That week-two bye back in March sure would be nice to have back for the Philadelphia Union.
Originally scheduled to travel to Seattle a week after opening the season at home in March, the Union were off the second week of the season because the league moved the game to ensure the Seattle Sounders were well rested for a midweek Champions League match.
Now, six months later the Union are staring at a stretch of three games in eight days that includes a midweek U.S. Open Cup final in Houston three days after hosting Sporting Kansas City.
