Episode Description from the Publisher

The Philadelphia Union look to conclude their road trip with three points against the Columbus Crew, which would see the Union go unbeaten in their last four matches. Philadelphia are coming off a 3-3 draw against Toronto, while Columbus are coming off a 2-1 win against LA Galaxy on Wednesday night, in which former Union player Dániel Gazdag opened the scoring for the Crew. Todd and José are joined by Columbus Crew radio play-by-play announcer Chris Doran to preview the match. They discuss Columbus' 2-1 victory over LA Galaxy, Columbus' season so far under new head coach Henrik Rydström, and life for Dániel Gazdag in his Crew career.
