The best look yet at the new kit without professional lighting or models/professional athletes wearing it.

Thanks for this, @mbarrera1323.

Per Bradley Carnell, Bruno Damiani has been working on his green card and is expected to be back "imminently" to continue preparing for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

It is always helpful to the club to have players take this on.

Reached out to a source, not that it was truly necessary considering the picture he posted, but Agustín Anello is already in Florida with the Union squad.

The Union get their new attacking piece.

This is exactly what Alladoh will add to the Union.

Great hold-up play with his body and clean layoffs for players like Damiani and others to finish.

Big mans.

Kai Wagner since joining Birmingham City in the EFL Championship:

Seven matches, seven starts, six victories, one draw.
One goal, one assist, and he has played 98 percent of the possible minutes.

It does not get much better than that for a January transfer.

Neil Pierre, a Homegrown player on loan at Lyngby in Denmark, played 45 minutes against FC Ararat-Armenia of the Armenian Premier League.

He held his own, of course. What didn’t help was the cow pasture of a pitch they played on.

Going live at 9 with Todd Lewis on the Free Kick Pod to catch up.

Spain, loans, the Concacaf roster, and the Florida leg of preseason.

Plenty to discuss.

I am very disappointed by the news on the upcoming changes to MLS Spanish-language coverage in 2026:

“Multiple sources said this week that the league is parting ways with about half of its Spanish-language talent, leaving the rest of the matches with a single play-by-play announcer.” 1/3

Some clips from Neil Pierre’s Lyngby debut aired during an interview on the club’s Instagram channel.

The U.S. youth international played 45 minutes in the match and appeared to register an assist on one of the goals scored that day.

The Philadelphia Union have confirmed their initial roster for the Concacaf Champions Cup.

Per tournament rules, clubs that have registered fewer than 35 players may continue adding players up to 44 hours before each match, provided their roster does not exceed 35 players.
