Philadelphia Union enter postseason seeking to break the top seed curse

The Philadelphia Union closed out their historical season with an emphatic 4-0 thumping of Toronto FC on Decision Day, securing the top seed in the Eastern Conference. In the process, they set the single-season MLS record for goals against (26) in a 34-game season, finished with the second-best goal differential all-time (+46), and tied for the best home winning percentage (85.3%, 12-0-5) in the league’s 26-year history. It’s been a season to celebrate: Concacaf Champions League berth, two potential MVPs, three worthy Defensive Player of the Year candidates, and several players earning national team boosts.
