A weekly podcast where we swear to talk about the Philly Union, the whole Philly Union, and nothing but the Philly Union...mostly. With your hosts: Paul, C, and E

The turkey and sides provide little consolation this week as Paul, C, and E reflect on the Union's heartbreaking last-minute loss to FC Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference semi-final, delve into the spirit of rules and officiating in games, and ponder the Sophie's Choice of player transfers.
But there is also some proverbial sunshine and chocolates as the AMPU crew discuss Curtin's support of his players, petition the patron saint of midfielders, and continue with the newest segment of the podcast: Question of the Week.
Happy Big 4-0!

It's a Thanksgiving Special this week as Paul, C, and E talk about the upcoming semi-final match against FC Cincinnati, discuss possible game strategies and formations, and give updates on individual player's fitness and milestones (Happy Birthday, Andre Blake!)
But with little soccer news to discuss, things quickly take a holiday-related and festive turn as the AMPU crew dive deep into culinary wonders like the Philly Taco and the musical interpretations of their favorite Thanksgiving foods. This week gives a well-needed pause to remind us that we have lots to be thankful for.
Once again, to borrow from Ted Lasso: We appreciate you all.

It's a quiet week for the Union as they continue preparations to face Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals...next week. Similarly the AMPU crew have a light schedule as they recap the current Playoff bracket and discuss the International break. But Paul, C, and E take a big turn down memory lane as they share their personal soccer histories, highlight the learning tools that are fantasy soccer leagues, and throw their brother-in-law under the bus over a missing t-shirt.

The Union continue to navigate the long, winding, and discontinuous Playoff schedule as they travel north to face off against the New England Revolution in Game 2 of the three-game, first round series. Similarly, the AMPU crew break new ground with one part of the trio recording live from the road while Paul, C, and E discuss the Red Card Strike Zone, St. Louis City's second season, and the ranking of a select group of Drexel Dragons. For both the Union and AMPU...
...Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.

It feels like we've been here before as the Union host New England in the first game of a best-of-three series in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. (That sentence seems to run on for almost as long as this season feels.) The AMPU crew sees some positive familiarities: tactical lineups, scoring, and on-field hustle. But they see some other not-so-positive familiarities, too: injured players, yellow cards, and frustrating playoff schedules. But Paul, C, and E take it all in stride as they consider the Sophie's choice between the Dallas Cowboys and NYRB, propose a Sébastien Le Toux and Jason Kelce line of action figures, and salivate over one of the best named derbies of all time.
Anything different is good.

Frustration and fatigue are on the menu for the AMPU crew this week as they look back on the last regular season game as well as the overall arc of the season itself. And this reflection leads the gang down a path bogged in frustration with refs' calls, shaky lineups, overcrowded fixtures, and ever-changing and poorly designed playoff schedules. But as usual, levity still manages to weave its way in and Paul, C, and E brainstorm possible post-Union career plans for Bedoya, develop the LeToux-Martinez scale for quantifying players' on-field temperaments, and hope that the playoffs will awaken the team that we know the Union can be...
..."as I thought to myself well here we go again."

The off-week provides some respite for the Union and the AMPU crew, but does little to dispel the lingering clouds of uncertainty as the final game of the regular season approaches. The gang considers some of the big questions: Will the Union hold on to 3rd place? Is there any chance of new contracts for Bedoya and Wagner? Can Spam effectively be used to improve our brand? Also, Paul and E test their Union knowledge in C's Trivia Crucible. So many unanswered questions!
What condition is our condition in?

Returning from an unintentional break, Paul, C, and E have their hands full with a healthy backlog of games and team news to discuss. As the Union gear up to play their last game of the regular season and prepare for the coming playoffs, the AMPU crew reflects on the possible final appearances of Bedoya and Wagner, pitches a unique podcast idea involving Glesnes and airplanes, and describes what it's like to follow a soccer game at Prince's house.

The Union host both LA FC and Dallas FC this week and, against all sage advice, Paul and E fly tandem without the steady guidance of C. Discussions include: not doing homework, hiring acting coaches to the team staff, and the debut of the Delco Tourism Council. And, yes, that was Gazdag's goal that was disallowed.

The Union produce mirror-image results as they face off against opponents with near mirror-image names: FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC. And while the results of these two games may look the same, the events that transpire on the field are practical inverses of each other: failure and success, loss and redemption. And amongst all the parallels and paradoxes, the AMPU crew marvel at Gazdag's zen-like PK skills, celebrate Glesnes' record, and plant the seeds of a new trophy competition: the Stinger Shield.
Thanks for hanging in there with us. To paraphrase Ted Lasso: We appreciate you.
