At first glance I immediately read this as Glesnes. Maybe I need another cup of coffee this morning but I see these kinds of things all over.

Has anyone heard anything about Blake. It's been since Saturday and you would think that some form of injury update would have been released. Has he been in the team training this week at all?

Club record $7M plus $1.5M in incentives. Paxten will be on a DP contract,

All information per Tom Bogert.

Not per Tom Bogert, the Union will receive a portion of the transfer fee as part of the sell on percentage negotiated in the Aaronson sale to Frankfurt.

Wholesome clip I saw from the Soccerwise podcast where Carnell was a guest last week.

Making the trip down for the semi finals was just seeing if anyone else was making the trip!

I've gotten sadly used to the concession prices at Subaru Park, so I was honestly shocked when I went to a Wilmington Blue Rocks minor-league baseball game yesterday and found that a Dogfish Head Blue Hen Pilsner was just $8. Hot dogs were $5. The whole experience was priced in a way that would allow a middle-class person to comfortably attend and enjoy games on a semi-regular basis without taking out a second mortgage. I damn near wept. That is all.

This will be a weekly post. Lets try to keep all of the small impulse post in here. Take a night to digest the game and get your thoughts together, and lets try to keep all the conversation in one place. Please try to refrain from low effort post. They also tend to get reported. They clog up the page, and don't provide good discussions because other post override them.

We are up to 15K users now with 3 active Mods. So report bad behavior so we can see it, we cant read every post and every comment.

We will also bring back the monthly ticket exchange page which will be sticky to the top.

Sources: The Philadelphia Union are finalizing a deal to loan German goalkeeper Oliver Semmle to North Carolina FC of the USL Championship.

Semmle, 27, has made 18 appearances for the Union first team, logging 1,525 minutes since joining the club on January 31, 2024.

With Union II, the organization’s MLS NEXT Pro side, he has made seven appearances, totaling 630 minutes.

This move would free up an international slot for Philadelphia.

5 out of 6 of our losses have all been by 1 goal. And in my opinion every single one of those games could have been at least a draw. 4 of those being 1-0 losses where we don’t capitalize on our chances and just switch off for one play and the other team finishes their chances. Last night was a prime example of it. Shoutout to all the fans that made the trip, just disappointed in how we performed and hopefully we can get our act together for the Cincinnati and Vancouver away games.

last night's game was my first as an away fan and it was so much fun. even though we lost we really brought the energy. what other good away days should I try and go to?

Listen, tonight was a brutal loss. However, I feel as if it doesn’t determine the rest of our season as much as people think it does. It was a weird game, with a match on Wednesday we seemed to put all our chips in on. I think, with a week of rest, we will be able to beat Chicago, and honestly I don’t see us losing to Cincinnati the week after. If we win those two games, all of a sudden we control our own destiny again. While I don’t see us winning the shield, I think it’s very possible we still finish atop the east.

We cannot suffer without it.

Well, someone had to do it.
