Ryan Richter shared at today’s press conference that Milan suffered a “minor hamstring strain” toward the end of the New England game and he will miss at least the Nashville and Cincinnati games.

He also reported that Cavan is progressing and is questionable for Nashville.

So hear me out the team losing to the Revs was a good thing.
1. We know who’s the heart of the team. Cavan S (W winger)
2. This loss woke them up and got them angry
3. WE NEED A MIDFIELDER THAT CAN CREATE CHANCES
4. Neil Pierre Will be great if he has a release clause he’s Prett much (does anybody know)

Let me know what you think!.

Playlist includes KGLW’s “The River” and “Rattlesnake”

Going to watch the game outside tonight and stay warm while the boys clinch their playoff spot!!!

We were never going to go unbeaten through the championship. A loss was inevitable. Beauty of a loss like this is we get to sharpen what we need to without sacrificing any real confidence. Why? Because if there were 90 more seconds in that game then we would have tea partied all over those squinches.

If anything the worst part of the day was Nashville handling business. Now Schwake has to wait even longer to get exposed 🤘

Someone please post the Union “Scrib doon” sign that is at the game tonight

So happy for the guy. He has been in great form the second half of the season.

SUMMARY: Philadelphia Union (13-10-7, 46 pts, #6 in the East) welcomes visiting New England Revolution (16-10-4, 52 pts, #3 in the East) for a game in which the Union can clinch a playoff spot. After drawing with Charlotte FC in an entertaining game last week, with goals from Bruno Damiani and Milan Iloski, the Union remains unbeaten in 15 games, a club record. New England is 3-2-0 in its last five games and is coming off a 1-0 home win against Chicago Fire. In 49 head-to-head matches across all competitions, Union is ahead with 28 wins, 11 losses, and 10 draws. New England Revolution won the last meeting 2-1 earlier this season. The current makeup of the standings has New England and Philly facing off in the first round of the playoffs.

PLAYOFF CLINCH SCENARIOS: Philadelphia will clinch a berth in the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs if:

1. Philadelphia win vs. New England or...

Columbus - Toronto starts at 3:30 pm and NY - Miami starts at 5:30 pm so the Union could already clinch a playoff spot before their game even starts (7:30 pm).

UNAVAILABLE LIST:  Raquinho (PHL, After driving his minivan straight into a ditch while squinting to see a ferruginous pygmy owl in a tree along the road, he abandoned the vehicle, which promptly exploded in a ball of fire behind him. Left only with his binoculars, a stained wife-beater, and a leaky tent, Ranquinho is now traveling on foot across the country. He has declared that mechanized transport "creates a boundary between man and nature" and is currently trying to convince his Union teammates that sleeping in a tent on hard ground has drastically improved his match-day reaction times. His obsession clinched a new level: during a recent team meeting, he aggressively shushed the head coach because he thought he heard the distant, high-pitched toot-toot-toot of his target owl, only to realize it was just Sugarman's farts. He remains completely unbothered by his lack of transportation, confident that the owl will recognize his dedication and simply present itself to him), Sugarman (PHL, ate too many beans)

CAUTION ACCUMULATION WARNINGS (one caution away from suspension/fine): Jesús Bueno (PHI), Bruno Damiani (PHI), Danley Jean Jacques (PHI), Kai Wagner (PHI)

REFEREE LIST: REF: Malik Badawi, AR1: Chris Elliott, AR2: Kevin Klinger, 4TH: Ricardo Montero Araya, VAR: Michael Radchuk, AVAR: Mike Kampmeinert

PREDICTION: 2-1 Union win

TRIVIA QUESTION: (courtesy of u/WJMorris3) It took the New England Revolution 12 years to win their first major trophy (the 2007 Open Cup); it took the Philadelphia Union 11 years to win their first (the 2020 Supporters' Shield). Who are the only two clubs in MLS that took longer to win their first major trophy? (For this question, "major trophies" include MLS Cup, the Supporters' Shield, the Open Cup, the Canadian Championship, Leagues Cup, and the tournament now known as Concacaf Champions Cup.)

KNOW YOUR ACADEMY: Which, if any, Philadelphia Union Academy alumni are in the current New England Revolution roster? Marcos Zambrano

What else we got, gang?

Help all
I have two extra tickets for tonight.
Before I put on SeatGeek, I’ll see if a fellow fan would like.

Section 106, club seats.

DM me for details if interested.

Let’s go Union!!!!!

With four games left the playoff picture is starting to become clearer. Obviously some things will change but I think there’s a good chance the 3-6 seeds in the East will be New England, Chicago, Charlotte, and Philly. Of course Nashville has the top spot secured and I think Miami will hold onto second. Not sure if Orlando can realistically jump into that middle group of four at this point.

Assuming that ends up being the case and those 3-6 seeds will be playing against each other in the first round, how would you rank those three matchups between New England, Chicago, and Charlotte?

Hey Union fans,

I recently moved to PA from Minnesota for school (attending Villanova currently). I’m an MNUFC fan, but I enjoy MLS as a whole and definitely want to catch a Union game either this Saturday or on Decision Day.

A few questions:
- What’s the most cost-effective way to get to Subaru Park?

- I’m big into collecting autographs and would love to meet a few players. Where and when is the best to catch home and away players? Should I look into tickets for specific sections?

- Are one-gallon clear freezer bags allowed inside the stadium?

Appreciate any advice!

Does anyone else’s phone so the fever win probability from Google in their Home Screen?

Always wondered, rarely answered: Is it OK to bring outside food (ie, Wawa subs) to eat in Union Yards? We will clean up after ourselves.
