A less than satisfying couple of games to talk about this week. The San Jose win came with some drama and turned into a great comeback win but Union fans are left with a somewhat bitter taste in our mouths after a missed opportunity and generally poor followup performance in Columbus.

We don't know why but crappy games make for some of our longer episodes. This one wasn't all doom and gloom although we go through what we thought went wrong in the Chicago game and then get into some more "Posidelphian" topics.

A win is a win, no matter how ugly. And it wasn't terrible but we've come to expect more from our First Place in the East Philadelphia Union. But again, 3 points and regardless of the quality on the field, off the field was the biggest takeaway from the game against the Houston Dynamo; The Keystone State Ultras and the Sons of Ben got the place rocking and created one of the most memorable moments...
