While the attention of all Philadelphia Union fans are focused on Saturday afternoon's showdown with Toronto FC in the 2019 Major League Soccer opener, today is a special day for one of the Union's own. Mark McKenzie.
McKenzie might be 20 today but he's accomplished so much before he left his teens officially. 19 was a special age for McKenzie. He made his MLS debut as a 19-year-old and made 19 regular-season appearances. He also earned his first U.S. Men's National team call-up for the January camp. Before that, he guided the U-20s to a 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup Berth.
