After the very disappointing quick end to the Flyers/Boston Game, it was great to see them rather than go into a long postmortem, cut the PostGame Show short and go directly into the Union Opener.
I was going to start a Union Thread but was spared doing so with this bump... Thanks... While I enjoy Soccer, I'm not very knowledgeable with the Rules nor the fine-points of the Sport. With that, I still always enjoy watching it as I'm amazed by the skill and endurance... and amused by the theatrics as they all play Darcy Tucker and flop down as if shot, when barely or not even touched... But I digress.
The ability to a full steam control the all and thread a pass through a crowd... somehow seeing the path and teammate... I find both fascinating and near unbelievable... what they can do with that all is magical. The way they can keep up the pace exhausts me just watching.
Today's Game was very exciting, with two Penalty Kicks... one blown and the other going as one would expect... and was capped out with a late Union tying Goal after giving up a late Game Goal to fall behind... the tying Goal accomplished by a great effort and with great skill... There seemed to be more excitement throughout the Game, while the scoring was low.
... And all played in freezing windy weather in front of cold yet very avid and loud Fans on an Early Cold blustery March Saturday.
My hat goes off to the Union as I'm looking forward to a great ad enjoyable Season... that will be extended for me with the apparently lack of Flyers PostSeason play... I'll make sure to catch the Union during the SC PlayOff Games involving
other Teams... and on through their long schedule.
