Nobody would have predicted a Columbus loss to the Union on Saturday, but, hey, this is MLS. Now, some thoughts on the game.
Not too many people saw that one coming.
After a generally positive, if losing, performance to the Portland Timbers on the road, the Philadelphia Union seemed like a a team ripe for the picking and a great way to get Columbus Crew SC on the path to success in 2016 and open with a bang in front of home fans.
Whoops.
I fell for the optimism too, and why not?
