Sons of a Pitch: An American Soccer Podcast

Major League Soccer | Weekly Recap, August 13-14 | Philadelphia Union 

Hey, soccer fans! Another week of MLS is in the books, and we're recapping and reviewing all the action from around the league. We're looking at the highlights, results, and headlines from around Major League Soccer including Toronto FC on the rise, Chicago Fire hit a setback, and the Western Conference is wide open. 

In the second half of the show, we profile the Philadelphia Union. A team that despite their record and standing, have flown under the radar for most of the season. While pundits and talking-heads are analyzing LAFC, Austin, and NYCFC, the Doop faithful know their team is poised for a trophy. We'll look at their DPs and their youth that make them a contender in the Eastern Conference and in MLS.
