Live updates: Philadelphia Union vs. Seattle Sounders
Since it's May the 4th, the Union can take inspiration from a famous former manager of Rebel Alliance FC.
Time: 4:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: PPL Park, Chester, Pa.
TV: WPVI-6 (J.P. Dellacamera, Alejandro Moreno and Heather Mitts, with Tony Limarzi, Peter Pappas and Ian Munro at the on-site studio desk)
Seattle's start to the season has been perhaps the most disappointing in Major League Soccer. But that makes this game something of a trap for the Union, because the Sounders still are loaded with quality attacking players.
How will the Union respond? I have a hard time believing that John Hackworth will alter his starting lineup much from what we've seen in recent weeks.
But since it's May the 4th, let's quote that famous former manager of Rebel Alliance FC:
Do or do not. There is no try.
In addition to live updates from PPL Park, I'll pull in tweets from the two other MLS games going on at the same time: Columbus-New York and San Jose-Montréal.
