Before the season started Jim Curtin gathered his troops and set a standard for how they wanted the Philadelphia Union to approach their play in 2016. Being able to play tremendous defense and limiting teams to one goal a game has been a big emphasis, but getting off to a good start and earning points at home was critical.
Before the home opener against the New England Revolution, Curtin shared his vision for how he wanted the home performances to play out.
"I’ve set the goal of at a minimum 10 wins in this building. Historically, look at the club, our highest win total is 12, so people might think I’m crazy in that regard,” Curtin said.
