Then as the MLS Playoffs get underway, the radio voice of the Philadelphia Union Dave Leno discusses the team's journey into the MLS playoffs, their achievements, and the dynamics that have contributed to their success this season. He highlights the significance of the Supporter Shield, the depth and resilience of the team, the crucial role of goalkeeper Andre Blake, and the tactical matchup against the Chicago Fire.
