Big win for the Union last night over the Columbus Crew. Brian Carroll, Sheanon Williams & Conor Casey all netted in the 3 - 0 win. As per the usual, Sebastian Le Toux was a key driver of the offense.

Le Toux!

As I sat watching the first half of the match between Philly and KC, I wondered if my spectator luck had changed. For the last month I’ve felt like I’ve cursed the teams that I’ve chosen to root for. Very rarely does a team I want to win actually accomplish the task. Philadelphia came out of the gate strong and pressed KC who didn’t appear to be prepared for this match. Le Toux scored an early goal to put Philly on top, but when offered a second chance scuffed the ball just wide of goal on what looked to be an easy goal. Is there such a thing?

I had an odd thought while watching the match. Perhaps I could be a Philadelphia fan. They have a French striker and I have a better chance of catching their matches live than the red drink team in New Jersey. MLS Live blacks out the beverage team, and, as I said earlier, Philadelphia isn’t much further away. Philly is local-ish. They could be my TV team. Like Stoke.

Le Toux Dealt to Whitecaps

With the transfer window coming to a close, the Philadelphia Union ended speculation that Sebastien Le Toux would be shipped to the Premiership by dealing the All-Star forward to the Vancouver Whitecaps. In return, the Union receive allocation money. Manager Peter Nowak acknowledged that the deal would allow the Union to field the best possible squad in 2012. As a Union fan myself, it is difficult to come to grips with this move, dealing our best player for allocation money just doesn't cut it.

Later Tuesday, Union officials announced that Roger Torres would be returning for the 2012 campaign, as the team exercised their option to keep the midfielder.

Tough to see such a phenomenal talent part ways to the club, but certainly nice to see Roger Torres stick around. How could the Union let go their best player and ONLY get allocation money in return? If I were Le Toux I'd feel unwanted, and If I were the Union, I'd be embarrassed to have made such a shocking deal, getting nothing in return. Danny Mwanga better be ready to step up big time. That is all.
