Episode 322 - Andrew Rick Shines Bright In The Big Apple

The Philadelphia Union defeated NYCFC 5-1, marking their second-largest away victory in the last three seasons. With Andre Blake still sidelined due to a groin injury, the Union turned to 18-year-old homegrown goalkeeper Andrew Rick for a second consecutive game—and what a decision that was! Rick made seven crucial saves to secure the Union's win. Todd shares his thoughts on the game, discussing Andrew Rick's standout performance, Jakob Glesnes' vital goal, the Union's ability to convert their chances, their status as one of the best road teams in MLS over the last three seasons, and their dominance over NYCFC since the 2021 Eastern Conference Final loss.
