This is a must-read - and pretty terrifying.

The Union's starters in their first preseason game, vs. Czech club Sigma Olomouc: Rick, Bender, Larsen, Makhanya, Jean Jacques, Bueno, Iloski, Bedoya, Korzeniowski, Alladoh... and a nameless No. 38. Live stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nju... Supposedly you could watch in person for free.

Livestream for the Philadelphia Union ( #DOOP) vs. Sigma Olomouc match is available, though it’s unclear whether a VPN will be required. The Czech club will be live-streaming the match on their official YouTube channel, with kick-off set for 9:00 a.m.: www.youtube.com/live/1nju1TD...

It feels weird to watch creative, effective offensive play calling after watching the Eagles all season

What’s driving Alejandro Bedoya at age 38? “I really fucking want that MLS Cup.” A conversation with Bedoya on playing in 2026 and what he wants to deliver for the Union: unionsoccerblog.substack.com/p/alejandro-...

He's gone!!!!!!!

Same guys with some new numbers for '26!

Japhet Sery Larsen to the Union is done, per Danish outlet Bold. Transfer fee of around $938,000. bold.dk/fodbold/stil...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Kai Wagner scores his first goal for Birmingham City on his FA Cup debut. Stellar start in England for the former Union defender. #doop #bcfc #MLS 📹: ESPN+

New: I talked with Noahkai Banks, the 19-year-old #USMNT centerback prospect who's getting tons of hype. He told me he knows it's out there, but he isn't thinking about the World Cup right now. Will that change if he keeps playing every week in the Bundesliga? www.inquirer.com/soccer/noahk...

Number 11 is back for season 11 🫡 Philadelphia Union has agreed to a new contract with Alejandro Bedoya. 📝 philaunion.co/aleisback #DOOP

Kai Wagner, Jakob Glesnes and Tai Baribo are gone, and Mikael Uhre might be. But Alejandro Bedoya will be back for another year, the Union announce, in the calendar year when he will turn 39.

Philadelphia Union target Japhet Sery Larsen has been removed from preseason travel, with the club sharing: “...This is because the former is on loan, while Sery Larsen has been allowed to travel to another club to discuss the terms of a transfer." #doop #mls #skbrann 📸: SK Brann

It was a rough few months at Leeds for American Brenden Aaronson, who was the subject of scathing online abuse. But with a goal vs Manchester United on Sunday, he continued to win over Elland Road. His story begins our USMNT weekend roundup: sports.yahoo.com/soccer/artic...

The freelance soccer writing world is grim atm, but I'll be writing about American soccer in 2026, even if just for my own outlet. I'm open to work in a what is a big year for Concacaf in a global context, and can recommend others. Work has featured in Forbes, Guardian US, BBC, FotMob, World Soccer.

Welcome to Philly, Finn! ⚡️ Philadelphia Union has acquired defender Finn Sundstrom. As part of the transaction, the Union have sent the club’s natural 1st round selection in the 2028 MLS SuperDraft to D.C. United for Sundstrom’s rights. 📝 philaunion.co/welcomefs #DOOP

Jealous of all the people posting about not knowing what day it is. Having work tomorrow makes this feel like the most Sundayish Sunday that has ever Sundayed

No yellow for the Brighton player kicking the ball away? Interesting...

BREAKING: After verbally agreeing to a deal & doing medical w/ Orlando City... Carlos Coronel & his camp have went radio silent on ORL with an offer from Brazil, per sources. Looks like Coronel is off to Brazil despite agreeing with ORL & giving word. ORL only wants players who want to be at club.

Seeing Chris Richards stretchered off is maybe the worst case scenario for the USMNT

Every time

This is the sort of contract that if you were entertaining signing it, your friends should smash through a window, do roll on the floor, leap up in a feral pounce and slap it out of your hands

⚫️🔴 BREAKING: D.C. United has completed the signing of Israel int'l Tai Baribo from the Philadelphia Union, per sources. Cash transfer worth around $4m. Baribo becomes a DP for D.C. United. Baribo, 27, has 35 goals in ~4,300 mins over last two seasons for Philly.

I'm okay with the Glesnes deal. Less happy with Jamir Johnson being the latest academy product we've shipped to other MLS teams

Philadelphia Union have acquired up to $2,200,000 from the LA Galaxy in exchange for center back Jakob Glesnes and Academy prospect Jamir Johnson. 📝 philaunion.co/tyjg #DOOP

Tyler Adams down injured 2 minutes into the game against Manchester United. You hate to see it

I don't love this move. I think I'd like it more in a year

The old saying is if you can’t beat them, join them. For #DCU, it looks like if you can’t beat them, offer $4 million for a striker who scores a lot but doesn’t create his own shot off the dribble. It’s far too much money for the Union to turn down: www.inquirer.com/soccer/tai-b...

The Philadelphia Union have signed George Marks to a new contract, with the goalkeeper staying through 2026. But most interestingly, the keeper has two option "years" — one for the 2027 sprint (14 matches) season, ending in June, and a second covering the new 2027–2028 calendar season. #doop #MLS

Sad to see him go. Hope he gets a good amount of game time with San Diego next season

Brooklyn FC has named Marlon LeBlanc the club's first head coach. GM Brian McBride's first big move. Club starts in USL Championship in 2026
