Philly Soccer Show: A Disappointing Home Opener For the Philadelphia Union

By Greg Orlandini

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (CBS) -- A tough, frustrating, scoreless draw.

That's not how the Philadelphia Union imagined their home opener, but 0-0 is what they got against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

On today's KYW Philly Soccer Show, KYW's Greg Orlandini, the Philly Soccer Page's Eli Pearlman-Storch, and CBS-3's Kevin Kinkead are joined by guest Peter Pappas, color commentator for the Union.  We discuss what went well and what went wrong as the team began its 2015 MLS campaign.

Peter also talks about working in the booth for the Union.

Then, Greg, Kevin, and Eli dig deeper into the home opener.  They talk about the starting lineup and formation, which featured the team's two big forwards, Fernando Aristeguieta and CJ Sapong.
