The Philadelphia Union were one of the best teams in Major League Soccer last season. While there are plenty of other sides who needed to start over and rebuild, they were not one of them.
And yet, that is precisely what they are doing. Not out of necessity, but based on a desire to better themselves as they look to make a deeper run in the playoffs and establish themselves as an elite MLS force.
The Philadelphia Union are not content with being a decent team capable of making the playoffs. They want to be the best, and even after an excellent season, they are willing to overhaul much of the team that led them to such success.
