CHESTER, Pa. -- Shortly after the Union’s 3-0 win over the New England Revolution on Sunday, Philadelphia sporting director Earnie Stewart walked into the locker room and wrapped his arms around Andre Blake.
Stewart wasn’t only there to congratulate the Union goalkeeper but also to wish him safe travels.
Blake was headed right to the airport to catch a plane to meet up with the Jamaican national team for two upcoming World Cup qualifiers. And fresh off a shutout and his second straight win, the timing of those games could not have been any better for the rising star, whose confidence is growing by the day.
