo badge, and why Bradley Carnell made seven changes. Finally, Todd discusses the Blunder of the Week, which goes to the PRO referees who selected Rosendo Mendoza as the center referee for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game.
