Poetry Corner Kicks: A Game Called Fabinho

Related Topics: Philadelphia Union

Welcome to the first edition of the 2016 run of Poetry Corner Kicks! Even with this loss, I am still excited about this season. The Philadelphia Union are a young, new team. Games like this will happen, especially against teams like FC Dallas. But how does one classify a game like this? When classifying things, it helps to give them a name. So what name is appropriate here? We could say Blake, with his eight saves single-handedly keeping the Union from a complete blowout. But I think a more appropriate name would be Fabinho. For better or worse, he seemed to have his fingers in just about every notable play.
