Doopcast - Philadelphia Union

Sure, this is late too but it is still not as late as Corben Bone challenge.

Sorry, folks - been one of those months / times of year.  The DoopCasters are scattered to the four winds and our schedules are crazier than Bernie Sanders' hair.  We will do what we can in the weeks ahead.

The lads are back in the studio and an old friend also drops in for a quick rant.

I guess it’s a sign of progress for the Union that after a 2-1 loss to Seattle we felt a bit let down, however in the battle of the two young prospects in Morris and Yaro it was the Sounder who was a bounder, overshadowing that splendiferous strike from Seba.  In previous years that might have been a setback but this ain’t your, erm… older brother’s Union as the always pleasant visitors from NYC FC were given exactly what they deserved, i.e. nothing, to leave Patrick Viera shaking his (both literally and figuratively) enormously oversized head.  Guess you made the right call in leaving Pirlo out, coach…

Jamaican Jesus to the rescue after Barnetta's belter left us all delirious and dreaming.

Second place in the second city for a second loss.

I guess as it’s Holy Week it is entirely appropriate that the Union performed somewhat of a miracle in winning in Columbus for the first time as Pontius piloted the boys in blue to a deserved 2-1 victory with Saint Andre getting in on the act by denying the crew three times before the rooster crowed and the whistle blowed. And that wasn’t all, as on Palm Sunday the Union also returned home with a second coming of fine football that left more than one of us declaring, “Christ alive!” As a holy trinity of goals secured three points despite the Union having more problems with spots and misses than a preteen at a middle school dance.

Huh?  He's playing who as a back four?  What?  Fernandes instead of LeToux? Shurely shome mishtake...

The Lads give their predictions for the season and we have an interview with the vice president of the Sons of Ben, Jeff Mitchell.

First half of a bumper wrap up.  Part two should be available soon, featuring an interview with Sons of Ben vice president Jeff Mitchell.

Stormin Gorman braved the elements and an enormous cephalopod to bring you this report.

All the rest of the gongs, plus "should he stay or should he go?" which by now is out of date, but whaddayagonnado?

Records are made to be broken.  Can the broken record that is the Union's futility also be smashed by a new appointment?

Oh... Sigh...

So everybody in Philly is going mental, some Argentinian fella is in town and the whole place goes nuts.  Everyone is hoping and many are praying that he will be the one to bring light and happiness to our fair city.  Wait.. who?  The Pope?  Nah, mate… That’s the wrong Argy....  I’m talking about Chaco Maidana and how his irresistible form will surely make our cup runneth over.
