Three things we learned from the Union’s home draw with Colorado

It’s far enough into the season to start drawing conclusions about how far this team may go. After dropping points in three straight home games, the Union have fallen back down to earth. Make no mistake, this is the best team we’ve ever seen in Chester, but to say they are true MLS Cup contenders without any additions this summer would be a stretch. Yes, the Western Conference is better than the east this season, but it’s unacceptable for a team to have three straight home games and not win a single one of them. These past few games have given the rest of the league a blueprint for how to slow down the Union, and the team has not been able to answer to the bunker in strategy in the slightest.
