About this episode

The episode discusses the Philadelphia Union's poor start to the season and various related topics including player trades and World Cup qualifications.

It's been a hell of a March. The Union are defeated in their first five regular season games. The AMPU studios are scrambling to deal with travel, illness, and lost episodes. Italy fails to qualify for their third consecutive World Cup. Is there no end in sight to the madness? Jump into the pilot seat with Paul, C, and E this week as they try pull out from this nose dive as they discuss the now-obvious effect of trading away several senior players, indulge in time-traveling fantasies, celebrate Reading getting into the World Cup, and play a game that's sure to go no where: "How Many Union Players Aren't Legally Old Enough to Drink?"
