A More Philly Union

In many ways, things don't go as planned this week, somewhat for the Union, but mostly for A More Philly Union.  The Union kick off the regular season by hosting the Chicago Fire on Saturday and then continue their Concacaf Champions Cup run by facing Deportivo on Tuesday.  Meanwhile, the AMPU crew discuss the HUHTU Challenge, get wowed by Semmle, and try (and fail) to celebrate their 50th episode with an extended live coverage of the Union's CCC match against Saprissa.  We'll get it next time.

Best laid plans...

The curtain rises on the Union's 15th MLS season as the Boys in Blue travel to Costa Rica to face off against Saprissa in the first of a two-game series in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Then the Union are back home to welcome the Chicago Fire in the much anticipated home opener.  Meanwhile at the AMPU studios, Paul and E deliver a silver-medal "C-less" performance this week as they discuss Carranza's hattrick, formulate the new Diamond of Death, and officially launch the 2024 Help Us Help The U Challenge.

The start of the new season is a mere ten days away!  The Union are wrapping up their pre-season in Florida with an oddly scheduled match against FC Cincinnati and an upcoming final match against Caleb Porter's New England Revolution.  Meanwhile, back in the frozen tundra that is Pennsylvania, Paul, C, and E recap player news, ponder the soon-to-be-released season 15 Union kit, and discuss the mysterious Blue Card.

The run-up to the regular season continues and while the Union continue their pre-season training and fixtures, the AMPU crew break new ground with their first ever podcast interview.  Paul, C, and E welcome Alyssa Radu from the Philadelphia Union Foundation as she shares all the amazing things that this wonderful organization is doing for Chester, Philly, and beyond.  It's an episode filled with inspiration and motivation, reminding us that even if starting out small, great things are possible. 

Even if you only have one match, you can still make an explosion.

The preseason is officially underway both for the Philadelphia Union and the AMPU crew!  The Union experiment with lineups as they scrimmage against CR Flamengo and Austin FC, while the AMPU continue to tweak the podcast as they try out another new preamble.  Also, Paul, C, and E give kudos to Trevor the Intern, suggest a secret Union plot to infiltrate the league with sleeper agents, and workshop a Wes Anderson-MLS collaboration.

Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on...

With St. Nicholas Day serving as an appropriate backdrop for this week's episode, the AMPU crew discuss the good and bad of the roster changes for the Union, the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, and why we'll all be wearing yellow on Saturday.  Then in keeping with the holiday spirits, Paul, C, and E sing the praises of the anthemic Fairytale of Philadelphia and continue with QOTW as they pick their favorite stand-ins for jolly ol' St. Nick and the irascible Krampus.
