Episode Synopsis

After blowing a 2-0 lead, the Union survived in penalty kicks against the Chicago Fire, taking a 1-0 lead in the Round One best-of-three playoff series. Todd and José discuss the latest news, including Vancouver Whitecaps center back Tristan Blackmon winning MLS Defender of the Year over Jakob Glesnes and Kai Wagner. They share their thoughts on the Union's 4-2 penalty shootout win over Chicago, covering topics such as the Fire's time-wasting tactics early in the game, finding space down the right side of the field, Mikael Uhre's instant impact off the bench once again, and whether it's a good thing the Union went to penalties in their first playoff match. They also hand out Blunder of the Week to PTI's Michael Wilbon for his comments about MLS.   News: Tristan Blackmon wins MLS defender of the year: [4:19] Philadelphia Union v Chicago Fire (2-2): Jack Elliott's golazo: [17:18] Two set piece goals conceded, zero from open play: [22:54] Chicago Fire's Time Wasting Tactics Early On: [31:31] Finding Space Down The Right Side: [36:26] Mikael Uhre's Instant Impact Off Bench Once Again: [47:09] Is it A Good Thing The Union Went to Penalties in Their First Playoff Game: [56:30] Blunder of The Week: Michael Wilbon's Comments About MLS: [1:07:32]   Social Media: Twitter: @FreeKickPod Instagram: @FreeKickPod Facebook: @FreeKickPod YouTube: The Free Kick https://thefreekick.substack.com/   Jose's Social Media: Twitter: @JoserNunez91 https://nunezj.substack.com/ PK heroics!
