In the first game of the Union's run in MLS is Back Tournament, they beat NYCFC in a not exactly pretty 1-0 effort. We discuss that win, the BPC statement and what the Union did to support the Black Lives Matter movement, and the watching experience of the Orlando tournament. It feels really good to talk about a Union game and feels really really good to talk about a win. We were possibly thrown o...

Raimo de Vries came to the U.S. from the Netherlands to get an education and play college soccer at Wake Forest for Philly and U.S. soccer legend Walt Chyzowych. After turning pro with the Raleigh Flyers, he ended up on the Colorado Rapids in 1996, the first season of MLS. Now with MLS set to resume its 25th season he's one of eight father-son combos in MLS history with his son Jack de Vries poise...

While things continue to unfold in the Orlando bubble, we preview the Union's chances in the MLS is Back Tournament. We are super excited to talk some soccer again with the likeliness that there will actually be MLS games to watch in just a few days. The first half of the episode is dedicated to what we hope to see from the Union and certain players in the tournament, from break out players to pos...

Very little Union-related news has happened since the last time we recorded which means this podcast got very weird. We discuss the NBA's Orlando accommodations and see how it compares to MLS. Also since Premier League is getting "walk-up" songs for their players, AJ found songs fit for each Union player as well as some opponents. In the second half, we take part in SB Nation's theme week, video g...

It finally happened, MLS has returned with a tournament in Orlando to make due with ongoing circumstances regarding COVID-19. While it is weird and certain details are unclear, we love that we get to talk Union soccer once again. We discuss the group drawings and how we feel about the Union's group, other groups that might be interesting, as well as trying to put this tournament in perspective amo...

Friends and teammates since before their Union Academy/YSC Academy days, Philadelphia Union II players Ben Ofeimu and Issa Rayyan talk about what they've been up to since returning home to Michigan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

One of the unlikeliest of comebacks you'll ever see in soccer occurred in the NCAA Tournament in 2016 when Providence erased a 4-1 deficit in the second half at Maryland and went on to win the game with four goals in 12 minutes. I talked to one of the goal scorers that night, Nick Sailor, and Delaware native Keasel Broome, who was part of the Providence team with Nick that won the Big East Champio...

In this episode we don't have any interviews it's a full AJ + Luke production, for better or worse. We discuss the possibility of an Orlando MLS tournament and other possible scenarios to get MLS games going, how to make fan-less soccer matches more interesting, and some important "what-if" talk. In the last segment, we do one of our most ridiculous but possibly most important drafts to date. Enjo...

Double dose of brothers! We are ecstatic to have gotten the chance to interview the Aaronson brothers for this episode. Brenden has broken through to be on of the most talented young playmakers in the American player pool and Paxten is an academy prospect that already has the Union fanbase excited to see. Both brothers come across as super level-headed with typical brotherly banter that led to a g...

Lancaster, Pa. designer recently returned to the club he interned with in college, Reading United, to help with their logo refresh for their 25th season, which has been postponed until 2021 with the cancelation of the 2020 USL League Two regular season.

In this episode, we brought on the boss, Matt Ralph, to talk about the fictional '96 Philly MLS team, The Ringers. Matt shares the origins of the idea and we all share how we contributed to the project (spoiler alert: Matt did most of it). In the second half, we get draft crazy and do multiple drafts in honor of the NFL draft which kicked off during our recording. What idiots we are for recording...

In this episode we got to chat with our good friend, Jared Nisly! Jared went on a trip earlier this year that sounded like any soccer fan's dream vacation. His trip took him around Europe to see some of the biggest teams and stadiums, and he impressively had very few missteps. He was fortunate enough to make this trip before the pandemic outbreak so it was fun to sit back and hear about a trip tha...

Another goofy remote podcast to help distract while we stay in quarantine. We share what we've been up to and have some fun discussing Union cult rushmore candidates as well as each pick an 11 from only American Union players. In the second half, we have a really exciting pair of interviews with some exclusive guests. Enjoy, stay safe, and stay home. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcast...

For this episode, we were fortunate enough to get on a call with Anthony Fontana for an interview. Since soccer is still postponed, we got to ask Anthony about non-soccer questions as well as soccer related ones to give listeners a fun view at the super talented homegrown midlfielder. Anthony has a great personality and was a great sport when we gave him some... unusual questions. Thanks to Matt R...

Now that MLS, along with all other sports, have come to a standstill, we try to figure out what to do as Union fans in this unprecedented time. While we are unsure what will happen with this season, we go over possible options for how to adjust to the lost time when the season hopefully returns. Other segments include building a roster for the 2022 season, grading overall MLS soccer experiences by...

We didn't expect much when we stayed up til 11 to watch the Union play against arguable the best team in the league, but we still did it anyway. And, boy, did the Union make it worth it. Golazo after golazo, the 3-3 tie with LAFC created one of the most thrilling and memorable games we've ever seen the Union play. Jakob Glesnes stole the show with an impossible rip from about 40 yards out and near...

In the first of a new series of podcasts exploring soccer in Chester, we chatted with founder and recent Swarthmore grad Omri Gal, Philadelphia Union midfielder and mentor Warren Creavalle and students in the after school design program at Stetser Elementary School in Chester called Design FC. Special thanks to all of the students, program and school staff who helped with this episode and Union PA...

A disappointing start to the season, the Union fell to FC Dallas 2-0 in Frisco. While showing glimpses of quality, it was a "rusty" performance by the boys in blue. We discuss our takeaways as well as who we thought did/didn't do well in our Union Best Union Worst segment and go through some "hot takes" that might have stemmed from the game and if any are valid. In the second half, we discuss the...

It's officially an MLS match week and we couldn't be more excited. We got our boss and brotherlygame.com Managing Editor, Matt Ralph to get everyone prepared for the 2020 season and Week 1 against FC Dallas. Matt has an extensive knowledge of the Union and MLS and shared his insights on the team going into this season. In the second half we got to talk to Tutul and Neetol Rahman, the brothers who...

We got a new stadium.... name! Talen Energy Stadium is now Subaru Park as the Union partner with the Japanese car company. With that being the only real substantial Union news since our last recording, we jump into some discussions on what players will be the most important to Union success this year and it gets... heated kind of? It divulged into some classic brotherly banter but brought up some...

Somehow February is already nearly halfway done somehow and the season is only a few weeks away. So much gets covered in this episode, topics range from from Jakob Glesnes to new jerseys and even some previewing of other eastern conference foes. Hope you like that new intro music too! Episode Recap: Jakob Glesnes signing Union homegrowns taking over USMNT New Jerseys! Around the league news CBA is...
