It’s crunch time for the Philadelphia Union. This Saturday’s showdown against FC Cincinnati isn’t just another MLS game. For the Union, it’s practically do-or-die. Either they win and cross the playoff finish line, or they’ll be left on the sidelines watching the rest of the season like regular spectators.
The Union doesn’t fully control their own fate here. It’s like being in a race car, flooring the gas, but still depending on a perfect pit stop from the competition. That “pit stop” comes from teams like D.C. United and Montreal, who are just ahead in the standings. Beating Cincinnati won’t be enough; they need one of those teams to slip up.
