Ahead of TFC’s encounter with the Philadelphia Union on the Saturday at BMO Field, Eugene Rupinski, of sister SB Nation site, The Brotherly Game, gives WTR the lowdown on this weekend's opponent.

Question the First

A healthy portion of the Union's success this season has been driven by a marvellous rookie class. Keegan Rosenberry was an all-star in his first season and should be a primary contender for the Rookie of the Year award, while Fabian Herbers, Ken Tribbett, and Josh Yaro have all been solid contributors. Andre Blake is not strictly speaking a rookie, but his stepping into the starting position has undoubtedly been a factor as well.
