With New York City FC’s win over the New York Red Bulls, the Philadelphia Union are no longer in first place in the Eastern Conference.
In a press conference prior to the May 28 match against the Colorado Rapids, Jim Curtin uttered the words that have become somewhat of a mantra for the 2016 Philadelphia Union.
"The table doesn’t lie."
At that time, the Union were in first place in the Eastern Conference and about to face off against a Rapids team that had taken the league by storm and put themselves at the top of the Western Conference - and by default the general table.
