Carlos Miguel Coronel, beard and all, is ready if called upon

On Saturday evening, with Andre Blake on international duty with Jamaica, there is a strong chance new Philadelphia Union signing Carlos Miguel Coronel will make his first Major League Soccer start. Coming off a performance for Bethlehem Steel in which he was nominated for Save of the Week and marshalled a young defense, Coronel believes he is ready for this next challenge.

"I’m very motivated and the most important thing is that I worked really hard for this. I hope to make the very first game and that we get these three points for the Philadelphia Union," Coronel told PhiladelphiaUnion.
