Whoever coined the phrase “Don’t sweat the small stuff” was probably not a soccer fan. We obsess over the smallest details, so we tend to notice when things change unexpectedly. When perusing the Philadelphia Union’s roster page, we noticed the following things had changed:
Roland Alberg has switched from the number 6 to the number 10, vacated by the departing Tranquillo Barnetta.
Andre Blake will now wear the number 18, last worn by Cameroonian winger Eric Ayuk at the end of last season. Blake had worn the number 1 since his arrival in 2014.
