Union Pitchside Podcast Philadelphia Union

Switching out football for futbol, Allie and Shaun figure out how the kids’ classic Little Giants and what all would need to change if this were a film about soccer. Along the way they discuss whether the movie holds up, if it’s a good movie and who would play key roles if the movie were re-cast in 1994…or today.

Join Allie and Shaun as they discuss class (or not so classic) sports movies and talk about how they would be different, and probably better, if they were about soccer. In their first episode they reminisce about Space Jam and come up with some wild ideas on how it could have been done with the beautiful game and who, in 1996, would have filled the Michael Jordan role. Then they cast a reboot to the franchise in current day, using Union players and a couple other celebrities.

In his first interview in Philadelphia, new signing Andrew Wooten sits down with Adam to discuss everything from changing numbers four times in his previous club to where in Philadelphia can he find a good steak. One of the hottest strikers of the back half of the 2018-19 season in Germany was a 6’1” German-American plying his trade with Sandhausen in 2. Bundesliga. Thirteen goals in 18 games to finish the season cemented the American international — Jurgen Klinsmann called him up in 2015 and he made one appearance against Costa Rica — as someone who could make a big difference on a club when his deal with Sandhausen ran out in the summer. Sandhausen admitted they wanted 17-goal scorer Andrew Wooten to stay, but the striker was ready for a move to America.
