In my opinion there’s really only one Philadelphia Union player worthy of praise. That’s not to say the other 11 players who played yesterday for Philly were all bad, but there’s one that stands tall above the rest.
Andre Blake.
The reigning MLS Goalkeeper of the Year further solidified his position as (in my humble opinion) the best keeper in the entire league against Columbus. Andre continued to show confidence and poise within his 18 yard box. Six saves and a shutout is excellent for the Union’s #18, even if admittedly not every shot was totally dangerous.
