Thanks for listening, @hury0328! The whole firing of Curtin could’ve and should’ve been handled differently publicly. I’m sure the club knew push back would come from fans once you move on from a manager of 10 years, but all of the negativity goes away once you start winning.

EXACTLY! And you’re not that far away if you want to take a trip up to NYC like so many of the current players do…

Biggest change was bringing Luis Muriel on at half, changed the game completely for Orlando.

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR! Need more people to have the same endorsement as you, Michael.

Also really like how Cavan is playing. Can’t wait for the day him snd Quinn link up.

Agree about Sullivan starting from here on out! Fun fact, he's played the fourth most minutes with 2961 minutes played in all comps. He's also tied with Kai Wagner for most apps in all comps with 41.

@@FreeKickPod yup! No hate to bedoya but he cannot be starting at his age he just looks gassed after 30 minutes. Mcglynn should be first to come out of the starting 11 between Sullivan and mcglynn if curtin wants a “defensive” 8 in like flach. Sullivan doesn’t get enough credit in this teams success in my opinion at least. His errors are there, sure, maybe more than we would like and they get their fair share of time talked about. But I think we forget he is the youngest Union player who gets regular minutes (I think) at 20 years old and does not get enough of his success highlighted, always his little brother getting all the headlines.

Yep, you're correct, Quinn is the youngest of the homegrowns to get consistent playing time, and I've been critical of him plenty on the podcast. Him not having a consistent position when he plays doesn't help, but playing as the 8 on the right has looked like his best spot. Assuming everyone stays healthy the rest of the year, having McGlynn/Flach & Sullivan/Bedoya isn't bad depth to have as your 8's. Bueno is also more than capable of playing there as well of course. You then hope that the front three can continue to stay hot and this team could make serious noise in the playoffs.

@@FreeKickPod yup. As we all keep saying no one wants to play us in the playoffs when we are on our a game. I would love to see some more Bueno, and also not opposed to seeing Danley get a few minutes at the 8 just to see what he looks like in what people are saying may be his more natural position. Really hope adeniran can either get it going or Donovan (I know it’s a long shot) or really anyone up there because uhre cannot go a full 90 and right now our best option might be Sullivan although is not a great option.

Thank you so much!! I’m honestly surprised there is not more of it tbh.

It’s crazy when you think about all the mistakes early on. José Martínez with giveaways, not tracking players. Jakob Glesnes getting beat 1v1 multiple times. Andre Blake being injured. Finally, luck is going the Union’s way.

@@FreeKickPod yup.

Adeniran definitely got fortunate on that play…

@@FreeKickPodhopefully he’s watching a whole lotta film, his decision making has not been great and his touch is awful for a professional soccer player.

Yeah, I’ve not been impressed with his performances since he came over from St. Louis…

@@FreeKickPod me neither.

I like his speed and ability to win back the ball from advancing players. But in an offensive transition he flubs the balls he is given quite often. Too many technical errors, I see him heavily criticized anytime they sub him in but I think he will probably land us a late game goal soon. He has a hell of a foot on him, once he is able to hold onto the ball.

The camera angles are SO WEIRD! I’ll be so glad once they have their own stadium!

I appreciate you checking out the episode whether it be live or not! Yeah, what a confidence boosting game by Andrew Rick, not only for himself, but teammates, coaching staff and fans alike! As for Kai, he’s clearly cemented himself in the top five best Philadelphia Union players ever.

Thanks for watching! Appreciate you!

Thanks for watching!

I believe it is. Last night's game didn't really matter if they lost because you still have games that are winnable on the road (NYCFC or Orlando). That said, the pressure is on to win their last three home games.

Thanks for watching!

found you through Battered Fans .. Inter Miami fan but also now a fan of your good work ...keep it up

Love to hear that! Kris and Danny have a great thing going over at their MLS and Inter Miami show. Really appreciate whenever they have me on, and seeing how dedicated all you listeners are!

And Jim Curtin announced at his press conference today that Andre Blake picked up a groin injury away with Jamaica. He's listed as day-day...

Thank you for the support, Steven!

Danley was FANTASIC! I put out a highlight video on Twitter and Instagram of all his key plays if you want to check it out. Would've added to the goals breakdown video, but didn't want to make it longer then what it already is.

Thanks for checking it out either way! Live streaming is definitely a work in progress, but it’ll be better with time! I appreciate you listening to the pod. Have a great day :)

Thanks so much for checking out the video and subscribing, Michael!

I appreciate you checking out the video, Paisley! I know 0-0 games aren’t always the most exciting, nor do you get a lot of action to breakdown at times.

@@FreeKickPod yeah i couldn’t watch the game and did not want to rewatch a 0-0 game😂 we definitely should have scored a goal between quinn’s chance and gazdag but whatever

I personally think it's fatigue. Lot's of silly mistakes because the defenders never get a rest, and that's because Jim doesn't trust the bench options. Which falls on Ernst for the way he's constructed this roster...

Jim Curtin mentioned yesterday at his press conference that Blake is "still a couple weeks before he’s out on the field training.”

Definitely wasn’t a great game for both Semmle or Celentano that’s for sure!

So many different emotions, seeing Tai score TWICE, the team fighting back THREE times just to lose it in the 100th minute…

Haha, I stayed up until 12! Had a lot of energy after the game so I figured why not record the video afterwards. Thanks for watching!

So difficult! The Gazdag miss from the second penalty was such a huge blow, but they still had a chance to score with the last kick of the game with Harriel’s header off the corner kick. Shouldn’t have been a game they lost.

Agreed! Great job by Quinn to keep the play alive, and then find Julian Carranza making that run!
