A lot of the great work Alladoh did last night came in areas that don’t typically show up on the stat sheet during his 65-minute shift.

Hitting pressing cues, holding the ball and releasing, showing incredible acceleration, and most importantly, confidence.

Francis "Frankie" Westfield with a PERFECT cross for Alladoh, for a debut goal.

Get used to this, Alladoh will be scoring A LOT of these this season.

The first lineup of the season.

Andrew Rick gets the nod in goal to open the season.

Alladoh and Stas make their official debuts for Philadelphia.
Bueno, Danley, Rafanello, and Bedoya are set to play in the middle.

A back three of Westfield, Olwethu, and Harriel?

6 PM Kickoff

Damiani, Iloski, and Vassilev are all back with the group for the match tomorrow against Defense Force.

However, Lukic took a knock to his ribs and is being assessed.

Should have listened to Wagner, huh?

Wagner and Birmingham lose to Aaronson's Leeds in penalty kicks.

Great match to watch.

Three years ago, if you would have told me that Kai Wagner, while playing for Birmingham City, would be fouled by Brenden Aaronson, playing for Leeds United, during the fourth round of the FA Cup, I would have asked you for a bit of whatever you are consuming.

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.

Quick break from soccer posting:

I can’t wait to show him one of the best games I’ve ever played. He’s already on track to be a bigger nerd than I am.

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.
