First Half An early goal glut propelled the Philadelphia Union to their third win of the season, as Jack McInerney and Conor Casey scored within four minutes of each other to start a high scoring affair against rivals D.C. United. Both teams attempted to feel out their opponents, with neither side getting a proper opportunity on net until the Union struck home in the seventh minute through McInerney. Recently described as the "American Chicharito," a reference to Manchester United's Javier Hernandez, McInerney put his poacher instincts to use after a tackle by Brian Carroll sent the ba...

The Philadelphia Union fell 2-1 on the road on Saturday afternoon against the New York Red Bulls. Despite the Union getting a goal from Conor Casey, the New York Red Bulls would dominate the midfield throughout the game and capitalize on Union defensive breakdowns in order to defeat the Union for the 5th straight time at Red Bull Arena. The first half was controlled more or less by the New York Red Bulls. The Union appeared content to concede possession to New York Red Bulls in order to play a counter-attacking game featuring long balls. The long ball game would rarely end up success...

Conor Casey's would-be homecoming turned into a home wrecking for the Colorado Rapids. Not that Union needed him. Jack McInerney, who earlier saved a goal at the goal line, scored in the 79th to end Colorado's streak.

After a day's postponement, the Philadelphia Union and Colorado Rapids were finally able to meet in the Rapids 2013 home opener. Conor Casey's homecoming in Colorado was spoiled by a hamstring injury, and in his place coach John Hackworth tapped Jack McInerney to start up top with Sebastien Le Toux. The first half of play was incredibly sloppy for the two teams, as both struggled to sustain quality offensive opportunities. Philadelphia had an opportunity to score on a dangerous free kick just outside the box, but despite freezing goalkeeper Matt Pickens, Keon Daniel's shot hit off the...

I chatted with UZ of SB Nation's Colorado Rapids sites, Burgundy Wave, to preview today's game between the 2010 MLS Cup champions and the Philadelphia Union. Scott Kessler: What are the feelings like out in Colorado about Conor Casey's return? UZ: As it was when he was still here, there's a split. There's a small subset of Rapids fans that never liked Casey and are glad that he's away from the team now, though I like to think they're the minority. I'm of the mind that we never should have gotten rid of the guy, but I think even his biggest fans like myself are OK with his leaving foll...

Snow in Colorado has forced the two teams to move the game to today, March 10. The Philadelphia Union are bringing former Colorado Rapids star Conor Casey to Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The Philadelphia Union and Colorado Rapids will move their 6 pm EDT game tonight to tomorrow afternoon, a Rapids beat reporter said on Twitter. A source informed Chris Bianchi, of MLSsoccer.com and ESPN Denver, that the clubs had decided to delay the game. According to a source, the #Rapids have postponed today's scheduled home opener until tomorrow at 1 p.m. The game will now kick off at 3 pm EDT tom...
