The long-term vision for Union captain Alejandro Bedoya? Return to the MLS Cup final. Full stop.

His 10-year impact on the club has been immeasurable. Now at 38, he gets another crack at chasing MLS glory and says he's prepared to do whatever is necessary to see Philly be the last team standing.

Any word on Chris Mueller?

This seems a bit bizarre as well

I'm pretty sure the 120k was Apple only compared to the newer aggregate number

Random fact, but I was at RFK Stadium for the game that Matt Napoleon was on the bench for the Crew and Chris Albright picked up a yellow card for DC United...

While digging through The Inquirer's archives recently, I came across this from @jensenphillyhoops.bsky.social.

Quite a bit has changed since then.

MLS is far from being the only league globally that does post season tournaments

And as a fan of the team that won the Supporters Shield this year I can assure we still value regular season results

It's an honor that gets you into Champions League after all

I know fans still hold a grudge for the way the first decade of Union existence went, but it's hard not to like what Sugarman is becoming

Most importantly because he is an interested and present owner (and not in a Joey Saputo way) unlike way too many other MLS owners out there

A Saturday big read...

Jay Sugarman wants the Union to get more respect, and knows winning MLS Cup will make that happen.

The biggest prize "feels like the one thing we haven’t quite gotten our hands on,” he says.

And he knows the pressure there is to get it:

As the Union return to the playoffs, the team's principal owner knows the biggest prize "feels like the one thing we haven’t quite gotten our hands on.” And he knows the pressure there is to get it.

I can guarantee you love watching Euros, Champions League, World Cup, etc.

but go on about how bad tournament soccer is...

We really need to move one of the FIFA international windows to the spring

It would benefit all leagues - having 3 windows so close together stifles domestic soccer for everyone

What made it worse was the fact that with all the games at the same time for two years straight you outright ~couldn't~ watch the rest of the teams in your division

Some things they got right with the Apple deal, but some are fundamentally wrong - eg taking away local broadcasts
